DREER’S MID-SUMMER LIST. 
Begonia Countess Louise Erdody. 
The leaf, which has a metallic lustre, appears dark 
silvery in the centre, shading into coppery rose to- 
ward the margin, which is broadly and evenly edged 
with the same hue, but darker and more brilliant. 
The striking peculiarity, however, which distin- 
guishes it from all other Begonias, is that the two 
lobes at the base of the leaf do not grow side by side, 
but one of them winds in a spiral-like way until in 
a full-grown leaf there are four of these twists lying 
on the top of the leaf nearly two inches high. 25 
cents each. 
Fancy Leaved Caladiums.

been a special feature of our establishment. We

contains only first-class, distinct and well marked 
varieties, and is acknowledged to be the finest in the 
country. Their greatest value is for the decoration of 
conservatories, green-houses and window boxes, while 
nothing can surpass them as exhibition plants for 
fairs during the summer and fall. From our collec- 
tion we are able to supply 60 distinct and fine varie- 
ties. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz.

decorative plants are frequently exposed. We grow
