DREER'S WHOLESALE PRICE LIST. 



Bougainvillea Glabra Sanderiana. 



A new variety of Bougainvillea and a plant that we feel certain will become very popular as a pot plant. We give 

 the introducer's description : ''It affords us great pleasure to offer this new and by far the most useful flowering plant 

 known. We have grown this new Bougainvillea in a green-house, where it has continued flowering for seven months, 

 small and large plants alike being covered with blossoms. Even plants in thumb-pots were laden with blooms. The 

 house in which our plants have been cultivated has been a sheet of flowers from May until December, and even up to 

 the first of the year the plants were carrying thousands of their brilliant blossoms. Many excellent judges state that 

 this will be a favorite market plant, as it produces as freely as a Fuchsia its dazzling rosy crimson flowers, lasting so long 

 in perfection, and produced in smallest pots, under all conditions, in amazing profusion. We can, with all confidence, 

 recommend this grand plant as a great acquisition." Strong 3 inch pots, 30 cents each. 



Camellia Japonice. 



We are offering this season the finest lot of Camellias we 

 have ever been able to present. The plants are in a re- 

 markably fine condition, clean, healthy and perfect in 

 every respect.

New Carnations for 1896. 



Delia Fox. A new variety of great merit, being on 

 the style of the popular Daybreak, but darker in color, with 

 stems 24 inches long ; one of the strongest growing and 

 freest flowering varieties in cultivation. 



Annie H. Lonsdale. This variety has the same 

 general characteristics as Delia Fox, but is of a pure white 

 color ; very fine. 



Jubilee. The red Carnation for which everybody has 

 been looking. Color intense scarlet of the richest shade. 

 One of the largest flowers among reds. Stems slender, hut 

 very stiff; averages 18 inches in height. Calyx very strong, 

 never bursts ; flower quite full and well built. A per- 

 sistent bloomer, and very free. Grass stiff and compact. 

 We have grown it three winters to our entire satisfaction, 

 and to the delight of cut flower dealers. It is a splendid 

 keeper and shipper, having taken First Premium over 

 all Reds at the Boston Carnation Show, February, 1895, 

 after traveling from Indiana. Certificate of the National 

 Society at Indianapolis, 1894. 



Triumph will not take rust, though surrounded by it. 

 Color is a pure pink of yellowish tinge, and never shows a 

 touch of purple ; one of the very largest blooms that we 

 know of ; stem perfectly erect and from 2 to 3 feet long. 

 Has a strong calyx that never bursts ; is very prolific, and 

 responds to very ordinary culture ; a strong, heavy grower ; 

 entirely free from disease ; a splendid keeper and traveler. 

 Blooms sent from Indiana were certificated at Boston by the 

 National Carnation Society, February, 1895. 



Armazindy. Color is pure white, very lightly pen- 

 ciled with scarlet ; can almost be used as a white ; the stem 

 is very stiff and quite slender, nearly 3 feet high The 

 flower is large and never bursts. This variety also is 

 entirely rust proof, and free from all other diseases. This 

 variety also traveled to Boston in March, 1895, and was 

 awarded certificate. 



Abundance. A unique pink Carnation. We do not 

 believe that any other Carnation extant will produce as 

 many blooms. It is continuous throughout the year, with 

 a profusion to each plant ; it is a dwarf, slender grower, stems 

 averaging about 12 inches. Color salmon pink, approach- 

 ing red. Perfectly clean and healthy, and with strong 

 calyx. We believe that this variety will become a necessity 

 to every Carnation grower. Well established plants in 2} 

 inch pots, $1.50 per doz., $12.00 per 100. 



Cyperus Papyrus. 



This is the true Egyptian Paper Plant. From the snow 

 white pith of its triangular stalks the first paper was made 

 They are 5 to 8 feet high, and support at the top a tuft of 

 long thread-like leaves, which gives the plant a graceful and 

 striking appearance. It grows finely in shallow water with 

 rich soil, and makes a splendid companion for flowering 

 aquatics. It will also flourish and make a fine clump in 

 the garden, with no more water than Cannas require to make 

 them do well. 15 to 25 cents each, $1.50 to $2.50 per doz.
