Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) 



Dreer's Giant American Hybrid. There is nothing that will 

 give the amateur greater pleasure for the window garden than 

 these giant-flowering Amaryllis that are so easily managed. 

 The strain we offer is the finest that has ever been produced in 

 this country, strong bulbs throwing vigorous stems with from 

 four to six gigantic blooms of the most perfect form, ranging in 

 color from pure white grounds with varied markings of rose, 

 red and crimson to the richest self colors as scarlet, crimson, 

 bright red, cherry, and almost maroon. Cultural leaflet free on 

 request. Large strong bulbs ready after Oct. 15th in mixture 

 only. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Giant French or Poppy-flowered 



Anemones 



Charming spring flowers, and becoming better known and more 

 popular as a garden flower. They are suitable for pot or border 

 culture, and when planted in masses are most effective. They 

 succeed best in a light rich, well-drained loam. Plant in November, 

 and cover with leaves, straw or long manure on the approach of 

 winter. For pot culture, fill with any rich, porous compost, with 

 good drainage, planting 4 roots in a 5-inch pot; place in a cold 

 frame, or any moderately cool situation, giving very little water 

 until the plants appear; then remove to greenhouse or sitting room 

 window. Mixed, containing a wonderful range of colors, including 

 blue, rose, white, scarlet, etc. 80 cts. per doz.; $5.25 per 100. 



St. Brigid Anemones 



A celebrated Irish strain of semi-double flowering Poppy 

 Anemones, in a multitude of charming colors, ranging from pure 

 white to deepest maroon, including all 

 intermediate shades, such as rose, red, 

 pink, blue, etc., etc. They require the 

 same treatment as the Poppy Anemones 

 offered above. Mixed colors, $1.00 per 

 doz.; $6.50 per 100. 



St. Brigid Anemone 



Dreer's American Hybrid Amaryllis 



Calla Lilies 



(Arum Lilies or Lily of the Nile) 



White Calla* (Rickardia Aethiopica). The white 

 Calla, or Lily of the Nile, is a well-known plant 

 of easy culture, and in winter is one of our best 

 window plants. To aid profuse blooming keep 

 them dormant from the middle of June until the 

 last of August; repot as soon as received in good, 

 rich soil, using 6- to 8-inch pot; give water, light 

 and heat in abundance, and the result will be 

 most satisfactory.

Godfrey Everblooming White Calla. This 



is a great improvement over the ordinary White 



Calla, especially for the amateur, being of even 



freer growth and much more floriferous over a 



White Calla Lily longer season, the flowers, while a trifle smaller 



than the old-fashioned Calla, are of purer white and delicately scented. Strong flowering 



roots, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Golden Yellow Calla (Rickardia Elliottiana) . This is the best of the yellow Callas, its 

 flowers being as large as the popular white variety, but of a rich, lustrous golden yellow of 

 velvety texture; the foliage is dark green, with translucent creamy-white spots, which 

 adds much to its beauty. Strong bulbs, ready end of October, 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.
