HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— DECORATIVE PLANTS 



DREER'S DECORATIVE PALMS 



No collection of plants is complete without Pahns. Their bold, majestic, yet graceful foliage lends a 

 grandeur and magnificence that cannot be obtained by any other class of plants, 

 and no decoration whether in the conservatory, hall or sitting room, 

 is complete without them.

 cultivation; the foliage is of a bright, glossj' green, with yeUow stems.

6-inch pots, bushy plants, 24 to 30 inches high 2 50 each 



Cocos Weddeliana. The most graceful and elegant of all Palms. Its slender 

 erect stem is freely furnished with its gracefullj' arching rich green leaves.

 35 cts. each; 3-inch pots, 12 inches high, 50 cts. each. 



Kentia Belmoreana. The Kentias are the hardiest Paints in cultivation.

Phoenix Roebeleni. The most graceful of the Phoenix, and a 

 Palm which has become one of the most popular for room decora- 

 tion. The plant is of vigorous growth, and its gracefuUj', re- 

 curving leaves, with verj' narrow dark green pinnae give it a 

 lightness and airiness not surpassed, if equalled, by Cocos 

 Weddeliana; at the same time it is as hardy as a Kentia, suc- 

 ceeding admirably as a house plant. Each

AQUATIC PLANTS FOR AQUARIUMS 



It is doubtful if anything is more fascinating to the young as well as to the older members of the household, than to watch the 

 development of animal and plant life in the aquaria. Fish wUl not thrive unless enough plants are growing to furnish them with oxygen. 

 To do this there should be not less than one plant to every two gallons of water. The ideal temperatmre is about 50 degrees, and a shady 

 corner, or a window facing north, is best during the summer, and an east window during the winter. (Cultural Leaflet on request.) 



Anacharis Canadensis Gigantea (Giant 

 Water Weed). A beautiful submerged plant with 

 dark green ovate leaves and light stems. 



Cabomba Viridifolia (Washington Grass). A 

 pretty and popular submerged plant. 



Ludwigia Mulertti. One of the prettiest of the 

 submerged plants. The small ovate leaves are 

 green above and pink on the under side. 



Sagittaria Natans. Long strap-like green leaves 

 resemble the well-known Vallisneria. 



Sagittaria Sinensis (Giant Sagittaria). Leaves 

 dark green; broader than 5. Natans. 



Vallisneria Spiralis Italian Type (Eel 

 Grass). A submerged plant with long ribbon- 

 like leaves. 



Price. Any of the above 25 cts. each; §2.50 per doz. 



Collection of one each of the 6 sorts for §1.25.
