DREER'S MID-SUMMER LIST. 



BOUGAINVILLEA GLABRA SANDERIANA. 



A new variety of Bougainvillea and a plant that we feel certain will become very popular as a pot plant. 

 We give the introducer's description : ''It affords us great pleasure to offer this new and by far the most 



useful flowering plant known. 

 We have grown this new 

 Bougainvillea in a green- 

 house, where it has continued 

 flowering for seven months, 

 small and large plants alike 

 being covered with blossoms. 

 Even plants in thumb-pots 

 were laden with bloom. The 

 house in which our plants 

 have been cultivated has been 

 a sheet of flowers from May 

 until December, and at the 

 time of writing (December 30) 

 the plants are carrying 

 thousands of their brilliant blossoms. 

 Many excellent judges state that this will 

 be a favorite market plant, as it produces 

 as freely as a Fuchsia its dazzling rosy 

 crimson flowers, lasting so long in perfec- 

 tion, and produced in smallest pots, under all conditions, in 

 amazing profusion. We can with all confidence recommend this 

 grand plant as a great acquisition." 



Young plants, 50 cents each. 



Begonia Rex. 



We have a most beautiful collection of this justly popular pot 

 W plant in twelve very handsome varieties. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



Bougainvillea Sa>-deriaka. 



Begonia Thnrstonii. 



A distinct and pretty shrubby variety with thick heavy foliage, which 

 is of a rich metallic green above and bright red underneath ; the flowers 

 are of a fine pink, rising well above the foliage. 



As a bedding plant for a partially shaded position this variety is 

 unequalled. 15 cents each ; $1.50 per dozen. 



Begonia Conntess Louise Erdody. 



The leaf, which has a metallic lustre, appears dark silvery in the 

 centre, shading into coppery rose toward the margin, which is broadly 

 and evenly edged with the same hue, but darker and more brilliant. 

 The striking peculiarity, however, which distinguishes it from all other 

 Bconias, is that the two lobes at the base of the leaf do not grow side by 

 side but one of them winds in a spiral-like way until in a full-grown leaf 

 there are four of these twists lying on the top of the leaf nearly two 

 inches high. 25 cents each. 



Clerodendron Balfouri. 



A beautiful greenhouse climber and admirably 

 suited for house culture ; flowering most profusely 

 with bright scarlet flowers, enveloped in a creamy 

 •white calyx. 15 cents each. 



Camellia Japonica. 



Never before have we been able to supply such fine 

 bushy plants of Camellias as this season ; all the 

 plants are well formed, and will flower freely the 

 coming winter. 



We can supply twelve distinct sorts, varieties the 

 best of their respective colors, consisting of white and 

 the various shades of pink, red, rose, mottled, etc.
