Dreer' s Ganien Calendar. 145 



CINERARIA CANDIDISSIMA. A great improvement on the old 



" Dusty Miller," more compact, of fine silvery white foliage ; a fine 



ribbon plant. 20 cents. $2.00 per dozen. 

 CINERARIA MARITIMA, or " Dusty Miller." 20 cents. 

 GLAUCIUM CORNICULATUM. A recent introduction, with soft 



velvety silver-gray leaves, much in the style of C. Gymnocarpa; it is 



a first-class edging plant, enduring our climate better than any of this 



class. $1.50 per dozen. $8.00 per hundred. 

 GNAPHALIUM LANATUM VARIEGATUM. Foliage variegated, 



and not so rank a grower as Lanatum; very fine for vases, baskets, 



and ribbon beds. 20 cents. $2.00 per dozen. 



RIBBON BEDS. 



In view of the largely-increasing demand for plants of this class for 

 ribbon beds, groups, etc., we have prepared a list of those best suited to 

 our climate, as well as a plan for the arrangement with respect to their 

 several heights. Planting in this style admits of unlimited variety in 

 the form of the beds and contrasts of color. A less number of rows than 

 the number given below will suffice for small beds. Attention should 

 be given to the heights of those plants classified in the First Row, which 

 vary from 3 in. to 1 ft. Frequent attention is necessary throughout the 

 season, by pinching, trimming, and training, to obtain an uniform and 

 symmetrical appearance to the rows and the whole effect. 



The prices are given by the 100. When large lots are wanted, or a 

 special plan desired, estimates at special rates will be given.
