DREER-S GARDEN CALENDAR. 



Japan Chrysanthemums, 



A new type, lately introduced from Japan, with tasselled or 

 •quilled flowers, of these we have rejected the most, as they are 

 too late for our climate; and have only retained the two fol- 

 lowing. Price, 25 cents each : 



LACINIATUS. Creamy- white tasselled ; fine for bouquets. 

 MONS. BONNETT. Flowers very large, amber ; early. 



DELPHINIUMS. 



{Hardy perennial Larkspur,) 



These are among the finest hardy herbaceous plants in cultiva- 

 tion, flowering in tall spikes of the most brilliant blue in various 

 shades. If not allowed to produce seed, they will flower from 

 July to November. Price, 25 cents each. 



DELPHINIUM FORMOSUM. Large, brieht-blue, white centre. 

 " MONS. NEUNER. Pale blue ; and more dwarf. 

 ^' CHINENSIS PUMILUM. Azure-blue; dwarf. 

 " BELLADONNA. (New.) Fine sky-blue. Price, 50 cts. 



PEIMULA AOAULIS OAKDIDISSIMA PLENA, 



Or Hardy Double White Primrose ; if protected out-doors, oi 

 wintered in a cold frame, they are real gems during the spring 

 months ; they require shade during the summer. Price, 30 cents 

 each ; 83.00 per dozen. 



DOUBLE VIOLETS. 



{Viola odorata.) 



All the varieties should have a slight protection of leaves 

 during the winter. A better plan to insure early spring flowering 

 is, to plant in cold fi-ames in the fall. They thrive best, during 

 the summer, in a shady situation, with a rich, deep soil. 



NEAPOLITAN. Light blue, large, and exquisitely fragrant ; still 

 the best varietv extant. Price, 20 cts. each ; 82.00 per doz. 



DOUBLE WHITE. Exquisitely fragrant. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 



SCHCENBRUN. Single, deep' blue ; very fragrant. Price, 20 cts. 

 caeh ; $2.00 per dozen. 



KINO OF VIOLETS. Large, double, dark-blue. Each, 50 cts. 



QUEEN OF VIOLETS. Large, double, white, shaded blue. 50 ets. 



NEW VIOLET, MAEIE LOUISE. 



Decidedly the finest of the Neapolitan varieties ; plant a vigo- 

 rous grower; flowers large, double, of a deep bluish violet, white 

 centre ; on strong erect stems ; free-bloomer, and deliciously 

 fragrant. A great acquisition for the cut-flower trade. 



Price, 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen.
