DREER'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS. 



DOUBiE TU8EB08E, 



One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the 

 summer-flowering bulbs, throwing up tall spikes of double white 

 flowers, two to three feet high, which remain in bloom a long 

 period. It is now an indispensable article in making up a bou- 

 quet or basket of flowers at any time during the year, as, by 

 skilful management, a succession of flowers can be obtained. 

 For early flowers, they can be started in February or March, in 

 the greenhouse 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. $5 per 100. 



2d size — 8 cents. 80 cents per dozen. $4 per 100. 



NEW DWARF "PEARL" TUBEROSE. 



The individual flowers are much larger than the common va- 

 riety ; desirable for pot culture and forcing, as a bouquet flower. 

 15 cents. $1.50 per dozen. $8 per 100. 



VARIEGATED-LEAVED TUBEROSE. 



A new variety, with variegated foliage, striped with light yel- 

 low; very attractive when planted in masses. Flowers single 

 and very fragrant. 20 cents. $2.00 per dozen. 



TfiJTWj^ OH, H£D-tt0T T®m% 



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 be taken up 

 in the fall and potted, and placed in a cool greenhouse, pit, or cellar. 



Uvaria Grandiflora. The finest variety. For blooming plants, from 25 cents to $1, 

 according to size. 



WNUff 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 tubers 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 greenhouse, if planted 

 in November or December.
