Dreer, Henry Augustus–(1818-1873)–Philadelphia, Pennsylvania–was born in Philadelphia on August 24, 1818. He was the son of a German immigrant cabinet maker and opened his seed and florist store, Henry A. Dreer, Inc., in 1838. 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 for 1865.
