The finest Asters for late August and Septem- ber blooming.
The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2% feet high, bearing on long, strong stems their handsome chrysanthemum-like flowers, which, under ordinary cultivation, average 5 inches across. The form of the flowers, to- gether with the length of the stems, places them at the head of Asters for cutting.

Dreer’s Extra Choice Tuberous-Rooted
Begonias
The Tuberous Rooted Begonias which we are now offering are, of course, all American grown, produced for us by a specialist in this particular line. During the past four summers when they were at their best, we had the opportunity of looking these over, and were delighted to see the advances made in their pro- duction as well as with the superior quality of the various types, and we assure our customers that they can depend on receiving stock at least equal if not actually superior to what we have supplied in the past.
The tubers we send out are from 1% to 2 inches in diameter, the best size for all commercial purposes, be this for growing in pots or for outdoor bedding.
Frilled Tuberous-Rooted Begonias
If you have only been growing the ordinary plain- edged Begonias, you will be delighted if you will give this wonderfully improved strain a trial. The flowers are not only of giant size, but the petals are beauti- fully frilled and waved, not unlike the finest frilled or ruffled Petunias.

DREER’S SELECT CANNAS
We are again this season preparing a large stock of Cannas established in 83-inch pots for delivery April ist and throughout the spring months. We have specialized in these for a number of years and the annually increasing demand convinces us that these plants are appreciated by the trade.
The florist who prepares for the demand for Easter plants will find this well-established stock, of which we can make delivery either before or immediately after Easter, a profitable investment. The plants will be in proper condition to shift at once into 4- or 5-inch pots, thus making ideal plants for sale at bedding-out time.
Prices on Dormant Roots and Pot-Plants of Cannas
The prices given in this list are for dormant 2- to 3-eye divisions; these are home-grown, properly cured and liberally graded.
The prices for well-established 3-inch pots are as follows: All varieties priced at $10.00 or less per 100 for dormant roots will be supplied in pot-plants at $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1000. On all varieties listed above $10.00 per 100, the prices of dormant roots and pot-plants will be identical.
Pot-plants ready April ist; if you can anticipate your requirements, place your order now and we will reserve for delivery at any time in spring.
All varieties have green foliage unless otherwise specified.

Dreer’s Fine Ferns
Adiantum Wrighti
This strong growing Maiden Hair is rapidly gaining wonderful popularity as a variety for cutting, its pinne is intermediate in size between Cuneatum and the Glory Fern, it is of a cheerful bright green color and fronds 2% feet long or more can readily be produced. Besides its value for cutting it makes a most beautiful specimen plant in a 4- to 6-inch pot or larger. It is of rapid growth and makes a good dec- orative subject.
We will have a fine lot of 2%4,-inch pots for May and June delivery; these can be grown on into fine specimens for next fall and winter. $12.00 per 100; $110.06 per 1000.
Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosum
The Glory Fern,
This splendid Fern which so closely resembles Adi- antum Farleyense in appearance and which does not require the special skill and care in growing that is necessary to produce good plants of A. Farleyense, has quickly made a place for itself, not only on ac- eount of the fact that it can be produced for little over half that of growing Farleyense, but also be- cause either in a cut state or as plants used in deco- rative work, it will outlast the old variety ten to one, making it an available subject where Farleyense can- not be used at all.
We have ready shape 3-inch pots, $6.00 per doz.:; $50.00 per 109. 4-inch pots, $8.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100.

The list offered under this heading embraces, besides the latest introductions and novelties, many of which are being sent out exclusively by us this season, such sorts of earlier introduction that are of special merit or that are still scarce and worthy of special attention by the planter.
Cuba (Pernet-Ducher, 1926). As a bedding Rose for brilliant mass effect we know of nothing that will equal this French introduction and although the large flowers are almost single, they possess a charm and brilliancy in color which is an entirely new tone in Roses, a glorious bright vermilion- scarlet overlying an orange ground, this color com- bination is so intense that in full sunlight it glistens with an iridescent sparkle. $40.00 per 100.
Dainty Bess (Archer, 1925).

Awarded the Gold Medal of the National English Rose Society in 1925. $75.00 per 100.

golden-apricot passing to a delicate blush-pink as the flowers develop. $40.00 per 100.

Awarded Certificate of Merit National Rose Society of England. $125.00 per 100.
Golden Dawn (P. Grant, 1929). A magnificent new Rose of Australian origin with which we have been most favorably impressed in our trials during the past two years, and in which we believe we have an ideal garden Rose of great merit of an exquisite light lemon yellow color. Its buds are of an ovoid form, heavily splashed with crimson before opening and develop into splendidly shaped full double fra- grant flowers which are of a uniform color, remind- ing one of the old favorite Marechal Niel and which was suggestive of the name Golden Dawn. The plant is of strong, vigorous upright branching habit, with large glossy healthy green foliage, very free flowering. $75.00 per 100.
(Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1920). A novelty which on account of its coloring and its perfectly formed large double flower, will please every Rose lover. The ovoid buds when first unfolding are cardinal-red with orange suffusion and develop into very large, full double very perfect blooms that last in good shape and which are of a pretty salmon- cerise color suffused with a luminous golden sheen.

It is of strong, vigorous, branching habit, very free flowering and a variety that we are convinced will become a greatly ad- mired garden Rose. $75.00 per 100.
Julien Potin (The Golden Pernet). This is one of
Mr. Pernet’s latest achievements which will prob- ably become better known as The Golden Pernet. It is unquestionably the most gorgeous and brilliant yellow Rose yet introduced, a rich golden yellow that grows richer and deeper as the flowers mature. The buds are long and shapely and develop into large, full flowers of beautiful form, delightfully sweet-scented. Habit of growth upright with ample, attractive, glossy, bronzy-green foliage, very free- flowering. $50.00 per 100.
Another beautiful Dickson Rose that will not be distributed by the originators in Europe until the middle of June. We feel fortunate in being in position to offer a limited stock of strong plants for delivery this spring. It produces splendidly formed flowers very much on the type of Mrs. Henry Bowles, a variety that is a favorite with us, it being one of our most reliable bedding varieties, but Lady Barnby differs in color, it being a lovely shade of clear rose pink. The plant is of excellent habit, strong vigorous growth and very free flowering and sweetly scented. Delivery of this variety will be made after March ist. $125.00 per 100.

Lady Florence Stromge (McGredy, 1925). An entirely new, distinct and novel color; a reddish prawn to violet old rose shading to yellow at the base and pink towards the edge, the inner surface of the petals heavily veined and flushed scarlet, the flow- ers are large, full with high centres and fragrant. Vigorous in growth and free-flowering. $40.00 per 100.
Lady Leslie (McGredy, 1929). Some modern critics lament the absence of fragrance at the expense of vivid colors, but in the beautifully formed good sized flowers of Lady Leslie we have a combina- tion of sweetest fragrance and brilliancy in coloring. In the early stages the flowers are rosy scarlet which, as they develop, passes to a scarlet-carmine suffused with saffron yellow on a yellow base, a warm glowing color combination particularly in the young state: The plant is of ideal bedding type with free upright bushy growth and healthy dark green foliage. Awarded Certificate of Merit Na- tional Rose Society of England. $125.00 per 100.
Lady Margaret Stewart (Alex. Dickson, 1926). A Rose of unique color, the flowers in the young stage are a deep sunflower-yellow heavily veined and splashed with orange-scarlet, reverse of the petals deeply suf- fused with carmine, as the flowers develop these colors intermingle forming a beautiful cadmium orange effect. The bud is long and pointed, opening to a full double flower of pleasing decorative form of delightfully sweet scent. $75.00 per 100.
Lady Mary Elizabeth (Alex. Dickson, 1927). A variety of outstanding merit. Of strong, vigorous, upright, branching habit with good healthy foliage and very prolific flowering. Flowers delightfully fragrant. Long ponited buds with deep substantial petals in eolor a brilliant carmine-pink. $50.00 per 100.
Lord Charlemont (McGredy, 1922). Although intro- duced some seven years since, this beautiful variety is still very scarce. It is the most gorgeous and brilliant dark red Rose we have with flowers of the most intense clear crimson-scarlet, deepening to ecarmine-crimson with almost black shadings with perfectly shaped long pointed buds and large, full double, sweetly scented flowers. Free growing and free flowering, a splendid Rose of exceptional rich- ness and beauty. $75.00 per 100.
Marcia Stanhope (G. Lilley, 1922). A delightfully fra- grant pure white; a good sized full double flower, fine both in the long bud as well as in the fully expanded flower; vigorous and free. $60.00 per 100.
——
pieces, large, beautifully shaped full double flowers, entirely distinct from all others in its rich color- ing which is a brilliant shade of Turkish or Ori- ental red passing as the flowers age to a beautiful carmine-rose, these are borne on long stiff stems and hold their form and beauty for a long time. $50.00 per 100.
Marion Cran (McGredy, 1927). The color combination
is the most wonderful we have yet seen in any Rose. In the young stage before the flowers expand the color is deep buttercup-yellow, margined and flushed cerise and rosy-scarlet. As the flower opens the outside of the petals retain their color, while the inner side opens a brilliant geranium scarlet flushed and veined orange and yellow; as the flowers age the color changes to a deep cerise on bright rosy- searlet flushed buttercup-yellow. The whole flower glows and has a wonderful sheen and when fully open the color combination is delightful. The flowers are full, of nice form, and medium to fairly large in size. The habit is bushy, free, and upright mak- ing a magnificent bush; one of the freest and most perpetual flowering garden and bedding Roses. $50.00 per 100.
Marquise @Amndigne (Leenders’ Bros., 1927). Buds
large, long pointed developing to very large, very full, double long lasting fragrant, velvety scarlet- crimson flowers borne singly on long strong stems. Growth very vigorous, bushy and a profuse bloomer with dark green healthy foliage. Awarded Gold Medal at Saverne. $75.00 per 100. ,
May Wettern (Alex. Dickson, 1928). A magnificently
formed bud and flower of moderate fullness and artistic coloring. The flowers are composed of immense, deep, wide petals of very solid texture, their formation making a beautifully built long bud and high pointed flower, in which the inner face of the petals evolves from a bright salmon pink in the bud to deep flesh pink; then to bright pink in the more developed flower; the outer side passes from deep rose to rosy pink and finally to bright rose, the blending of these tones creating a wonderful color harmony.
In growth, it is upright and free, throwing many base and side shoots which produce long-stemmed flowers quickly and freely. Very sweet scented. Gold Medal National Rose Society, England. $75.00 per 100.
Mevrouw, G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 1926). <A
marvelously beautiful Rose with a unique color combination not found ini any other variety, a most striking blending of dark vivid orange and apricot on a golden yellow ground with frequently touches of bronze on the reverse of the petals. The sweet- scented flowers are very large, of perfect forma- tion both in the bud as well as in the fully devel- oped flower and are produced very freely on vigorous upright growths. Gold Medal at The Hague and Certificate of Merit with Congratulations of the Jury of the Royal Dutch Horticultural Society. $200.00 per 100.
Mme. Henri Queuille (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). This
splendid Rose in the formation of its large, full flow- ers, strong, vigorous, healthy growth and freedom of flowering reminds one of the same raiser’s popu- lar bedding variety, Souvenir de Georges Pernet, excepting in color which is much lighter, being a pretty shrimp or coral pink on an orange-copper base. $75.00 per 100.
Miss Rowena Thom (Howard & Smith, 1928). In
vigorous habit of growth, freedom of bloom and in its adaptability to varied climatic conditions, this will prove equal to the popular Radiance Roses, while its flowers in size and form are equal to the best high-class varieties of recent introduction and all of which it will outclass in freedom of flowering. Its buds are long and shapely, opening to perfect double flowers frequently 5 inches across of a bril- lfant rose-pink, the base of the petals having a golden suffusion which as the fragrant flowers un- fold, adds to the brilliancy of its coloring. $75.00 per 100.

The Prices Quoted are for Strong Dormant Bare Root Plants Delivered Before March Ist.
Mrs. Lovell Swisher (Howard & Smith, 1926). A re- markably vigorous grower of branching habit, well furnished with excellent foliage, freely producing perfectly formed long shapely buds with nicely re- flexing petals that develop into good double flowers. The color of the buds is a deep coppery salmon at base merging to salmon-pink at the tips. The de-
veloped flowers are also salmon-pink, deepen- ing towards the centre. Delightfully tea scented. $40.00 per 100.
~Mrs. W. E. Nickerson (McGredy, 1927). An ex- tremely vigorous growing very free-flowering Rose of the duatone Pernetiana type. The splendidly-formed buds are of an entrancing new color, the exterior of the petals heavily - veined with rose d’or and shaded orange cad- oa mium, the interior a deep chrome-yellow on the lower half, veins out and passes to a warm
rich rosy-salmon. $40.00 per 100.
ro Ce Norman Lambert(McGredy, 1926). A distinct color ee combination that is novel. The outside of the petals is a deep chrome-yellow with a marginal
color effect of brilliant orange-scarlet merging
S to an irregular zone of burnt orange, the inside > salmon-orange suffused bronze, shading to yel- * low at the base. The flowers are of medium size
y and form, delightfully fragrant and free-flow-
ering. A splendid bedder. $50.00 per 100.
a Patience (McGredy, 1927). One of the finest Roses of very recent introduction. Its splendid long pointed buds are of a deep scarlet carmine opening to large fragrant double perfect blooms that shade from orange at the base of the petals to rich carmine at the edges. It is of strong robust habit with glossy holly-like foliage and extremely free flowering for
a Rose of its large size. $75.00 per 100.
New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Miss Rowena Thom
A valuable bedding variety.
Mrs, A. R. Barraclough (McGredy, 1926). A most dis- tinct and valuable Rose, of a bright but soft spark- ling carmine-pink of even tone that passes to yellow at the base of the petals; this attractive color does not fade as the flower ages, but if anything becomes richer and brighter. The bud is long pointed and develops into a full double flower of model form and substance; very fragrant. $50.00 per 100.
Mrs. Beatty (Cant & Sons, 1926). An exquisite self- colored light lemon-yellow with the delightful per-
fume of the old favorite Marechal Niel. Habit of growth good, with disease-immune foliage, always
Portadown (McGredy, 1928). Messrs. McGredy are most enthusiastic in their praise of this new deep crim- son with velvety sheen which they describe as hav- ing large, full, beautifully formed flowers, reminding one in perfection of shape of Mrs. Henry Morse when atits best. Habit vigorous and bushy, a continuous free bloomer with dark green foliage. Certificate of Merit National Rose Society, England. $125.00 per
Portadown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). This is one of
in flower with large, long, oval-pointed buds. A Rose that is destined to become a popular favorite. Awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose So- ciety and Certificate of Merit of the Royal Horticul- tural Society of England. $40.00 per 100.
Mrs. C. W. Edwards (McGredy, 1924). Rich rosy-scar- let overlying an orange ground, the base of the petals prettily zoned citron-yellow which runs in faint veinings into the higher colors; a novel color combination. Strong, vigorous habit of growth; very free flowering, with large, full, fragrant flow- ers. $50.00 per 100.
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom (Howard & Smith, 1926). We are convinced that this is the best yel- low bedding Rose we have today. It is of clean healthy vigorous growth with abundant dark bronzy disease-resisting foliage and a continuous free bloomer throughout the season. The medium sized buds are long and shapely and develop into good sized full double flowers of a rich deep lemon yel- low, sweetly scented. $50.00 per 100.
Mrs. Henry Bowles (Chaplin, 1921). Everybody ad- mired the old favorite Mme. Abel Chatenay, for a long time one of the most popular Roses, but which has practically disappeared from commerce. In this we have the same pleasing warm color values but in flowers of much greater size. Color a most effec- tive deep salmon-pink and of splendid form. Vig- orous growing and free flowering. $50.00 per 100.
the brilliant Roses that makes an instant appeal by its charming combination of unusual colors. The petals are orange-yellow on the outside, with a rich cerise flush that deepens towards the edge, and inside there is a suffusion of glowing scarlet- cerise on an orange ground, the blend of colors giving a warm tone to the whole flower, which is of moderate size, good form and thick texture of petal. They are very freely and continuously pro- duced and are fragrant. Foliage dark green and mildew proof, stems strong with few thorns carry- ing the flowers erect, free bushy habit. A Rose that has only to be seen to be admired. Certificate of Merit of National Rose Society, England. $125.00 per 100.
Portadown Ivory (McGredy, 1929). There are few
light colored Roses that possess a long spiral form in the bud stage, and large, well formed, fully de- veloped flowers of thick petalage and good lasting qualities, all of which are combined in Portadown Ivory. Its color is a creamy white of soft and deli- cate tone that merges into a light yellow base, really a color section in which there has been little or no development in recent years and in which this new variety will prove a valuable addition. It is free and perpetual flowering with very dark green healthy foliage which provides a rich contrast to the flowers which are borne on long stout stems. The plant is of vigorous constitution and free habit. Awarded Gold Medal of National Rose Society of England. $125.00 per 100.

Dickson state that they do not Know any other Rose of its size that will produce flowers in such profusion right through the season. $125.00 per 100.
Souvenir d@Alexander Bernaix (Bernaix, 1926). A beautiful large flower, 4% inches or more in diame- ter and unique and distinct in color, probably the deepest colored of any Hybrid-Tea variety. While the flower is of flat cupped form both in bud as well as in the fully developed bloom, it is of artistic build and full double with from 48 to 50 substantial petals which are neatly arranged: In the half-expanded bud the petals are incurved, of an intense deep vel- vety crimson-red on a maroon ground with touches of scarlet on the outer petals. As the flower fully develops it becomes suffused with vermilion carmine at the edge of the petals. $125.00 per 100.

Chaplin’s Pink Climber
Unquestionably the most important acquisition in climbing Roses since the introduction of Dr. Van Fleet and Paul’s Scarlet Climber, which are universally recognized as the two most popular climbing Roses and to which Chaplin’s Pink Climber will prove an equally valuable companion,
This striking novelty originated at Waltham Cross, England, in the same nursery in which Paul’s Searlet Climber was raised. It is a cross between Paul’s Climber and American Pillar, of strong vigorous growth,
perfectly hardy, with large glossy dark green foliage, producing its large flowers, similar in size and form to Pauls Searlet Climber, very profusely in strong trusses of from 8 to 12 flowers each, but in color it is a rich livel ink,

DREER’S SELECT
Hardy Perennial Plants
For many years Hardy Perennials have been one of our principal specialties and our stock at the pres- ent time is unquestionably the most complete both in quantity and variety in the country.
The majority of the Perennials here offered are pot grown; this does not mean that the plants have been altogether pot grown, they are mostly field grown plants that are potted during the fall and winter months. Usually beginning early in April the plants are shipped with the pot ball of soil; such stock can._be planted late in spring and during the early summer months without risk of loss, which is not the case with plants dug from
the field as the season advances.
We make no charge for boxes or packing

The display of Japanese Flowering Cherries at Washington, D. C., in early spring is one of the great sights of our national capital and annually attracts thousands of visitors.
These cherries are among the earliest trees to flower, coming into bloom early in April. The different varle- ties, single and double, extend the flowering season for fully four weeks, the attractive single-flowered varieties coming into bloom first, followed by the dou- ble sorts. They are perfectly hardy, and will succeed in almost any location.
We offer eight of the choicest varieties, six erect growing and two weeping varieties, a selection made for us by one of the most experienced growers.
Erect Growing Varieties
Daybreak. One of the earliest to bloom, flowers sin- gle pink appearing before the leaves in greatest profusion.

Pink Pearl. The earliest of the doubles. Flowers fully 1% inches in diameter, light pink shading deeper at the edges; very free. :
Double light pink massed into large com-
Takasago. pact clusters, very showy, blooms before the leaves appear.

WHOLESALE LIST
Pyracantha (Crataegus) Coccinea Lalandi
(Firethorn or Evergreen Thorn)
There is no other fruiting evergreen Shrub that is so attractive throughout the year as this fiery Thorn, and which will succeed in any fairly sunny position, devel- oping into a shapely plant 6 or more feet high; it may be planted either in connection with other Shrubs or as a single specimen or may be trained with wonderful effect against a wall. Its large trusses of white flow- ers are followed in summer by an abundance of bril- liant orange-scarlet berries, which, remaining on the plants throughout the winter produce a gorgeous effect. Strong pot-grown plants 15 to 18 inches high, 75 ets. each.
