DREER'S WHOLESALE PRICE LIST. 



Inprl Order's for 1 \ib\®$. 



We are now booking orders for fall delivery. Bayers who 

 use a quantity of this most popular Easter blooming plant, will 

 find it to their interest to place their orders for next season's 

 wants early, thereby securing the choice of the stock at lowest 

 cost for transportation, as the plants can be forwarded witli 

 perfect safety during October, by fast freight, even to the most 

 distant points. 



Our attention is frequently directed to other growers and 

 dealers offering Azaleas of the same diameter as herein quoted, 

 at much lower prices. We wish to say in reference to this stock, 

 that there is more than one way of measuring an Azalea, an<' 

 while a plant may measure 15 inches in diameter, it may be 

 really worth less than another plant that only measures 12 

 inches in diameter. Most of this stock is grown on quickly 

 without sufficient cutting back, the idea being to get a plant 

 so many inches in diameter. As a rule this stock is distributed 

 by some novice in the Azalea trade without personal inspection 

 of the stock, who has been lured on by the vivid descriptions 

 aud prospects of large profits as offered to him by the Belgian 

 growers. 



We would here say that we do not offer our stock in competition with this class of plant. We have been 

 handling Azaleas as a specialty for many years ; last year we distributed nearly 2.5,000 plants, almost without 

 a single complaint of any consequence. 



Our prices are as low as first-class, bushy, well budded stock can be supplied for. and we are certain that 

 they will give entire satisfaction. 



Our growers in Belgium are among the most successful men handling'Azaleas : they have been specialists 

 in this line for many years, and their principal stock is sent to us. 



All of our importations of Azaleas are sent here in bulk, and are all repacked at our own nurseries, so 

 that any plants that may not have carried well are set aside. This insures our customers of securing only 

 first class stock, which can not be compared with cheap assorted case lots which are made up in Belgium, and 

 are distributed on this side just as received, frequently not only containing damaged plants, but also, as a 

 rule, many varieties not at all suited to the American trade. 



The varieties we supply are only the most popular sorts suited to the American market. We give 

 personal attention to the selection of these stocks abroad, and can guarantee satisfaction. We offer well 

 budded plants with bushy crowns. 



Crowns, 10 to 12 inches in diameter, $35.00 per 100. Crowns, 12 to 15 inches in diameter, $65.00 per 100. 



Specimens, 18 to 20 inches in diameter, $30.00 per dozen.
