Dreer's American Hybrids. In offering this selection of 

 seedlings we believe that they are the best obtainable at the 

 present time, and we know of nothing that we can recom- 

 mend that will give the amateur greater pleasure for his 

 window garden. They have been grown from seed which 

 has been produced by crossing the finest named varieties 

 obtained from the most noted specialists, the cream of their 

 collections, and the resulting strain embodies, with vigorous 

 growth, free-flowering habit and enormous size of the indi- 

 vidual flowers, a really wonderful range of colors, varying 

 from deep crimson to bright orange-scarlet, and from light 

 rose to almost pure white, many of them beautiful combina- 

 tions in stripes and variegations. Mixed varieties only in very 

 strong bulbs, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100.

AMORPHOPHALLUS. 



(Devil's Tongue, or Snake Palm.) 



Rivieri. Particularly handsome plant for growing either 

 in clumps or as a solitary specimen. Should be planted 

 in May in warm, sunny situation in extra rich soil; the 

 flowers appear before the leaves and rise to a height of 

 2 feet and resemble a gigantic black Calla. This is 

 soon followed by the massive tropical looking leaves, 

 supported by thick, beautifully marbled stems. Large 

 bulbs, 30 cts. each; $300 per doz. 



ANANAS (Pineapple). 



Sativus Variegatus ( Variegated Pineapple). This 

 is one of the most beautiful variegated foliage plants in 

 cultivation, not only for the greenhouse or conservatory, 

 but also as a plant for room decoration, for which pur- 

 pose it is equal to the variegated forms of Pandanus, 

 which it somewhat resembles in style of growth; the 

 leaves are from 2 to 3 feet long, with a central band of 

 bright green broadly margined with rich creamy- 

 yellow, tinged with red towards the closely serrated 

 edges. 4-inch pots, $1.00 each; 5-inch pots, $1.50 

 each.
