DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR—Supplement. 



NEW SCARLET CARNATION METEOR. 



Rich, clear scarlet, large and double ; a strong and vigorous grower. Three seasons' trial have proved this to 

 be the best scarlet Carnation yet introduced, and cannot be too highly recommended to the florist for forcing ot 

 the amateur for winter cut blooms. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



NEW FANCY CARNATIONS. 



Black Knight. Rich, dark crimson; a decided improvement on the well-known Crimson King. 



Beatrice, This is a pure white-fringed variety of very dwarf growth and very large flowers. 



Cymbeline. Rich, bright orange-ground, flaked with very bright scarlet. 



Fairy Princess. Very large flowers, pure white, pencilled with fine lines of rich purple crimson. 



Imogen. A lovely variety, pale straw-ground color, flaked, margined and dotted with bright carmine. 



Juliet. Ground-color white, flaked and lined with pink and maroon. 



Miranda. Richest plum-crimson, finely shaped and remarkably free-flowering. 



Mrs. W. A. Harris. A very large and finely-shaped variety of a pure white color, marbled with rich, rosy pink. 



Mrs. F. Mangold. Pure, soft salmon ; distinct and handsome. 



Petunia. This so much resembles a double Petunia as to be most appropriately named ; color rich lavender rose, 



mottled with white and deeply fringed. 

 Portia. The most intensely bright scarlet ; a fine variety. 

 Rosalind. A lovely shade of pink, very large and free ; a fine grower. 



50 cts. each ; set of twelve varieties, 5500. 



NEW CANNAS. 



Ehemanni. The most distinct of all Cannas on account of its large oval Musa-Ensete-like soft green leaves, 



which place it foremost among decorative foliage 

 plants. Its most striking feature is the carmine- 

 red flowers produced on flower stems of great 

 length that unfold about twelve flowers to each 

 of the smaller branches. The flowers are as large 

 as a Gladiolus, and are used to great advantage 

 in bouquet making. This is one of the most 

 striking and desirable Cannas ever introduced, 

 and cannot be too highly recommended. 50 cts. 



Nouttoni. Similar to the above in habit and 

 growth, but the flowers, which are not quite as 

 large, are of a rich, deep rosy-crimson color,

THE TWELVE EXHIBITION CALADIUMS. 



This set consists of the most distinct and handsomely marked varieties. At the autumnal exhibition of the Penn- ' 

 sylvania Horticultural Society this set was awarded the First Premium in competition with collections that 

 have carried the laurels for the past score of years. The Ladies' Floral Cabinet of October, 1883, says : " Henry 

 A. Dreer was a prominent exhibitor ; his set of twelve fancy Caladiums, all new varieties, were said to be, by those 

 competent to judge of their merits, superior to any ever exhibited either in this country or Europe. The leaves of 

 some of the plants were eighteen inches long and fourteen in width, while their markings were simply superb." 



Good strong plants ready April ist. 75 cts. each ; or the set of twelve for $7.50. 



Extra strong bulbs from two to three and a half inches in diameter, according to variety, ready May ist. ^2.00 

 each; or the set of twelve, ^18.00.
