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.

DREER QUALITY BULBS e¢ 


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.

May we suggest that you send us your order for

planted during the early part of the autumn and 
even those that are planted late should be secured

sibility of any particular varieties wanted being 
sold out, particularly this year, as the supply of 
many varieties is very short.

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. 


President Pilkington. Large, of bold form, well- 
branched, many buds to stalk and medium tall. 
Standards vinaceous buff underlaid old gold, with 
falls of soft violet faintly edged silvery brown. The 
elegant dignity of this Iris gives it a charm that is 
difficult to describe. Midseason. 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. 


12 Japanese Iris 


Astarte. Beautiful double dark violet; good strong 
grower. It is a valuable variety for the reason that

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.

Calceolaria hybrida grandiflora 


We pride ourselves on this special 
Dreer’s strain which contains the most beautifully 
spotted and blotched varieties in an exceedingly rich 
and varied assortment of colors. The plants are of 
perfect form and fine substance. They are dwarf, 
compact, and very free flowering. Calceolarias are 
universal favorites for decorating the greenhouse or 
conservatory and the beautiful pocket-like flowers 
make it an ornamental plant hard to excel. This 
strain is grown for us by a celebrated Scotch spe- 
cialist and it is considered the finest in cultivation.
