Dreer's Reliable Bulbs 



'TPO SUCCEED with bulbs it is necessary to begin right, by getting sound bulbs of good size, and we would 

 -*■ warn intending purchasers against buying cheap, undersized bulbs and expect the fine results obtained 

 from such as we ofEer. Our sources of supply are the best in this country and abroad, the leading growers of the 

 world having for years supplied us with their choicest stock. 



WHEN TO PLANT. To the beginner we would emphasize the fact that Autumn and not Springtime is the time-to plant all 

 kinds of spring-flowering bulbs. The larger part of the bulbs offered in this Catalogue are usually ready to ship before the end of Sep- 

 tember, and the sooner they are planted after that the greater will be the measure of success, more particularly 

 those for indoor culture; therefore, ORDER EARLY. A few sorts, which are noted in the Catalogue, do not mature until 

 October and November, and are forwarded as soon as ready. 



Full cultural directions are given in our book. Dreer's Hints on the Growing of Bulbs, 

 or free to customers who ask for it when ordering.
