Again We Repeat e W hat’s in the Pot isn't Just Luck

This statement we made last year and we repeat it with double meaning this season.

In spite of these difficult times and generally upset conditions we are able to offer a wide and comprehensive selection of new and unusual varieties of bulbs, plants, and seeds as well as a substantial supply of the old favorites at the same time maintaining the rigid quality standards of Dreer.

It is a further satisfaction to us that we are able to make these offerings at our usual moderate prices.

The early buyers will have ‘‘luck in the pot” if they place their orders with Dreer. This “luck”? has been prepared for them by many months of careful and scientific work and planning aided by the accumulated knowledge and experience of more than a century—by men who know plants, who have made their development and culture a life study in the tradition of the business founded by Henry A. Dreer.

Products bearing the Dreer label enable you to buy with confidence and sell with confidence—a confidence founded on knowledge and experience.

jor Florists

All Dreer bulbs have been carefully selected for size and vigor. They are bound to give entire satisfaction if grown properly. Naturally the price for these large bulbs is somewhat higher than that of smaller sizes, yet the difference is insignificant if one considers the chance taken by the grower who tries to get by with inferior stock.

10 Bearded Iris

Alta California. Holds its place as one of the most worthwhile and sensational Iris grown. It is the tallest of all the new yellow Iris and its branching qualifies it for “A” rating either as an individual stalk or as mass bloom. Yellow Iris have long been recognized as being the “spark” that brings out the fullest beauty of any Iris garden and Alta California serves this purpose to perfection. 48 inches.

Buechley’s Giant. Early. An Iris giant in size and height and one of the ten largest and best. Huge brilliant flowers of perfect form in a soft to medium blue effect. 50 inches.

Coppersmith. A very tall and robust growing Iris. Not a new variety but worthy of a place in the garden because of its freedom of bloom, large rich copper-bronze flowers, and good foliage.

Depute Nomblot. Standards light bronzy rose-purple. Falls rosy red. 4 feet.

Indian Chief. Without a peer among the medium tall reds of its color shade and blooms earlier than most when good “red” Iris are scarce. Bronzy violet stand- ards with falls of Dahlia-carmine. A _ good doer everywhere and should be in every garden. Early. 32 inches.

Jean Cayeux. A smooth soft light buff described as “Coffee colored.” Tall and very stately. 36 inches.

Los Angeles. The whiteness of fresh snow with a faint edge of lavender. 40 inches.

Venus de Milo. Gigantic new white. Considered by many as the best white. A perfect flower in every way.

William Mohr. Most orchid-like of all Iris, this un-

usual hybrid is the most distinct variety grown.

The leaves always are small but the flowers are

simply immense. The ground color is pale lilac,

standards flushed darker, the whole flower beautifully veined manganese-violet. Stems strong and rigid,

20 to 24 inches, usually four flowers on each. Early.

Any of the above: 2le each; $18.00 per 100.

Three Outstanding Buddleias

Charming

A glorious shrub bearing throughout the late Summer and autumn elegant long sprays covered with lovely lavender-pink blooms which, compared with other Buddleias, are distinctly pink. For Sep- tember and October flowers we suggest pinching off the first flower spikes in July to aid in the develop- ment of the side branches which will bring a greater abundance of flowers during the autumn. Awarded

Silver Medal by Penna. Horticultural Society. 2-inch pots, 18ce each; $15.0C per 100. Dubonnet A glorious color—a

counterpart of the popu- lar French wine Dubon- net and a shade now very popular in dress fabrics. It resembles the well- known Ile de France in color, but the plant is of stronger habit and the trusses are much larger. Firm, cylindrical spikes closely set with dainty blooms. Of erect growth, strong stemmed, with large leathery foliage, and a good late summer cutflower. 2-inch pots, 18c each; $15.00 per 100.

Orchid Beauty

A splendid new variety of soft cattleya-lilae with a brilliant orange eye. Somewhat similar in color to the well-known variety Fortune. It dif- fers from this variety in its long tapering spikes which are similar in form and size to the popular variety Charming. A rea] addition to the Buddleias for the Florist trade. 2- inch pots, 18c each; $15.00 per 100.

Buddleia Charming

Pyracantha (Crataegus) coccinea Lalandi Firethorn, Evergreen Thorn

There is no other fruiting evergreen shrub that is so attractive throughout the year as this Firethorn. It will succeed in any fairly sunny position, developing into a shapely plant 6 feet or more high. May be planted either in connection with other shrubs, as a single specimen, or may be trained with wonderful effect against a wall. Its large trusses of white flowers are followed in summer by an abundance of brilliant orange-scarlet berries, which, remaining on the plants

throughout the winter, produce a gorgeous effect. Strong 5-inch pots, 75ce each. 26 The “Hundred Rate” applies
