18 DREER’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS. 
DOUBLE TUBEROSE. 
One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the summer- 
flowering bulbs, throwing up tall spikes of double white flowers two 
to three feet high, which remain in bloom a long period. Itis now 
an indispensable article in making up a bouquet or basket of flowers 
at any time during the year, as by skilful management a succession 
of flowers can be obtained. For early flowers they can be started 
in February or March, in the greenhouse or hotbed, and for a suc- 
cession they can be planted at intervals as late as July. For flower- 
ing in the open borders, they can be planted about the first of May ; 
they will then bloom in September. The bulbs we offer this season 
are very fine, and certain to flower. 
Ist size, 10 cents each ; $1 00 per dozen; $7 00 per hundred. 
2d size, 8 cents each; 80 cents per dozen ; $5 00 per hundred. 
SINGLE TUBEROSE 
Is also valuable as a bouquet flower, as it flowers earlier than the 
double, and on this account more suitable for northern latitudes. 
Price 10 cents each; $1 00 per dozen.

A new variety, with variegated leaves, striped with light yellow, 
very attractive. Price 50 cents each.

< RANUNCULUS. 
For symmetry of form and brilliancy of color, in almost all the varieties and hues which are 
recognized among flowers, the Ranunculus is probably 
unequalled by any other; for its culture, it requires a 
good depth of rich garden soil. The bulbs are rather 
tender, and should be planted out of doors in early 
spring; they bloom in June; also, can be grown in 
pots, and forced into early bloom in the greenhouse.
