FR£ESIA 



This is one of the most beautiful of all Cape bulbs, possessing a 

 peculiar grace of form; and its fragrance is most delightful, one pot 

 of a dozen bulbs being sufiScient to perfume a whole house. As cut 

 flowers they are extremely valuable; the unexpanded blooms opening 

 in water, fill the air with the most delicate perfume, and their endur- 

 ance is really remarkable. They force very easily, and can be had 

 in flower in January, and continue in succession until June. For full 

 cultural directions, see our new book, " Hints on the Growing of 

 Bulbs." Price, 25 cts., or free to customers who ask for it when 

 ordering.

DREER'S inPERIAL 



JAPAXESB IRIS (Iris Kaempferi) 



The improved forms of this beautiful flower have placed them in 

 the same rank popularly as the Hardy Phloxes and Peonies. Coming 

 into flower about the middle of June, and continuing for five or six 

 weeks, they fill in a period when flowers of this attractive type are 

 particularly welcome. 



They succeed in almost any soil and position, but like rich soil and 

 plenty of water when they are forming their buds and developing 

 their flowers. 



Valuable as cut flowers, for which purpose they should be cut in the 

 bud state, permitting the blooms to expand after being placed in water.
