Unrecorded trade catalog for this prolific Philadelphia seedsman who sold seeds by mail. Six pages are devoted to annual flower seeds that were available.

The rear wrap is a further advertisement for ever-blooming roses (Bourbon, China, Noisette, etc.) and bedding plants; all on offer at Dreer's nursery and green house at 35th and Elm -Streets in West Philadelphia. In 1838, Henry Augustus Dreer (1818-1873) first opened his seed and florist store, Henry A. Dreer, Inc. "Dreer saw the need for demonstration and experiment farms. From 1839-1850, his nursery was on the estate of William Hamilton, known as 'The Woodlands.' His six small greenhouses were at 35th Street for twenty-three years until 1873 when they were moved to three hundred acres at Riverton, New Jersey. He was a pioneer in introducing color printing to the trade in his bulb catalog in 1865." (Smithsonian Institution).
