HENRY A, DREER, PHILADELPHIA— GARDEN AND HOUSE PLANTS 



PALMS 



FOR HOME ADORNMENT 



No collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their 

 bold, majestic, yet graceful foliage lends a grandeur and 

 magnificence that cannot be obtained by any other class 

 of plants, and no decoration, whether in the conservatory, 

 hall or sitting-room, is complete without them. 



Areca Lutescens. One of the most graceful and beauti- 

 ful Palms in cultivation ; the foliage is of a bright, 

 glossy green, with yellow stems. 

 3-inch pots, bushy plants, 12 to 15 inches high . . $ 50 each.

COCOS Weddeliana. The most graceful and elegant of 

 all Palms. Its slender, erect stem is freely furnished 

 with its gracefully arching leaves, of a rich green color. 

 The smaller sizes are admirable for fern dishes, while 

 the larger sizes are beautiful subjects for home adorn- 

 ment. 



Young plants in 2J4-inch pots, 35 cts. each. 



Kentia Belmoreana. The Kentias are the hardiest 

 Palms in cultivation. They are of slow growth, and 

 are less affected by the dust and dry atmosphere of the 

 house than any others. The variety here offered is of 

 dwarf, spreading habit, with fine rich dark-green 

 foliage. 

 3-inch pots, 12 inches high ; $ 50 each.

 to K. Belmoreana, but of stronger growth, with broader, 

 heavier foliage.

Phcenix Roebeleni 



Made-up Plant of Kentia Forsteriana

 useful decorative specimens.

Phoenix Roebeleni. The most graceful of the Phoenix, 

 and a Palm which has become one of the most popular 

 for room decoration. The plant is of vigorous growth, 

 and its gracefully, recurving leaves, with very narrow 

 dark green pinnae give it a lightness and airiness not 

 surpassed, if equalled, by Cocos Weddeliana ; at the 

 same time it is as hardy as a Kentia, succeeding ad- 

 mirably as a house plant. 



5-inch pots, 15 in. high, nicely characterized. $2 00 each. 



Specimens in 6 in. pots, 1^4 ft. high 3 GO " 



7" tubs, 2 " 5 00 " 



STEPHANOTIS 



Floribunda. One of the most charming hothouse climb- 

 ers, growing rapidly, with long, glossy, deep green 

 foliage, and producing clusters of pure white, deliciously 

 fragrant flowers. $1.50 each. 



VITEX 



Macrophylla. A variety of the Chaste Tree that came to 

 us from a grower in Italy, and with which we are 

 greatly pleased. The general habit of the plant is similar 

 to V. Agnus Castus, but much stronger in all its parts, 

 the foliage being larger and heavier while the trusses 

 of lavender-blue flowers are fully double the size. It 

 blooms from July to September, and we believe is 

 destined to become as popular as the Butterfly Shrub. 

 Strong young pot-grown plants, 50 cts. each.
