DREER'S RELIABLE BULBS 



FOR WINTER AND EARLY SPRING FLOWERING 



We offer on this and the following three pages a list of the more 

 important bulbs used for forcing into bloom during the late winter 

 and early spring months. Most of these bulbs are grown in Europe 

 and as conditions there are becoming more normal, we expect to 

 receive our supplies much earlier than in the last two or three 

 years, probably late in August or early September. 



Send in your order now and they will be forwarded as soon as 

 the bulbs reach us. 



The general line of Spring-flowering Bulbs such as Dutch Hy- 

 acinths, Narcissus, Tulips, Crocus, etc., are expected to reach us 

 about the middle of September. Our complete Catalogue of same 

 will be sent out as usual during the first days of September. 



EARLY WHITE FRENCH ROMAN 

 HYACINTHS 



A charming class of Hyacinths from the south of France, produc- 

 ing graceful, delicately perfumed spikes of pure white flowers. They 

 force readily in the house, and C9n be had in flower from November 

 till April. Three bulbs can be put in a 4-inch, or six bulbs in a 6- 

 inch pan or pot, and as each bulb produces several spikes, it makes 

 a beautiful plant for conservatory or house decoration. Their treat- 

 ment is identical with the Dutch Hyacinth, except that we do not 

 recommend them for outdoor planting. 



Selected Bulbs, 10 cts. each ; $1.00 per doz. ; $7.50 per 100. 



Extra Selected Bulbs, 12 cts. each ; $1.25 per doz. ; $8.50 per 100.
