DREER'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS. 



Bit TUBtpQSt, 



One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the summer- 

 flowering bulbs, throwing up tall spikes of double white flowers 2 to 

 3 feet high, which remain in bloom a long period. It is now an in- 

 dispensable article in making up a bouquet or basket of flowers at any 

 time during the year, as, by skilful management, a succession of flow- 

 ers can be obtained. For early flowers, they can be started in Febru-. 

 ary or March, in the green-house or hot-bed, and for a succession 

 they can be planted at intervals as late as July. For flowering in 

 the open borders, they can be planted about the 1st of May ; they will 

 then bloom in September. The bulbs we offer this season are very 

 fine, and certain to flower. 



1st size — 10 cents each; $1 per dozen ; $6 per hundred. 



2d size — 8 cents each; 80 cents per dozen; $5 per hundred. 



SINGLE TUBEROSE. 



Is also valuable as a bouquet-flower, as it flowers earlier than the 

 double, and on this account more suitable for northern latitudes,

A new variety, with variegated leaves, striped with light yellow, 

 very attractive. Price, 50 cents each.

A splendid half-hardy summer and autumn flowering plant, with stately flower scapes and 

 magnificent terminal dense spikes of rich orange-red flower-tubes. They may betaken up in the 

 fill and potted, and placed in a cool green-house, pit or cellar. Rooperii — early free blooming. 

 Uvaria Grandiflo^a — finest. Price, 25 cents to $1 each, according to size, for blooming plants. 



PAN Ufl CUIUS, 



For symmetry of form and brilliancy of color in almost 

 all the varieties and hues which are recognized among 

 flowers, the Ranunculus is probably unequalled by any 

 other ; for its culture, it requires a good depth of rich 

 garden soil. The bulbs are rather tender, and should be 

 planted out of doors in early spring; they bloom in June. 

 Also, can be grown in pots, and forced into early bloom 

 in the green-bouse.
