Beautiful free-flowering deKciously sweet-scented flowers, 

 of the easiest culture; suitable for forcing in soil or prepared 

 fibre or for growing in water. They bear tall spikes of bloom 

 ■n-ith from 6 to 20 flowers each. 



These bulbs are imported from the South of France and 

 good quality stock is scarce this season and in consequence 

 much higher in price than usual. 

 Paper White Grandiflora. An improved large flowering 



form of the old Paper White, and without doubt the easiest 



of all bulbs to grow in the house, either in soil, prepared 



fibre or water; we ofier two sizes as under: 



Selected Bulbs. 7 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; 

 $45.00 per 1000.

Double-flo^vering 

 Narcissus or Daffodils 



No collection of Narcissus is complete without the double- 

 flowering sorts. WTiile not as attractive as many of the single 

 varieties, and lacking variety of coloring, they possess a charm 

 peculiarly their own. All are perfectly hardj- and are much in 

 demand for cutting. 



Alba Plena Odorata {Double Poet's Narcissus or Gardenia 

 Dajfodil). Double pure white; very sweet-scented. This 

 beautiful variety cannot be forced. It succeeds best planted 

 in rather hea\-y soil, in partial shade, and where it will not suffer 

 for lack of moisture. 50 cts. per doz.; S3. 75 per 100. 

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

 centre; a beautiful artistic blossom and easily forced. 8 cts. 

 each; 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 

 Sulphur or Silver Phoenix (Codlins and Cream). Creamy 

 white with pale sulphur centre. Considered the finest of the 

 double sorts. 8 cts. each; 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 

 Van Sion {Telemonlus Plejius). The famous old Dutch Daffodil; 

 flowers golden yellow. This variety is used in enormous quan- 

 tities for forcing; also excellent for bedding in conjunction with 

 Hj'acinths, flowering at the same time and presenting a beautiful 

 contrast when used with a blue variety. 



Extra Selected Double-nosed Bulbs. Each bulb will produce at 

 least two flowers, and frequently three or more. 10 cts. each; 

 Sl.OO per doz.; $6.50 per 100.

Single Varieties. A splendid mixture, containing a great 



manj- fime varieties, and sure to produce satisfactorj- returns. 



50 cts. per doz.; $3.25 per 100; $28.00 per 1000. 

 Double Varieties. A verj' good mixture containing some 



each of the various varieties. Excellent for planting for cutting.

Dreer's Giant Named Crocus

 varieties, and are remarkable for richness of color and size of their 

 flowers, and are the best to use for pot culture or where extra fine

 Named sorts offered above, but are quite satisfactorj- for planting 

 in the grass or for any position out of doors. In planting care 

 should be taken not to set the bulbs too deep; a covering of two 

 inches of soil is enough.
