DREER'S MID-SUMMER LIST.

SOLANUM W'ENDLANDI (MAGNIFICUM). 



Solannm Wendlandi 

 (Magnificnm.) 



A rare and beautiful species of 

 climbing habit, beginning to 

 flower early in July and continu- 

 ing in full bloom until cut down 

 by severe frost. This was one 

 of the most highly admired plants 

 in our trial grounds the past 

 summer, attracting attention at 

 once on account of the large size 

 of its flowers, which are over two 

 inches in diameter, and are pro- 

 duced in large clusters, frequently 

 over one hundred flowers bein^i on 

 one truss. Color, a mauve blue 

 of a distinct and pleasing shade. 

 25 cents each. 



Rhyncospermum 



Jasminoides. 



A beautiful greenhouse plant, 

 with very glossy evergreen foli- 

 age, producing masses of pure 

 white Jasmine-like flowers, de- 

 lightfully fragrant ; in bloom 

 about May and June. It is of a 

 climbing habit, and presents a 

 beautiful appearance when pro- 

 perly trained. The flowers are 

 very desirable for bouquets, etc. 

 50 cents each. 



Schubertia 



Grandiflora. 



An exceedingly pretty climber, 

 which succeeds admirably in the 

 open ground during the summer 

 months, producing the entire 

 summer, until cut down by 

 severe frost, clusters of large 

 funnel-shaped, fleshy- white flow- 

 ers of delightful fragrance, not 

 unlike Stephanotis Floribunda in 

 appearance. 75 cents each. 



Sanseviera Zealanica. 



An elegant variegated plant, especially adapted 

 for house decoration, the thick leathery leaves stand- 

 ing the heat and dust of the house with impunity. 

 30 cts. each ; 4 for §1.00. 



Smilax. 



(51TRS1PHYLL11 ASPARAG01DES.) 

 i A climbing plant, unsurpassed in the graceful 

 beauty of its foliage ; its peculiar wavy formation 

 renders it one of the most valuable plants for bou- 

 quets, wreaths, festoons and decorations. Can be 

 easily grown in the house. 15 cts. each ; §1.00 per 

 dozen ; §5.00 per 100. 



Swaiusonia Galegifolia Alba. 



A most desirable overblooming plant, with pure 

 white flowers, produced in sprays of from 12 to 20 

 flowers each, the individual blooms resembling a 

 Sweet Pea. As a decorative plant for the window or 

 conservatory we know of nothing that will give as 

 much satisfaction as the Swainsonia. Its easy culture, 

 growing in almost any light position, its freedom of 

 bloom, and the grace and beauty of the flower and 

 plant, will undoubtedly make it popular. 15 cts. 

 each ; 8 for $1.00.

 in bloom, and the foliage is ornamental even without bloon:' March 8, 1895. H. F. REICH, Rockville, Md.
