Dreer's 

 Superior 



These mixtures are made up of in- 

 numerable giant-flowering sorts of ail 

 colors. The larger sizes will quite nat- 

 urally produce somewhat larger spikes 

 than the smaller ones, and the latter 

 should not be planted too late in the 

 season. There are few gardens where a 

 100 bulbs of these could not be used to 

 great advantage to add their stately 

 appearance and brilliant colors during 

 the summer and fall.
