HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— FLOWER SEEDS

CAT^TERBURY BEI^I^S 



(Campanula Medium) 



The seeds may be sown any time during the early 



summer, in finely prepared rich soil. As soon as 



large enough to handle, the little plants should be 



transplanted to the places where they are to bloom 



the following summer. Some evergreen branches, 



or a little straw or coarse hay, thrown over them 



when the ground begins to freeze, makes all the 



winter covering these plants require. In the spring 



a little fine manure and some bone meal should be 



dug about each plant. 



Calycanthema {Gup and Smicer Canterbury Bells). This is un- 

 questionably the finest type of this old-fashioned and much-prized garden 

 plant. They differ from the ordinary type in having an extra large calyx, which 

 is of the same color as the flower, giving the appearance of a cup and saucer. 

 They are effective either in the garden or grown in pots for conservatory or table 

 decoration. We offer them in separate colors as well as in mixture, viz: 



1736 Rose Pink. Delicate rosy pink ^ 15

CINERARIA 



Beautiful flowering plants for the house or conservatory during the spring 

 months. 



Seed should be sown from May to September for succession. Where 

 only one sowing is made, July should be preferred. Cinerarias grow so 

 freely that the seedlings may go straight from the seed-pans to thumb-pots.. 

 After transplanting, place in a cold frame facing north, if possible. Whert 

 the pots become full of roots, shift into larger ones till the flowering size is. 

 reached. Our prize strain is justly celebrated for all good qualities, being 

 especially noted for size, coloring and texture.

 siderable life and brilliancy to a collection 50 



1966 Stellata ( iSter Cineraria). A charming variety, with large 

 spreading panicles of starry flowers in the same variety of colors 

 as the ordinary Cineraria; the extreme grace and elegance of the 

 plant and flowers make them wonderfully effective for the decora- 

 tion of the house and conservatory, and especially so for church 

 decoration; also useful for cutting 25
