Azalea Indica 



Aspidistra 



Lurida. One of the easiest decorative plants to grow. A most 

 useful house plant, thriving in a hallway or a comparatively 

 dark place in the room where nothing else will succeed. 5-inch 

 pots, $2.00; 6-inch pots, $2.50 and 7-inch pots, $3.50 each. 



Lurida Variegata. The dark green leaves are striped with 

 white. 5-inch pots, $2.50 each; 6-inch pots, $3.50 each. 



Asparagus 



Plumosus Nanus (Asparagus Fern). There is no better plant 

 for table decoration than this. The foliage is more delicate 

 than that of the finest Fern, being lace-like in its filminess. A 

 plant with half a dozen stalks is a mass of dainty, misty green. 

 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $2.50 and $5.00 per doz. 



Sprengeri (Emerald Feather). Excellent for hanging-baskets, for 

 bracket use and for cutting. It is one of the best of all plants 

 for the window-box when planted near the edge where it can 

 droop over the side of the box. 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $2.50 

 and $5.00 per doz.

 garden, we offer 8 distinct varieties in nice bushy plants.

 mine and white suffusion.

showing a few red flakes. 

 Price. Bushy plants 8 to 10 inches in diameter, $1.50 each. 



Japanese Kurume Azaleas 



These are most valuable additions to our limited list of winter 



flowering plants. We offer six choice varieties. 



Cattleya. A delicately lilac-tinted white, shading to mauve 

 pink at edges. Semi-double. 



Christmas Cheer. This name was suggested by its brilliant 

 coloring, a real Christmas red, semi-double. 



Coral Bells. Not a very large flower but produced very pro- 

 fusely; a pleasing coral-pink color, very dainty, semi-double. 



Peach Blow. A shapely, single flower of a delicate salmon 

 peach blossom pink. 



Salmon Beauty. Large semi-double flowers of brilliant salmon- 

 rose with brighter markings. 



Snow. Pure white, a dainty double flower. 



Price. Any of the above in strong bushy plants, $1.50 each. 



Dreer's China Asters 



Superb Late Branching. The finest type of China Aster for 

 the amateur, of strong, robust habit, growing 2\ feet high and 

 bearing their large Chrysanthemum-like flowers from August to 

 October. We can supply nice plants in May and June in the 

 following distinct colors: Azure Blue, Deep Crimson, Deep 

 Purple, Rose Pink, Shell Pink, Pure White. $1.00 per doz.; 

 $8.00 per 100. 



Beloperone Guttata 



This singularly attractive novelty is a relative of the Justicias, 

 but is more slender and graceful in growth. The inflorescence of 

 Beloperone is composed of a series of overlapping bracts or floral 

 leaves, these bracts assuming a rich golden bronze tint when the 

 plant is exposed to full light, and the two-lipped white flowers are 

 produced successively between these bracts. The lower lip of the 

 flower has a tesselated marking of pale purple, while the upper 

 lip forms a hood over the dark stamens. 50 cts. each.
