Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 



Iffote. — Our offerings of miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots are rather meager this season on account of their impor- 

 tation 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 Boots offered in this Cata- 

 logue are usually ready for delivery before the end of September. A few "orts do not mature until October or Novem- 

 ber. Unless otherwise instructed, we will send the early bulbs as soon as ready, and the late-maturing sorts when in 

 good condition to ship. 



AMARYL,L,IS (Hippeastrum) 

 The Amaryllis is pre-eminently a window garden plant for the 

 amateur, producing under the simplest conditions one, two or 

 even three spikes, two feet or more high, which are crowned with 

 from three to six large and gorgeous trumpet-shaped blooms, which 

 last long in good condition. For full cultural directions see our 

 new book, " Dreer's Hints on the Growing of Bulbs." Price, 

 25 cts. GDpies free to customers who ask for it when ordering. 



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 have been grown from seed produced 

 by crossing the finest named varieties. The resulting strain 

 embodies, with vigorous growth, free-flowering habit and enor- 

 mous 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 variegations. We offer mixed 

 varieties only, in very strong bulbs, 75 cts. each $7.50 per 

 doz.; $60.00 per 100. '

CALLA LILIES 



White Calla {Bichardia Mthiopica). The White Calla, 

 or Lily of the Nile, is a well-known plant of easy culture, 

 and in winter is one of our best window plants. To aid pro- 

 fuse blooming keep them dormant from the middle of June 

 until the last of August; repot in good, rich soil, using 6 to 

 8-inch pot; give water, light and heat in abundance, and the 

 result will be most satisfactory. 



Each. Per Doz. Per 100. 



Good flowering bulbs 25c $2 50 $18 00 



Extra large bulbs 35c. 3 50 25 00 



Golden Yellow (Bichardia Mliottiana). This is the best 

 of the yellow Callas, its flowers being as large as the popular 

 white variety, but of a rich, lustrous golden-yellow of velvety 

 texture; the foliage is dark green, with translucent creamy- 

 white spots, which adds much to its beauty. Strong bulbs, 

 35 cts. each; §3.50 per doz. 



FUNKIA (Plantain LHy ) 



The Plantain Lilies are easy plants to manage. Their broad 

 massive foliage makes them attractive subjects for the border 

 even when not in flower. 



Cceruiea. Blue flowers, broad green leaves. 

 ninor Alba. A pretty miniature variety, with rather large 

 white flowers. 



Lanceolata. Valuable by reason of its late flowering; lilac 

 flowers in September and October. 



Robusta elegans variegata. The most robust of all the 

 variegated-leaved varieties. 



Subcordata grandiflora. Pure white; lily-shaped flowers 



in August. 



Undulata media picta. Green and white variegated foli- 

 age; purple flowers, makes a fine edging.
