HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Double 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 Narcissus or Gardenia 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. 20 cts. each; SI. 75 per 

 doz.; $12.00 per 100. 



Orange Phoenix (Eggs and Bacon). Light citron with orange centre; a 

 beautiful artistic blossom and easily forced. 20 cts. each; S2.00 per doz.; 

 $15.00 per 100. 



Primrose Phoenix. A very beautiful Daffodil with large double rose- 

 shaped flowers of a lovely soft tone of lemon. Very free-flowering. 25 cts. 

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



Sulphur or Silver Phoenix {Codlins and Cream). Creamy white with pale 

 sulphur centre. One of the finest double sorts. 20cts.each; $1.75 per doz.; 

 $12.00 per 100. 



Van Sion (Telamonius Plenus). 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 beauti f ul contrast when used with a blue variety . 

 Extra Selected Double-nosed Bulbs. 25 cts. each; $2.25 per doz.; $16.00 

 per 100.
