AGAPANTHUS 



Umbellatus {Bhie Lily of the Nile). A splendid ornamen- 

 tal plant, bearing clusters of bright, blue flowers on 3 foot 

 long flower stalks and lasting a long time in bloom. A most 

 desirable plant for outdoor decoration, planted in large pots 

 or tubs on the lawn or piazza. 



— Albus. A white flowering variety. 



— Mooreanus. A smaller form than the type with dark-blue 

 flowers; produced very freely. 



50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



ALtOVSIA (Lemon Verbena) 



Citrlodora. The well-known popular pot or bedding plant, 

 grown for its richly fragrant foliage. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per 

 doz. 



A9IARYL,L,IS (Hippeastrum) 

 The Amaryllis is pre-eminently a window-garden plant for 

 the amateur, producing under the simplest conditions gorgeons 

 trumpet-shaped blooms. For full cultural directions, see our 

 book "Dreer's Hints on the Growing of Bulbs." Price, 25 

 cts. Copies free to customers who ask for it when ordering. 



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 recommend 

 that will give the amateur greater pleasure for his window 

 garden. They embody, with vigorous growth, free-flowering 

 habit and enormous size of the individual 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 combinations in stripes snd variegations. 

 Mixed varieties only in very strong bulbs. 75 cts. each; 

 $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. 



Formosissima. {Jncobcean Lily). Brilliant crimson, free 

 and early, 20 els. each; $2.00 per doz. 



Dkbkr's American Hybuid Amaryllis 



AMORPHOPHAI^I^IJS 



(Devil's Tongue, or Snake Palm) 

 Rivlerl. 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 tropi- 

 cal-looking leaves, supported by thick, beautifully marbled stems. 

 Large bulbs, 50 cts. each. 



ASPARAGUS 



Piumosus Nanus (Asparagus Fern). If there is a better plant 

 for table decoration than this we do not know it. The foliage is 

 more delicate than that of the finest Fern, being lace-like in its 

 filminess. A plant with half a dozen stalks is a mass of dainty, 

 misty green, among which the stems of a few flowers can be thrust 

 in such a manner as to make a pretty decoration for the table. 

 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $2.50 and $5.00 per doz. 



Sprengeri [Emerald Feather). Excellent for hanging-baskets, 

 for bracket use and for cutting. It is one of the best of all plants 

 for the window-box when planted on the outside, where it can 

 droop over the edge of the box. 25 cts. and 60 cts. each; $2.50 

 and $5.00 per doz, 



Scaudens Deflexus. A comparatively scarce variety, similar in 

 habit of growth to Sprengeri, but with finer, lighter green 

 foliage. May be used for the same purposes as Sprengeri, and 

 is particularly nice when grown as an individual specimen plant. 

 50 cts. each. 



DRHHR'S SUPERB 



I.ATE-BRANCHING ASTERS 



This is the finest type of China Aster for the amateur, being of 

 stong, robust habit, growing 2^ feet high and bearing their large 

 Chrysanthemum-like flowers from August to October. We can sup- 

 ply nice plants in May and June of the 8 distinct colors offered

 Large=fIowering Half=dwarf. Popular plants for bedding 



and for cutting. We can supply the six distinct and beautifiil 

 varieties offered and described on page 65. 15 cts. each; 

 $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100.
