HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Dreer's Choice Narcissus or Daffodils 



Narcissus Emperor 



Empress. This fitting companion to Emperor is also of strong, 

 robust growtli, with fine large flowers; the perianth snow white, 

 trumpet rich yellow, serrated and flanged at the edges; one of the 

 best bicolors and of rare beauty for cutting. Extra large bulbs, 

 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 



Giant Princeps. One of the most popular; perianth sulphur 

 white; trumpet rich yellow. As a forcing variety it is superior 

 in every way, and a fine sort for naturalizing. 7 cts. each; 65 

 cts. per doz.; $4.50 per 100. 



Glory of Leiden. This grand variety has been well and deser- 

 vedly named the "King of Daffodils," being one of the most 

 massive of the Giant Trumpet varieties. The large trumpet is 

 full, rich, yellow, perianth pale yellow with occasional deeper 

 yellow markings. Unhke many floral aristocrats it is of strong, 

 vigorous habit and of the easiest culture, being just as much at 

 home when grown in pots indoors as it is in the open ground. 

 You cannot be considered to have a good collection of Narcissus 

 without Glory, of Leiden. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $6.50 

 per 100. 



Golden Spur. The most popular of the golden-yellow trumpets 

 with cut flower growers, as it produces freely and early its hand- 

 some rich, deep yellow flowers. It is just as valuable out of doors 

 as for forcing. A strong, vigorous grower, always doing well. 

 Extra large bulbs, 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 



King Alfred. This is considered the largest and finest deep 

 golden yellow Trumpet variety. A tall, strong grower, with 

 magnificent frilled trumpet and large perianth, aU of a uniform 

 rich golden-yellow. IS cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



There are no hardy bulbous plants which have more points 

 of merit than the Narcissus or Daffodils. Perfectly hardy, 

 growing and doing well in almost any and every position 

 sun or shade, moist or dry. All conditions seem to suit them, 

 although they have a preference for a good, deep soil and a 

 semi-shaded position, and every vacant corner in fhe garden 

 amongst the grass ' under the trees, etc., could not be used to 

 better advantage than by filling with Narcissus. 



GIANT TRUMPETS 



The Giant Trumpet sorts are the showiest of the genius, 

 and also the most useful, growing easily either indoors or in 

 the open ground. Every one of the varieties of this tj'pe 

 offered on this page are deserving of extensive planting, and 

 you can set out any of them with full assurance that you will 

 get a bountiful harvest of blossoms in the spring. 

 Bicolor Victoria. A fine variety, perianth creamy-white, 

 trumpet rich yellow, delicately perfumed; unsurpassed for 

 pot culture and always satisfactory out of doors. 10 cts. 

 each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 

 Emperor. This grand variety, which is nicely illustrated, 

 is one of the largest and finest Daffodils in cultivation, 

 pure yellow, trumpet of immense size, and wide overlapping, 

 rich primrose perianth; for bedding, naturalizing or for 

 growing in pots in the house it is unequalled. Much in 

 demand for cutting. Extra large bulbs, 10 cts. each; $1.00 per 

 doz.; $7.00 per 100. 

 Mme. de Graaff. A magnificent flower of almost pure wliite,

 with primrose, which changes to white, has been well named 

 "The Queen of Daffodils." 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $6.50 



per 100. 



Olympia. Tliis remarkably fine Daffodil might briefly be de- 

 scribed as a greatly improved Emperor, being much larger in 

 size and of a richer, deeper color. It is a wonderfully strong 

 grower, with fine broad blue-green foliage, and its bold majestic 

 yet artistic flowers are produced very freely. This is one of the 

 best Daffodils either for growing in pots indoors or for outdoor 

 cultivation. 25 cts. each; $2.25 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Trumpet Major {Single Van Sion). A large and shapely flower 

 of a rich yellow color throughout. Comes into bloom early, 

 and is excellent for forcing, bedding or naturalizing. 7 cts. each; 

 65 cts. per -doz.; $4.50 per 100. 



Van Waveren's Giant. This is claimed to be the largest of 

 all Narcissus, which claim' we fuUy indorse, having tried it several 

 times in conjunction with other Giant Trumpet varieties, and 

 has always produced the largest flowers of any. The huge 

 blossoms are held erect on strong, stiff flower stalks, perianth 

 soft primrose-yellow with an immense bright yellow trimipet. 

 Strong, vigorous grower, and just as satisfactory for growing 

 in pots as it is for the garden. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; 

 $16.00 per 100.
