Dreer's Reliable Bulbs 



For 1922 



To succeed with bulbs It is necessary to begin right, by getting sound bulbs of good size, and we would 

 warn intending purchasers against buying cheap, undersized bulbs and expect the fine results obtained 

 from such as we offer. Our sources of supply are the best in this country and abroad, the leading growers 

 of the world having for years supplied us with their choicest stock. 



To the lover of flowers there is no class of plants so much prized as those which are produced from bulbs. The reason is easily 

 found, because within the bulbs are stored all the future glory of leaves and flowers, only requiring the simplest culture to develop 

 them in their highest perfection. Success is therefore the rule. 



Another reason why bulbs are prized so highly is that a large number of them produce their flowers in early spring, when the 

 rest of nature is asleep. Then it is that groups and beds and borders of Crocus, Narcissus, Tulips and Hyacinths impart to the 

 garden an air of warmth and cheer that cannot be accomplished in any other way, and keep up a continuous display well into the 

 summer. With no other material can be secured such a wealth of charming flowers of infinite variety of form and coloring, with 

 so little trouble. 



WHEN TO PLANT, — To the beginner we would emphasize the fact that Autumn and not Springtime is the time to plant 

 all kinds of spring-flowering bulbs. The larger part of the bulbs offered in this Catalogue are usually ready to ship before the 

 end of September, and the sooner they are planted after that the greater will be the measure of success, 

 more particularly those for indoor culture; therefore, ORDER EARLY. A few sorts, which are noted in the 

 Catalogue, do not mature until October and November, and are forwarded as soon as ready. 



Full cultural directions are given in our book, Dreer's Hints on the Growing of Bulbs.
