HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Double Narcissus 



Note. — No Narcissus bulbs may be imported for sale after 

 January, 1926. Secure your full requirements this season. 



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 

 Dajjodil). 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. 70 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; 

 S45.00 per 1000. 



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

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

 each; 80 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $55.00 per 1000. 



Sulphur or Silver Phoenix (Codlins and Cream). Creamy 

 white with pale sulphur centre. Considered the finest of the 

 double sorts. 8 cts. each; 80 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; 

 $55.00 per 1000. 



Van Sion (Tclamonius Plains). The famous old Dutch Daffodil; 

 Bowers golden yellow. This variety is used in enormous quanti- 

 ties for forcing; also excellent for bedding in conjunction with 

 Hyacinths, flowering at the same time and presenting a beauti- 

 ful 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; $1.00 per 

 doz.; $7.00 per 100; $65.00 per 1000.

Double Mixed Narcissus 



A very good mixture containing some each of the various varieties 

 Excellent for planting or for cutting. 60 els. per doz.; $4.00 per 100 

 $35.00 per 1000.

Jonquils 



Jonquils are a small flowering type of Narcissus, and are 

 prized for their graceful, golden, fragrant blossoms, and the 

 ease with which they may be grown. Half a dozen bulbs 

 can be put in a 5-inch pot, and with the same treatment as 

 recommended for Hyacinths (see page 29), a fine display can be had 

 from January to April. Liberal planting should be made outdoors. 

 A clump of 50 or more bulbs put here and there among the shrubbery, 

 or interspersed in the hardy border, or naturalized in the grass, give an 

 indescribably rich effect in the early spring, while a vase of the cut 

 blooms will fill a room with the rich, spicy odor. 



Single Sweet-scented (Narcissus Jonquilla). Rich buttery-yellow; not as large a 

 flower as the others, but most fragrant and very free-flowering. 50 cts. per doz.; 

 $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 



Campernelle (Narcissus Odorous). A grand variety, producing freely very sweetly 



scented yellow flowers; a strong grower, doing well in almost any position. 65 cts. 



per doz.; $4.50 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 

 Campernelle Rugulosus. The largest and finest of all Jonquils; a handsome 



flower; color pure yellow; very fragrant. 70 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $45.00 



per 1000. 



Odorous Plenus (Double Campernelle Jonquil). A charming variety bearing on tall 

 graceful stems, double yellow fragrant flowers of elegant form. 75 cts. per doz.; 

 $5.50 per 100; $50.00 per 1000.
