DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 





LANTANA. 



One of the best summer flowering plants for our climate ; 

 equally fine in dry or wet weather, sun or shade. There 

 are few bedding plants that bloom more continuously or 

 afford a greater variety of color. When grown with a sin- 

 gle stem and trained* as standards, with fine bushy tops 

 and straight stem, besides being in bloom all summer, they 

 present on the lawu or piazza an effect that is not sur- 

 passed by any other plant.

LiLIUM AURATUM. 



(Golden Japan Lily.) 



This superb Lily has flowers 10 to 12 inches in diameter, 

 composed of 6 white petals, thickly studded with rich 

 chocolate crimson spots, and a bright golden band through 

 the centre of each petal ; exquisite vanilla-like perfume. 



As the bulbs acquire age and strength, the flowers 

 obtain their maximum size and number. Upwards of 

 12 flowers have been produced on a single stem. It is per- 

 fectly hardy in dry suils, and is excellent for pot culture. 



Strong Flowering Bulbs, 50 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz. 



Medium Flowering Bulbs, 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz. 



LILIES. 



Some of the varieties of this favorite flower are truly 

 magnificent. They are all hardy, and the bulbs can be 

 planted either in the spring or autumn; Candidum and 

 Longiflorum Japonicum should be planted in the au- 

 tumn, as they commence then to grow; a covering of 

 manure will be found beneficial for all the varieties, but 

 must be removed very early in spring to prevent too rapid 

 growth. The ground should be thoroughly drained. 



For pot culture we recommend the Candidums, Lanei- 

 foliums, Longiflorums and Auratum.

 davs when cut and placed in water. The foliage is slen- 

 der. It is a flower that will attract attention wherever
