HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— DECORATIVE PLANTS 



45 



KENTIA BliLMdkEANA 



PANDANUS (Screw Pine) 



One of the finest decorative plants for the house; graceful foliage, broadly striped with cream- 

 white on a green ground. 4-inch pots, $1.00 each; 6-inch pots, $2.50 each. 



Dreer's Decorative Palms 



No collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their bold, majestic, 

 yet graceful foliage lends a grandeur and magnificence that cannot be ob- 

 tained by any other class of plants, and no decoration, whether in the con- 

 servatory, hall or sitting room, is complete without them. 



Areca Lutescens. One of the most graceful and beautiful Palms in 

 cultivation; the foliage is of a bright, glossy green; with yellow stems. 



3-inch pots, bushy plants, 12 to 15 inches high $0 50 each 



4-inch pots, bushy plants, 15 to 18 inche-; high 75 each 



5-inch pots, bushy plants, 18 to 24 inches high 1 50 each 



6-inch pots, bushy plants, 28 to 30 inches high 2 50 each 



Cocos Weddeliana. The most graceful and elegant of all Palms. Its slender, erect 

 stem is freely furnished with its gracefully arching leaves, of a rich green color; 

 admirable for fern dishes. 21 inch pots, 35 cts. each; 3-inch pots, 50 cts. each. 



Kentia Belmoreana. The Kentias are the hardiest Palms in cultivation. They 

 are of slow growth, and are less affected by the dust and dry atmosphere of the house 

 than any others. The variety here offered is of dwarf spreading habit, with fine rich 

 dark green foliage. 



Kentia Forsteriana. This splendid variety is very similar 



to K. Belmoreana, but of stronger growth, with broader heavier 



foliage. 



3-inch pots, 12 inches high $0 50 each 



4-inch pots, 15 inches high 75 each 



5-inch pots, 24 inches high 2 00 each 



6-inch pots, 30 inches high 3 00 each 



7-inch pots, 36 inches high 6 00 each 



Kentia Forsteriana {Made-up Plants). These are specimens 



made by planting several plants together; very useful decorative 



specimens.

4-inch pots, 15 inches high 75 each 



5-inch pots, 18 inches high 2 00 each 



6-inch pots, 24 inches high 3 00 each 



7-inch pots, 30 inches high 5 00 each 



7-inch pots, 36 inches high 7 50 each 



Phoenix Roebeleni. The most graceful of the Phoenix, and a 

 Palm which has become one of the most popular for room decora- 

 tion. The plant is of vigorous growth, and its gracefully recur- 

 ving leaves, with very narrow dark green pinnae , give it a 

 lightness and airiness not surpassed, if equalled, by Cocos 

 Weddeliana; at the same time it is as hardy as a Kenita, succeed- 

 ing admirably as a house plant. 



3-inch pots. Fine young plants .§0.50 each 



4-inch pots. Fine young plants 75 each 



AQUATIC PLANTS FOR AQUARIUMS 



It is doubtful if anything is more fascinating to the young as well as to the older members of the household, than to watch the devel- 

 opment of animal and plant life in the aquaria. Fish will not thrive unless enough plants are growing to furnish them with oxygen. 

 To do this there should be not less than one plant to every two gallons of water. The ideal temperature is about 50 degrees, and a 

 shady corner, or a window facing north, is best during the summer, and an east window during the winter.
