HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Dreer's Choice Narcissus or Daffodils 



Nabcissus Emperor 



Empress. This fitting companion to Emperor is also of strong, 

 robust growth, with fine large flowers; the perianth snow 

 white, trumpet rich yellow, serrated and flanged at the edges; 

 one of the best bicolors and of rare beauty for cutting. Extra 

 large bulbs, 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 



Giant Princeps. One of the most popular; perianth sulphur 

 white; trumpet rich yellow. As a forcing variety it is su- 

 perior in every way, and a fine sort for naturalizing. 7 cts. 

 each; 65 cts. per doz. ; $4.50 per 100. 



Qlory of Leiden^ This grand variety has been well and 

 deservedly named the "King of Daffodils," being one of 

 the most massive of the Giant Trumpet varieties. The large 

 trumpet is full, rich, yellow, perianth pale yellow with occa- 

 sional deeper yellow markings. Unlike many floral aristo- 

 crats it is of strong, vigorous habit and of the easiest culture, 

 being just as much at home when grown in pots indoors as it 

 is in the open ground. You cannot be considered to have a 

 good collection of Narcissus without Glory of Leiden. 10 cts. 

 each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 



Golden Spur, The most popular of the golden-yellow trum- 

 pets with cut flower growers, as it produces freely and early 

 its handsome rich, deep yellow flowers. It is just as valu- 

 able out of doors as for forcing. A strong, vigorous grower, 

 always doing well. Extra large bulbs, 7 cts. each; 75 cts. 

 per doz.; $5.50 per 100. 



King Alfred. This is considered the largest and finest deep 

 golden yellow Trumpet variety. A tall, strong grower, with 

 magnificent frilled trumpet and large perianth, all of a uniform 

 rich golden-yellow. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 

 per 100. 



There are no hardy bulbous plants which have more 

 points of merit than the Narcissus or Daffodils. Perfectly 

 hardy, growing and doing well in almost any -and every 

 position, sun or shade, moist or dry. All conditions seem 

 to suit them, although they have a preference for a good, 

 deep soil and a semi-shaded position, and every vacant 

 corner in the garden, amongst the grass, under the trees, . 

 etc., could not be used to better advantage than by filling 

 with Narcissus. 



GIANT TRUMPETS 



The Giant Trumpet sorts are the showiest of the genius, 

 and also the most useful, growing easily either indoors or 

 in the open ground. Every one of the varieties of this 

 type offered on this page are deserving of extensive plant- 

 ing, and you can set out any of them with full assurance 

 that you will get a bountiful harvest of blossoms in the 

 spring. 



Bicolor Victoria. A fine variety, perianth creamy- 

 white, trumpet rich yellow, delicately perfumed; un- 

 surpassed for pot culture and always satisfactory out 

 of doors. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz; $7.50 per 

 100.. 



Emperor. This grand variety, which is nicely illus- 

 trated, is one of the largest and finest Daffodils in culti- 

 vation, pure yellow, trumpet of immense size, and wide 

 overlapping, rich primrose perianth; for bedding, natu- 

 ralizing or for growing in pots in the house it is unequalled. 



Much in demand for cutting. Extra large bulbs, 10 cts. each; 



$1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 



Mme. de Graaff . A magnificent flower of almost pure white, 

 the perianth is snow white, the large trumpet is slightly tinted 

 with primrose, which changes to white, has been well named 

 "The Queen of Daffodils." 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; 

 $7.00 per 100. 



Olympia. This remarkably fine Daffodil might briefly be de- 

 scribed as a greatly improved Emperor, being much larger 

 in size and of a richer, deeper color. It is a wonderfully 

 strong grower, with fine broad blue-green foliage, and its 

 bold majestic yet artistic flowers are produced very freely. 

 This is one of the best Daffodils either for growing in pots 

 indoors or for outdoor cultivation. 25 cts. each; $2.25 per 

 doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Trumpet Major {Single Van Sion). A large and shapely 

 flower of a rich yellow color throughout. Comes into bloom 

 early, and is excellent for forcing, bedding or naturalizing. 

 6 cts. each; 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



Van Waveren's Giant. This is claimed to be the largest 

 of all Narcissus, which claim we fully indorse, having tried 

 it several times in conjunction with other Giant Trumpet 

 varieties, and it has always produced the largest flowers of 

 any. The huge blossoms are held erect on strong, stiff flower 

 stalks, perianth soft primrose-yellow with an immense bright 

 yellow trumpet. Strong, vigorous grower, and just as satis- 

 factory for growing in pots as it is for the garden. 25 cts. 

 each; $2.25 per doz.; $16.00 per 100.
