HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS

This is the old-fashioned favorite type; all have snowy white flowers, with 

 yellow or lemon cups margined more or less deeply with red and with rich, 

 spicy odor. All do well in the open border, or naturalized in grass, are per- 

 fectly hardy, and once planted take care of themselves.

 beautiful lemon-yellow cup edged with bright orange-red, Sl.OO per doz.; 

 $6.50 per 100; $60.00 per 1000.

 almost a month earlier; flowers large, pure white, cup margined with scarlet. 

 S1.25 per doz.; $8.50 per 100.

 snowy white perianth and large flat eye or cup, deeply rimmed with dark 

 scarlet, a free, strong grower. 25 cts. each; $2.25 per doz.; $16.00 per 100. 



Poeticus Horace. Snowy white petals with large cup or eye nearly all 

 deep scarlet, a very attractive variety. 25 cts. each; $2.25 per doz.; $16.00

Narcissus Poeticus Ornatus 



Double Narcissus 

 Upper flower — Primrose Phoenix 

 Lower flower — Sulphur Phoenix 



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. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per 

 doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



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

 beautiful artistic blossom and easUy forced. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; 

 $15.00 per lOQ. 



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; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Sulphur or Silver Phoenix (Codlins and Cream). Creamy 

 white with pale sulphur centre. One of the finest double sorts. 

 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Van Sion (Telamonius Plenus). The famous old Dutch Daffo- 

 dil; flowers golden yeUow. 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 

 beautiful contrast when used with a blue variety. Extra 



Selected Bulbs. Each bulb will produce at least two flowers. 15 cts. each; 



$1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
