Dreer's American-Grown 

 Narcissus or Daffodils 



Our Narcissus are all American-grown, planted and 

 cared for by expert labor under highly favorable con- 

 ditions, and produce bulbs equal to imported stock. 



There are no hardy bulbous plants which have more 

 points of merit than the Narcissus or Daffodils. Per- 

 fectly hardy, growing and doing well in almost any and 

 every position, sun or shade, moist or dry. All condi- 

 tions seem to suit them although they have a prefer- 

 ence for a good, deep soil and semi-shaded position 

 and every vacant corner in the garden, amongst the 

 grass, under the trees, etc., etc., could not be used to 

 better advantage than by filling with Naricssus, and 

 every hardy border should have a number of clumps inter- 

 spersed through it. They are equally suitable for pot culture 

 for winter flowering. Three or four bulbs can be put into a 

 5-inch or 6-inch pan or pot, and with the same treatment as 

 given to Hyacinths, the dull winter and early spring months 

 can be made bright with their exquisite gold and silver blos- 

 soms. But it is outdoors that Narcissus do best, and once 

 planted need little attention, the clumps as a rule multiplying 

 and giving larger and finer results each year.
