32 HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 
Dreer’s American-Grown 
Narcissus or Daffodils 
Our Narcissus are all American-grown, planted and 
cared for by expert labor under highly favorable con- 
ditions, and produce bulbs equal to imported stock. 
There are no hardy bulbous plants which have more 
points of merit than the Narcissus or Daffodils. Per- 
fectly hardy, growing and doing well in almost any and 
every position, sun or shade, moist or dry. All condi- 
tions seem to suit them although they have a preference 
for a good, deep soil and semi-shaded position and 
every vacant corner in the garden, amongst the grass, 
under the trees, etc., etc., could not be used to better 
advantage than by filling with Narcissus, and every 
hardy border should have a number of clumps interspersed 
through it. They are equally suitable for pot culture for 
winter flowering. Three or four bulbs can be put into a 5-inch 
or 6-inch pan or pot, and with the same treatment as given to 
Hyacinths, the dull winter and early spring months can be 
made bright with their exquisite gold and silver blossoms. 
But it is outdoors that Narcissus do best, and once planted 
need little attention, the clumps as a rule multiplying and 
giving larger and finer results each year.
