Super Giant Los Angeles
This outstanding, giant flowering variety received an
Award of Merit, 1934 All America Selections. It is a
giant in size and has fully double blooms that measure
6 to 8 inches across. The gracefully and delicately inter-
laced flower petals give it an airy charm. The color is

It will pay to get fully acquainted with these splendid novelties 1
Marigold, Yellow Supreme
Yellow Supreme
There cannot be any doubt that Yellow Supreme is one
of the most beautiful Marigolds ever introduced. In some
ways it is a companion to Guinea Gold, yet again it rep-
resents an improvement in size and graceful formation
of the blooms. The plants make a pyramidal growth. 2
to 2% feet high, bearing gracefully ruffled double
blooms that greatly resemble giant Carnations. It has
an elusive sweet fragrance. Tr. pkt. 30c; oz. $1.50.
Mexican Orange
You are bound to enthuse about this variety fully as
much as we did. In our opinion it is the most desirable
of the rich golden orange varieties, growing about 3 feet
in height and bearing great masses of very large, fluffy,
round flowers of most refined form. They are fully
double with more petalage than Guinea Gold but suffi-
ciently loose in formation to be graceful and artistic.
Tr. pkt. 40c; oz. $2.25.
Guinea Gold
This is now~so well known that there is no need to
give a detailed description. The splendid pyramidal
growth of the plants is a most desirable feature and the
broad, wavy petaled, brilliant golden orange blooms are
as vivid and charming as any flower can be. Its popu-
larity no doubt also is due to the fact that it has none
of the pungent Marigold odor. Tr. pkt. 30c; oz. $1.50.

have this new Marigold
which has proved one

blooms’ with broad,
gold-edged, mahogany
brown guard petals and
a high, thick cushion
of golden yellow center

Nasturtium, Golden Gleam
Double Sweet Scented Nasturtiums
With the introduction of Golden Gleam several
years ago a new interest in Nasturtiums was |
aroused and it became the greatest novelty in
flowers that has been introduced. The grower has
succeeded in developing a scarlet variety* and a
splendid mixture of hybrids, which we offer below.
The plants form vigorous large bushes which throw
out short runners. When well grown the flowers
average 2% to 3 inches across, having the appear-
ance of a fully double flower. They have a delight-

9 inches high and they form perfect little balls
which are literally smothered with the dainty frilled
blooms. The individual flowers measure about
inches in diameter. Besides the exquisite form of the
blooms the colors also add considerably to their at-
tractiveness. The frilled portion of the flower is a
charming blush pink, whereas the center is strongly
veined with brilliant wine red which deepens in the
throat into a lovely deep violet. The veining is
unique, resembling a Pelargonium in its exquisite
beauty. Comes 100% true to color. Particularly fine

Double Fringed Petunias
Great strides have been made within recent years in
the development of double Petunias. As the produc-
tion of the seed is a matter of very careful work it
consequently must be expensive. Careful handling of
the seed is recommended. It is the nature of the seed-
lings which produce the best double blooms to be some-
what tardy during their early development. Usually
they appear as if they lack vigor and their foliage
appears crumpled. The grower who realizes this will
pay particular attention to this type of plants with the
result that his crop will give him better results than
those who do not understand the peculiar habit of
double Petunias and go in for selecting the earliest and
strongest seedlings when they do their work of trans-
planting.
Rose-Pink and White. We believe this is the most
beautiful of all double fringed Petunias we have ever
seen. The blooms are a bright rose-pink with a broad
white frill. 500 seeds $1.25; 1000 seeds $2.00.
Rose Queen. The double blooms measure 5 to 6 inches
in diameter. They are a glorious shade of bright
rose-pink. The frilling of the petals is most graceful
giving the double flowers a particular charm. 500
seeds $1.50; 1000 seeds $2.50.

Dreer’s Extra-Selected
Early-Flowering Orchid
Four Outstanding New Sweet Peas
Shirley Temple—i936 Novelty
The originators of this new Sweet Pea consider this
the most beautiful Sweet Pea they ever introduced.
It was obtained by crossing Pinkie and Lady Gay. The
blooms have the size and richness of Pinkie combined
with the dainty frilling and fluting of Lady Gay. The
sprays are long stemmed and carry four enormous,
well proportioned blooms each. ™% oz. 60c; 0z. $2.00;
4 Ib. .00.
Exposition Pink
A gorgeous rich pink—as fascinating a color as ever
seen in Sweet Peas. Has a sparkling brilliance that
lightens them up under artificial illumination but is
equally colorful as seen in daylight. Beautiful, well
formed, large blooms arranged in fours on long stems.
Oz. 50c; % lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00.
Lavanda
We consider this the finest lavender Sweet Pea. It
has extremely large flowers of good dimensions carry-
ing four blooms perfectly spaced on a long and stout

duces more than the usual number of flower sprays
per plant. Oz. 50c; %4 lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00.
Annie Laurie
There are other rose-pinks but none has such rich-
ness and is so pure in color. It is several shades

Our list embraces all the popular va-
rieties for every purpose, and the prices will be found right for No. 1 top-size
bulbs, which is the only size we handle.
The difference in price between top-
size bulbs and second and third size does not justify taking the risk of having
smaller blooms or such as do not bloom at all.
Our bulbs are all thoroughly

Dreer’s Gold Medal Gladiolus
Our Gold Medal Blends are made up entirely of
named sorts, grown separately, and blended according
to a carefully considered formula, so that there may
be a proper balance of the various colorings and shad-
ings. We know from experience that it is practically
impossible to grow Gladiolus in mixture and have them
give satisfaction to our customers. Such mixtures soon
become loaded with less desirable but rapidly propa-
gating sorts and the whole color scheme is thereby
thrown out of balance.
In our blends we use only the finest named kinds
and no yariety enters into them that is not large
flowering and of attractive color. Good texture,
strong spike and artistic placement of the blooms are
requirements of the greatest importance. All are sorts
that are well worth growing individually.
Section One. The range of coloring extends from rich
rose, through old rose, rose ash, orange-scarlet, and
bright red, to deep crimson and velvety maroon. 30c
per doz.; $2.00 per 100; $17.50 per 1000.
Section Two. From palest blush to warm deep pink
and soft rose, from cream and primrose to citron
yellow and salmon-orange, together with snowy and
tinted whites and other sorts splashed or stained
with deeper blending shades. The colorings of our
Gold Medal Section 2 Blend always carry a strong
appeal. 30c per doz.; $2.00 per 100; $17.50 per 1000.
Section Three. Pale lavender, deep blue, lilac, heliotrope,
amaranth, and velvety royal purple—all of the rich
“Pansy” shades have been garnered for this blend.
35c per doz.; $2.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1000.
All Sections Mixed. An actual mixing in due proportion
of bulbs from the three numbered blends. If you
want all of the possible worthwhile Gladiolus color-
ings, you should find them here. 30c per doz.; $2.00
per 100; $17.50 per 1000.
Primulinus Hybrid Gladiolus
These are most attractive, easy to grow, and sure
to bloom. They lend themselves particularly well to
interesting decorative effects and soft color harmonies.
In hot, dry locations, where other varieties would
burn out, they will still give a wealth of flowers, but
naturally they respond, like all Gladiolus, to high culti-
vation and favoring environment. The color range runs
from primrose to rich orange, apricot, and crimson,
but there will be shades of pink and rose as well, to-
gether with rare coppery hues. We offer a mixture of
named varieties, grown separately, and blended to give
a proper color balance. 25c per doz.; $1.75 per 100;
$15.00 per 1000.

DREER’S SELECT
Hardy Perennial Plants
Specially Grown in Pots for Outdoor Planting
The majority of the stock offered is pot grown. This does not mean that
the plants have been altogether pot grown but that they have been field
grown, dug, and potted up during the fall months.
Such stock can be planted
even late in the spring with practically no loss, whereas clumps seldom do
well when planted late in the season. Our experience has been that a vigorous
pot plant of proper size will, in nearly every case, give quicker and better
results than the best so-called “field clumps.”

Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums
The World’s Best Collection
2-inch pots—Ready in March
For a quarter century we have been selecting and
producing new varieties of Garden Chrysanthemums,
constantly endeavoring to increase their desirability
and usefulness for outdoor use. As newer, better, and
hardier varieties appear, we are obliged to discard
many old favorites. You may rest assured that the
newer ones selected in the same colors have qualities
of superiority justifying their trial and adoption by
you. Last year we were particularly successful in
creating a fine lot of wonderfully superior varieties
having Koreanum as one of the dominating strains.
The increased hardiness of these has been demonstrat-
ed. In the 1936 set of ten offered below, we have
succeeded in producing larger flowers with a greatly
enhanced range of colors. In addition, the varieties in
this set bloom from one to three weeks earlier than
Korean crosses heretofore offered. They will have
passed their prime before injury from severe frosts
occurs

8 months older, but much more vigorous.

flowers. $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.
