Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Nurseries (Horticulture) Catalogs. DREER'S MID-SUMMER LIST. It £iicliaris Amazonica. A splendid hot-house plant, blooming nearly the entire season. It sends up stalks bearing several pure white, star- shaped flowers, 4 inches across, delightfully fragrant. It is very highly prized in bouquets, baskets, etc. Pot in light rich soil, well drained ; water freely in the growing season, giving a slight rest in fall. 30 cts. to 50 cts. each. Lapageria. Most beautiful greenhouse climbers, bearing large pend- ant waxy flowers. Lapageria Rosea. Eich crimson. $ each. —Alba. Pure waxy white. $ each. Magnolia Fuscata. {BANANA SHJiUB.) A most desirable greenhouse shrub, succeeding admira- bly as a window plant. It produces its small flowers in the greatest profusion during late winter or early spring months. These are of the most exquisite fragrance, simi- lar to a ripe banana. 50 cts. New Durarf Justicia ; This New Dwarf Justicia, so highly praised by Mr. Louis de Vilmorin in the Revue Horticole, is really a much finer and dwarfer plant than our engraving, made from an imported specimen, suggests. Everyone knows the tall, lanky, straggling habit of the old Justicia Rosea. This NEW sort, which is now grown so extensively by Parisian florists, begins to bloom when the plant has only three or four leaves, and is never out of flower afterward. If pinched back occasionally, it makes a very dwarf, stocky plant, frequently covered with 20 to 50 large pink flower- heads, lasting a long time. The foliage is also more per- sistent and highly ornamental, being heavy in texture and very velvety. 30 cts. each ; $ per doz. Maranta. Valuable decorative stove plants, remarkable for the richness and beauty of their varied foliage. Makoyana. $ to $1.
