Double=f lowering 

 Narcissus or Daffodils 



No collection of Narcissus is complete without the double- 

 flowering sorts. While not as attractive as many of the single 

 varieties, and lacking variety of coloring, they possess a charm 

 peculiarly their own. All are perfectly hardy and are much in 

 demand for cutting. 



Alba Plena Odorata {Double Poet's JVarcissus or Gar- 

 denia Daffodil). Double pure white; very sweet-scented. 

 This beautiful variety cannot be forced. It succeeds best 

 planted in rather heavy soil, in partial shade, and where it 

 will not suffer for lack of moisture. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.75 

 per 100. 



Orange Phcenix (Eggs and Bacon). Light citron with orange 

 centre; a beautiful artistic blossom and easily forced. 7 cts. 

 each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5. 25 per 100. 



Sulphur or Silver Phoenix (Codlins and Cream). Creamy 

 white with pale sulphur centre. Considered the finest of the 

 double sorts. 7 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5.25 per 100. 



Van Sion ( Telemonius Flenus). The famous old Dutch 

 Daffodil; flowers golden yellow. This variety is used in 

 enormous quantities for forcing; also excellent for bedding in 

 conjunction with Hyacinths, flowering at the same time and 

 presenting a beautiful contrast when used with a blue variety. 

 Extra Selected Double-nosed Bulbs. Each bulb will pro- 

 duce at least two flowers, and frequently three or more. 10 

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

 Selected Single-nosed Bulbs. Each bulb will produce at 

 least one fine flower, and often two. 7 cts. each; 70 cts. 

 per doz.; $5. 00 per 100. 



NARCISSUS IN MIXTURE 



Single Varieties. A splendid mixture, containing a great 

 many fine varieties, and sure to produce satisfactory returns. 

 50 cts. per doz.; $3.25 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



Double Varieties. A very good mixture containing some 

 each of the various varieties. Excellent for planting for 

 cutting. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; $32.00 per 1000. 



Narcissus Paper White Grandiflora 

 Grown in a bowl in water and pebbles 



Dreer's Giant Named Crocus 



These are large bulbs of the best of the newer hybrid and 

 standard varieties, and are remarkable for richness of color and 

 size of their flowers, and are the best to use for pot culture or 

 where extra fine results are wanted. 

 Caesar. One of the new Hybrids, with very large flowers of 



rich purple. 

 Kathleen Parlow. The finest pure white of the new hybrids, 



extra large cup-shaped flowers with orange anthers. 

 King of the Whites. The best pure white of the older sorts; 



very free- flowering. 

 Mammoth YellO>v. Golden yellow, very large bulbs, pro- 

 ducing a mass of flowers. 

 Pallas. A very showy new hybrid, flowers prettily striped 



lilac on a white ground; orange anthers. 

 Purpurea Grandiflora. The richest purple of the standard 



sorts; very effective. 

 Price. Any of the above, in selected bulbs, 35 cts. per doz.; 



$2.25 per 100; $20.00 per 1000. 



MIXED CROCUS 



The bulbs offered under this head are smaller than the Giant 

 Named sorts offered above, but are quite satisfactory for plant- 

 ing in the grass or for any position out of doors. In planting 

 care should be taken not to set the bulbs too deep; a covering 

 of two inches of soil is enough.
