DREER'S SELECT LIST. 



Three Giant Torenias. 



6636 Violetta. This, the latest addition 

 to the Giant Torenias, is perhaps the 

 loveliest of all, the immense flowers 

 being of the purest white, tinted with 

 the most delicate shade of lavender- 

 blue, and having a violet- blue spot on 

 each of the three lower sections of the 

 flower, and should prove a valuable 

 companion to the other two varieties 

 offered below. Per pkt., 35 cts. 

 6684 Princess of Montenegro. We 

 have no hesitation in offering this as 

 the finest of all dark-colored Tore- 

 nias ; the plant forms a compact 

 bush, 6 inches high, which is com- 

 pletely covered from May until frost with mammoth flowers, 

 the lower and side petals of a deep velvety indigo-purple, the 

 upper petal deep lavender, the whole being relieved by a 

 golden-yellow blotch at the base of the lower petal ; for baskets, 

 vases, or for edges of borders or beds, it is unequaled. 

 Per pkt., 20 cts. 

 6685 The Bride. This novelty is similar to the above in every particular) 

 excepting the color of its flowers, the lower and side petals of which are 

 a delicate pink, the upper one pure white, and have the same golden-yellow blotch in 

 throat as the others. A dainty and pleasing variety. 25 cts. per pkt. 



One packet each of the 3 Giant Torenias, 75 cts. 



SINGLE SCARLET-FRINGED PETUNIA 

 " MIRANDA." 



6291 Introduced by one of the foremost European Petunia specialists. It belongs 

 to the large-flowering fringed section, and in color is a brilliant rosy-carmine, 



merging into scarlet in the throat — and 

 is believed to be the nearest approach 

 to a true scarlet Petunia yet obtained. 

 Worthy a trial. Per pkt. 25 cts. 



Sulphur Iceland Poppy. 



The Three Giant Torenias. 



PORTIXACA 



GRANDIFLORA 



COMPACTA. 



6401 A welcome addition to this pop- 

 ular annual, forming compact 

 plants not over a foot across, and 

 throwing out an abundance of 

 branches bearing not less than 

 5 or 6 flowers apiece. It begins 

 flowering early and continues 

 through the season. The seed 

 we offer is in mixture, varying in 

 all shades of color known amongst 

 the old varieties. On account of 

 its compact habit this should prove 

 a valuable plant for edging, etc. 

 Per pkt. 15 cts.; 2 pkts. for 

 25 cts. 



NEW 

 CRIMSON SALVIA. 



6496 This is a sport from that most brilliant of all bedding plants — Salvia 

 Splendens, or Scarlet Sage. It is of similar habit to that fine variety 

 "Bonfire," throwing its flower spikes well above the compact plants, and 

 differing only in color, which is a peculiar lustrous crimson, and while we 

 do not claim for it the brilliancy of its parent, yet it is so distinct that we 

 believe there is plenty of room' for it and recommend it for trial. Per pkt. 

 15 cts. ; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



DREER'S NOVELTY MIXTURE OF 

 CANNA SEED. 



5400 This is seed saved on our own grounds the past season, from the finest new 

 varieties only, including all the high class novelties, and may confidently be 

 expected to produce plants of high merit. Per pkt., 10 cts ; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 



DREER'S DOUBLE and SINGLE 

 FRINGED PETUNIAS. 



We have long been celebrated for our magnificent strains of both the single 

 and double varieties, which we endeavor to improve each year by careful selection 

 and hybridization. The past season we tested samples received from the leading 

 Petunia specialists of the world, and we can safely say without fear of contradic- 

 tion that our own strain is the best that can be procured from any source. 

 6280 Double Fringed Mixed. Per pkt. , 50 cts. 

 6290 Single Fringed Mixed. Per pkt., 25 cts. 



NEW 

 ICELAND POPPY, 

 PAPAVER 



NUDICAULE 

 SULPHUREUM. 



6383 A valuable addition to this pop- 

 ular hardy perennial Poppy, bear- 

 ing in the same lavish profusion 

 as the others, its bright sulphur- 

 yellow flowers. Per pkt., 15 cts. 



Salvia, Crimson.
