DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 



Myosotis Alpesteis "Viciobta.' 



MYOSOTIS ALPESTRIS. 



"Victoria." 



No. 6128. Of stout and bushy habit of growth, 

 bearing umbels of large bright azure blue flowers, 

 with central double blooms. The plant attains a 

 height of 5 to 7 inches, with a diameter of 8 to 10 

 inches, and when fully grown is quite globular in 

 shape and perfectly covered with flowers. Taking 

 into consideration the length of time which it re- 

 mains in bloom, the utility of this beautiful Forget- 

 me-not for carpet bedding, edgings, and masses, 

 and for growing in pots for market, as well as for 

 cutting, becomes at once apparent. 

 Per pkt., 25 cts. 



African Marigold. £1 Dorado. 



No. 6058. The flowers are from 3 to 4 inches in 

 diameter, perfectly imbricated and extremely double. 

 The colors run through all shades of yellow, from 

 very light primrose to the deepest orange. There 

 are at least four sections of coloring, viz : primrose, 

 lemon, gold and deep orange. The proportion of 

 double flowers is greater than in any other selection 

 we have seen. 



Per pkt, 10 cts. 



MAHIGOLD. 



Carters Gold Nugget. 



No. 6062. Remarkable for its dwarf dense 

 growth and immense double flowers, which are of a 

 peculiar shade of golden yellow, resembling Aus- 

 tralian gold . It blooms abundantly from June till 

 cut down by frost. 



Per pkt., 25 cts. 



Mignonette. Giant White Spiral. 



No. 6097. A pure white variety, exceedingly 

 fragrant, and bearing long spikes of bloom. The 

 habit of the plant is straggling, but its charming 

 fragrance well offsets this fault.
