Fancy-leaved Caladiums 



Achimenes 



A plant closely allied to the Gloxinia 

 and which will succeed best under similar 

 cultivation, see cultural notes on Glox- 

 inias in our book, "Dreer's Hints on the 

 Growing of Bulbs." Achimenes are sup- 

 plied in small corms or rhizomes and for 

 best effect three or more should be 

 planted in a pot. They continue in 

 flower for a period of from 8 to 10 weeks.

 Galatea. Large deep lavender. 

 Magnifica. Beautiful violet blue.

Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) 



Dreer's Giant American Hybrids. There is nothing that will 

 give the amateur greater pleasure for the window garden than 

 these giant-flowering Amaryllis that are so easily managed. The 

 strain we offer is the finest that has ever been produced in this 

 country, strong bulbs throwing vigorous stems with from four 

 to six gigantic blooms of the most perfect form, ranging in color 

 from pure white ground, with varied markings of rose, red and 

 crimson to the richest self colors as scarlet, crimson, bright red, 

 cherry, and almost maroon. Cultural leaflet free on request.

 isolated specimen in the mixed border in a warm sunny position 

 in rich soil. The flower resembles a gigantic black Calla and 

 appears before the leaves on stems rising from 2 to 3 feet high; 

 the flower is soon followed by interesting massive tropical- 

 looking foliage which is supported on thick prettily-marbled 

 stems. Strong bulbs, $1.25 each.
