Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 



NOTE— Our ofcrings of miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots continue rather meagre on account of their importation, for sale being prohibited 

 by the Federal Horticultural Board, and as there is at present no American sources of supply we have been obliged to drop them from our list. 

 The majority of the Bulbs and Roots offered in this Catalogue are usually ready for delivery before the end of September. A few sorts do not 

 mature until October or November. Unless otherwise instructed, we will send the early bulbs as soon as ready, and the late maturing sorts when 

 in good condition to ship. 



Amaryllis (Hlppeastrum) 



Dreer's American Hybrids. We believe this selection of 

 seedlings is the best obtainable at the present time, and we know 

 of nothing that will give the amateur greater pleasure for the 

 window garden. They are of vigorous growth, free-flowering 

 habit and enormous size of the individual flowers, a really 

 wonderful range of colors, varying from deep crimson to bright, 

 orange-scarlet; and from light rose to almost pure white, 

 many of them beautiful combinations in stripes and varie- 

 gations. We offer mixed varieties only, in very strong bulbs 

 (ready November 1st), 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 

 per 100. 



Giant French or Poppy -flowered 

 Anennones 



Charming spring flowers, and becoming better known and more 

 popular as a garden flower. They are suitable for pot or border 

 culture, and when planted in masses are most effective. They 

 succeed best in a light, rich, well-drained loam. Plant in Novem- 

 ber, or as soon as the ground can be worked in the Spring. If 

 planted in the Autumn they should be covered with leaves, straw 

 or long manure on the approach of winter. For pot culture, fill 

 with any rich, porous compost, with good drainage, planting 4 roots 

 in a 5-inch pot; place in a cold frame, or any moderately cool 

 situation, giving very little water until the plants appear; then 

 remove to greenhouse or sitting-room window. Mixed, containing 

 a wonderful range of colors, including blue, rose, white, scarlet, 

 etc. 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 



St. Brigid Anemones 



■ A celebrated Irish strain of semi-double flowering Poppy Ane- 

 mones, in a multitude of charming colors, ranging from pure white 

 to deepest maroon, including all intermediate shades, such as rose, 

 red, pink, blue, etc., etc. They require the same treatment as the 

 Poppy Anemones offered above. Mixed colors, 85 cts. per doz.; 

 $6.00 per 100.

 and delicately scented. Strong flowering roots,

 lucent creamy-white spots, which adds much to its 

 beauty. Strong bulbs, ready October 15th,
