DREER'S SELECT LARGE-FLOWERING

Sweet Williams were usually one of the features in the gardens of our grand- 

 mothers, and continue just as popular to-day, and with the improvements of recent 

 years in size and coloring they are worthy of all the favor bestowed upon them, and 

 should be in every garden. The colorings and variations are endless, including 

 crimson, scarlet, rose, pink, maroon and white in self-colors, and many variously 

 edged, eyed and variegated both in the single and double-flowering forms. We offer 

 the choicest single and double sorts in mixture. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 

 per 100.

 especially valuable for planting in the shade.

DICTAJE^JUS (Gas Plant. 



A very showy border perennial, forming a bush about 2h feet in height,

 giving off during hot weather a fragrant volatile oil, which ignites when a 

 match is applied to it. They require a heavy, strong soil and an open, 

 sunny position. It is not advisable to transplant often, as they improve with 

 age, it being one of the most permanent features of the hardy herbaceous 

 border. Instances are known where this plant has outlived father, son and 

 grandson in the same spot. 1'
