DREER'S WHOLESALE PRICE LIST. 



CANNAS.— Twelve Standard Varieties. 



The twelve fine varieties offered in the following collection we have grown in very large quantities. It consists 

 entirely of standard well tried sorts. We can recommend these for all purposes, especially for massing in large quanti- 

 ties. Our large stock enables us to offer them at a very low price. 



Alphonse Bouvier. This is, all points considered, 

 probably the grandest variety yet introduced. It is a 

 remarkably luxuriant grower, in rich ground attaining a 

 height of 6 to 7 feet. In color, it is of a rich, brilliant 

 crimson, almost approaching scarlet when it first opens, 

 changing to a deep, dazzling crimson as the flowers fully 

 develop. 75 cts. per doz. ; $5.00 per 100. 



Charles Henderson. A grand variety introduced three 

 years since, of a fine crimson color that has become very 

 popular. While it is not quite as rich in color as 

 Alphonse Bouvier, its habit of growth is much more com- 

 pact and uniform, rarely exceeding 3k feet in height, 

 which makes it a desirable companion to such varieties 

 as Florence Vaughan and Madame Crozy. 75 cts. per 

 doz.; $5.00 per 100.

 ing a height of 5 to 6 feet, producing very large salmon
