HENRY A. DREEE, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Azaleas for £aster. 



We are cam'ing in stock an immense quantity of Azaleas for 

 Easter forcing ; the plants are in good condition and finely set 

 with buds ; the varieties we offer are only the best commercial 

 sorts, but selection of same at this date must be left to us. 



Mme. Van der Cruysen is again scarce this season, but we 

 can still include up to 25 Jo of this variety in the 10 to 12 inch 

 and 12 to 14 inch sizes and up to 15 '^r in the larger sizes. 



As these plants can be more safely shipped when in bud we 

 wish to impress the importance of immediate orders. We will 

 not be responsible for injuries arising from late shipments when 

 the buds are developed.

TuberoTLs-B ooted Begonias. 



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

 known to require description ; suffice to say ihat we have used 

 the same care this as in previous seasons. The bulbs are of 

 good size, well ripened, and first-class in every respect, and are 

 certain to give satisfactorv results. 



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

 retail florist who is growing a few hundred bulbs forliis spring 

 trade, will find many of the cheap strains now offered dear at 

 any pricL. We offer but one quality, and that is the best.

FriUed Tnberons-R ooted Begoniu.

Ne-w Hybrid Tnberons Begonias. 



Sake Zeppelin and Lafayette. 



These are illustrated in colors on the back cover of our 

 Garden Book (retail catalogue) although no colored plate could 

 do justice to the brilliancy and richness of their coloring. Both 

 varieties are of strong vigorous growth, but dwarf in habit, 

 never exceeding 8 to 10 inches in height and throw up number- 

 less stems of full double flowers from early in July until cut 

 down by frost. A continuous display of color which is simply 

 dazzling in brightness 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 100. 



Lafayette. Brilliant crimson scarlet. Strong bulbs, 25 cents 

 each ; $2.50 per dozen ; $18.00 100.
