DREER'S MID-SUMMER LIST. 



looses for poreing. 



The following is a select list of the most popular forcing Tarieties. "We wish to especially impress upon our patrons 

 the importance of early planting. Many, if not most, failures are caused through late planting ; a vigorous young plant 

 set early in the summer being by far preferable to a large plant set in the fall when the roots have not sufficient time to 

 establish themselves before the plants are expected to produce a crop of bloom. 



Papa Goiitier. Exceedingly free-flowering ; one of the 

 finest roses either for ont-of"door or for winter forcing. 

 Blooms large, of a dark carmine crimson. 



Perle des Jarclins. Beautiful large rich yellow. 



The Bride. A lovely pure white rose of the Mermet 

 type ; it is very full and double, free-flowering and ex- 

 cellent either for forcing or for summer planting. 



Tlie Bridesmaid. A most desirable sport from the 

 Catherine Jlermet, of a richer, darker color than its 

 parent, and a most desirable acquisition: Will undoubt- 

 edly become one of the most popular forcing Koses.

Marechal Niel Roses. 



We have a fine lot of extra strong plants of this choice 

 Eose with long canes, in 8 inch pots. $1.50 each. Strong 

 plants in 6 inch pots, 40 cents each. 



Rose, Gloire de Dijon. 



A full lot of two-year-old plants of this old favorite, 

 40 cents each. 



Parrot's Feather. 



(MYMIOPHrLLVM fIlOSEliPIXA.C01DES.) 



An aquatic hanging plant is a novelty indeed, and we 

 have it to perfection in this dainty little jewel. Its long 

 trailing stems are clothed with whorls of the most exquisite 

 foliage, as finely cut as the leaves cf the Cypress Vine, and 

 much more delicate. Planted in a water-tight hanging 

 basket, so water can be kept standing on the surface, it 

 will trail finely. 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per dozen. 



Passiflora Quadrangnlaris 

 Variegata. 



A pretty variegated variety having large foliage, which 

 is mottled with bright golden yellow spots and light colored, 

 almost white flowers. 15 cents each. 



Vitis Coignetiae (Crimson Glory Vine.) 



Considerable interest in this plant has been aroused in 

 England since it has become known that it is the same as a 

 vine which has been in the collection of Mr. Anthony 

 Waterer, at Knap Hill, many years, and which, while it 

 has delighted everyone who has seen it in its brilliant 

 autumn colors, has persistently refused to be propagated. 

 The Knap Hill plant is an enormous specimen, and clam- 

 bers over a building and an old tree-trunk, and the brilliant 

 red of its thousands of large leathery leaves in September 

 or October is worth going a long way to see. For autumu 

 coloring this vine is unique, its leaves changing to the most 

 glowing crimson. In it we get both beauty of form and 

 habit and superb leaf-coloring. A flue addition in the 

 way of a vine, 50 cents each. 



HARDY VINES. 



The following is a select list of the most desirable vari- 

 eties, suitable for covering arbors, verandas and walls, or 

 wherever a vine can be used. All are grown in pots so that 

 they may be planted at any time duiing the summer, thus 

 gaining one season's growth.

American Beauty. An excellent rose for forcing or 

 open air. The flowers are very double, of a deep crim- 

 son color, and very fragrant. 



Bon Sileue. Brilliant carmine rose ; a well known 

 favorite. 



Bridesmaid. This beautiful new Eose is a sport from 

 Catherine Mermet, possessing all the good qualities of 

 that popular variety, but surpassing it in color, being of 

 a darker, richer color, a deep rich pink. A most desirable 

 acquisition and invaluable for winter forcing. 



Catherine Mermet. Bright flesh color, full and beau- 

 tiful ; one of the most lovely of its color. 



Duchess of Albany. Resembles La France in general 

 appearance, but is larger in size, deeper in color, and of 

 more expanded form. 



Kaiserin Aug-usta Victoria. One of the most de- 

 sirable Roses of recent introduction. The flowers, which 

 are produced in the greatest profusion, are of large size, 

 of a creamy white color, shading deeper towards the 

 centre. It is a strong healthy grower, with fine foliage, 

 and will undoubtedly become popular both as a bedding 

 variety and tor forcing under glass. 



La France. Splendid satin rose, the sweetest of all 

 roses. 



Madame tie Watteville. Creamy white, each petal 

 bordered light rose like a tulip, a lovely color and shape. 



Mme. Caroline Testout. Another charming novelty 

 in a strong growing Hybrid Tea. The bloom is large and 

 double ; color bright .satiny pink, with rosy centre. 

 Odorous and quite free flowering. Petals very large and 

 heavy, and beautifully rounded. A first-rate variety for 

 forcing, of the La France type. 



Meteor. A rich, dark velvety-crim.son Hybrid Tea : a 

 free bloomer and vigorous grower, showing no tendency 

 to mildew. Does not run single during sumnier, and as 

 a garden rose it will prove invaluable. We cannot 

 recommend it as a good Ibrcing variety.
