HENEY A. DREER, 714 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Tuberous-Rooted Begonias. 



The strain of Tuberous-Rooted Begonias we offer is too well 

 known to require lengthy description ; suffice it to say that we 

 have used the same care this as in previous seasons. The bulbs 

 are of good size, well ripened, and first-class in ever}' respect, 

 and are certain to give satisfactory results. 



The price is as low as is consistent with good quality ; the 

 retail florist who is growing a few hundred bulbs for his spring 

 trade, to sell over the counter in bloom, will find many of the 

 cheap i?idifferent strains now offered dear at any price. We 

 offer but one quality, and that is the best.

BEGONIA, DUKE ZEPPELIN. 



NEW FRILLED BEGONIAS. 



Frilled Tnberons-Rooted Begonia. 



A most unique form, with very large single flowers which are 

 entirely distinct, the petals being wavy and beautifully frilled on 

 the edges similar to the newer forms of Petunias. Strong bulbs, 

 25 cents each ; §2.50 per dozen. 



Ne\r Hybrid Tnberons-Rooted 

 Begonias. 



Duke Zeppelin and Liafayette. 



During the past summer a bed, 8 feet wide by 100 feet long, 

 in a semi-shaded position in our nursery, planted with these two 

 varieties, was the brightest and most attractive border on our 

 grounds and a revelation to all visitors. Both varieties are of 

 strong vigorous growth, but dwarf in habit, never exceeding 8 

 to 10 inches in height and throw up numberless stems of full 

 double flowers from early in July until cut dovA-n by frost. A 

 continuous display of coloi which is simply dazzling in bright- 

 ness and which is not equalled in any other flower. 



Duke Zeppelin. Pure rich scarlet. Strong bulbs, 15 cents 

 each; $1.50 per dozen ; §12.00 per lOO. 



Lafayette. Brilliant crimson scarlet. Strong bulbs, 30 cents 

 each ; S3. 00 per dozen. 



The Lorraine Begonias. 



Gloire de Lorraine and Light Pink Lorraine. 



These beautiful Begonias are undoubtedly the best Winter 

 Flowering Pot Plants we possess, especially so for the 

 Holiday Season. The demand again this year has been Jar 

 in excess of the supplies, but we are now prepared to book orders 

 for July delivery at $2.00 per dozen ; $15.00 per 

 100; or $140.00 per 1000 in thrifty young plants which 

 will start off in a vigorous growth at once and which can readily 

 be grown into 6 or 7-inch pots for next winters use. 



There is absolutely no difficulty in growing this plant between 

 June and Februar}' ; no special skill is required and no special 

 facilities need be prepared. You will have no difficulty whatever 

 if you secure good thrifty young stock such as we are prepared to 

 supply in July, and you will find same a paying investment.
