Narcissus Poeticus Oknatts. 



The Poet's Narcissus. 



(Narcissus Poeticus.) 



This is the old-fashioned favorite type, with white flowers, the cups mar- 

 gined with red and with rich, spicy odor. For indoor culture the King 

 Edward VII. and Ornatus is best. All do well in the open border, are 

 perfectly hardy, and once planted take care of themselves. 



If wanted by mail, add 5 cts. per doz. for postage on 

 Poet's Narcissus. 



Biflorus. Pure white perianth, with soft yellow crown, 2 to 3 flowers on 

 each stalk; late-flowering; very sweetly scented. 20 cts. per doz. ; $1.25 

 per 100; $9.00 per 1000. 



Burbidgei. Pure white flowers, cup edged with rich cinnabar-red; earliest 

 to bloom; much prized for cutting. 20 cts. per doz.; $1.25 per 100; 

 $9.00 per 1000. 



Poeticus (Pheasant's Eye, or Poet's Narcissus). Flowers snow-white, 

 with beautiful cup suffused with bright orange-red; blooms in May; very 

 fragrant. 15 cts. per doz.; 8.") cts. per 100; $7.00 per 1000. 



Poeticus OrnatUS. Until the introduction of King Edward VII., the 

 most perfect form of Poet's Narcissus. It is more symmetrical than the 

 old Poeticus, and blooms almost a month earlier; flowers large, pure 

 white, cup margined with scarlet and as fragrant as the type. 20 els. 

 per doz.; $1.00 per 100; $9.00 per 1000. 



Poeticus King Edward VII. (Almira). An improvement on Ornatus, 

 being a stronger grower, producing larger flowers of purest white, with 

 yellow cup margined with scarlet; very early. 5 cts. each; 40 cts. per 

 doz.; $2.75 per 100; $25.00 per 1000.

New Hardy Cluster= 



Flowered Daffodils. 



(Narcissus Poetaz.) 



These new hybrids are a cross between the Poeticus and Polyanthus 

 types, partaking largely of the former in the size and form of the individual 

 flowers, and also inherits the strong, free growth and hardiness of their 

 Poeticus parentage. In the manner of producing their flowers in clusters, 

 and in extreme free-flowering qualities, they possess all the merits of the 

 Polyanthus type. Make splendid beds or clumps in borders, and are easily 

 flowered in the house in winter. (See cut.) We offer three fine varieties: 



Alsace. Very early flowering, color pure white with yellow cup, faintly 

 edged red on opening. 6 cts. each; 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 



Elvira. Very free-flowering, producing a number of stems to a bulb, each 

 bearing 3 to 4 flowers; color clear white with yellow eye. 5 cts. each; 

 45 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100. 



Irene. Petals sulphur yellow, changing to lighter yellow, orange cup; 

 flowers of good size produced in clusters of 6 to 9 flowers each. 8 cts. 

 each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 



Dreer's Superb 



Darwin Tulips 



We illustrate these on the cover of this catalogue, and offer on page 13 

 eighteen of the choicest varieties; their giant flowers held aloft on long, 

 strong stems, are of exceptional value, either for garden decoration or for 

 cutting.
