. Dreer's garden calendar : 1881. Seeds Catalogs; Nursery stock Catalogs; Gardening Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. Dreer's Garden Calendar.—Supplement. NEW DOUBLE WHITE BOUVARDIA-ALFRED This novelty originated near Cincinnati, and is recommended as a gem of the first water, equal, if not superior, in profuse blooming quality and vig- orous healthy growth to the valuable single vari- ety, Davidsoni, of which this double white one is a sport. The flowers are rather larger than those of the single-flowering, and composed of three perfect rows of petals of the purest waxy white color, each floret resem- bling a miniature tube- rose. The trusses are large and perfect, freely and without interruption produced, even on the small side shoots, which generally make no flowers on the single one. It will not be long before this will become a stan- dard flower, indispensable in all fine cut flower work. A novelty which will make a sensation wher- ever seen. Plants will be ready after April 1st, at $ each; $ per doz. NEW CALADIUM. These have been selected from a large European collection and are the most distinct and beau- tiful of the later introductions. ALFRED MAME.
