Dreer's Superb Narcissus or Daffodils 



Narcissus or Daffodils well deserve all the popularity they enjoy as they have more points of real merit 

 than any other hardy bulbs. The garden varieties are all hardy, able to withstand even very severe winter 

 weather and though they do best in a deep rich soil and in a semi-shaded position excellent results also are 

 had in lighter or heavier soils and where they are exposed to the full sun. Every hardy border and every 

 shrubbery planting should include them. They are superb in beds by themselves, or planted in clumps by the 

 dozen or more in the spring border. They also are suited for pot culture if they are given the same treatment as 



Hyacinths. 



Super-Giant Trumpet Narcissus

Herbert Smith. The picture above gives a good idea of the 

 splendid form of this magnificent Narcissus but it fails to ade- 

 quately convey the huge size of the blooms which measure 

 5 to 6 inches across. Surrounded by a light yellow perianth is a 

 beautiful long fluted yellow trumpet of graceful form. It is a 

 strong grower carrying its blooms on long, strong, and heavy 

 stems. One of the finest. Round double-nosed bulbs 3 for 40c; 

 12 for $1.50; 100 for $11.00. 



Harold Beale. A ver>' remarkable variety combining a well- 

 shaped light yellow perianth with a rich yellow trumpet. The 

 combination of colors is exquisite and charming and the flower 

 as a whole is a perfect picture of poise. We highly recommend 

 it as a very outstanding variety. Round double-nosed bulbs 

 3 for 40c; 12 for SI. SO; 100 for $11.00. 



The flowers of the Giant Trumpet varieties have trumpets 

 which measure as long or longer than the perianth segments. 

 The "Incomparabilis" have a cup or crown measuring from 

 one-third to nearly the length of the perianth segments, 

 whereas in the "Barri" the cup measures less than one-third 

 the perianth segments. The "Leedsi" varieties have cups of 

 various sizes with a white perianth. The cups are either 

 white, pale citron, or shaded salmon, pink, or apricot. 



These Super-Giant Trumpet varieties are quite distinct from 

 the Giant Trumpets which we have placed in a class by themselves 

 (see page 11). The Super-Giants have flowers which are truly of 

 huge size with trumpets which besides being very large are out- 

 standing, forming broad, flaring trumpets with attractively 

 undulated edges. Liice all Narcissus they are easy to grow and 

 the bulbs should be planted in the fall in a well-prepared soil at 

 a depth not less than 4 times the height of the bulb. They are 

 perfectly hardy and may remain for years in the same spot. Other 

 flowers may be grown right on top of them on account of the 

 bulb being located below the root system of our average annual 

 or perennial plants. You will find in our list all the very finest 

 varieties. 



Every year we receive many favorable expressions from our 

 customers telling us of the exceptionally fine results they have 

 from the high quality Narcissus bulbs which we are sending out. 

 The round double-nosed bulbs will be found to give excellent 

 results throwing two or more flower spikes per bulb. On some 

 varieties we offer extra double-nosed bulbs which are still larger and 

 unexcelled in every way. 



King Alfred. This truly wonderful Daffodil is considered the 

 best and finest deep golden yellow trumpet variety in existence. 

 It is a tall, strong grower carrying its huge well formed flowers 

 atop a strong stout stem. The entire flower is a uniform rich 

 golden yellow of great appeal. Has well shaped perianth petals 

 and a magnificently frilled trumpet that combines with the 

 perianth into a perfect flower. 



Round double-nosed bulbs: 3for40c; 12forS1.50; 100 for SU. 00. 

 Extra double-nosed bulbs: 3 for 55c; 12 for $2.00; 100 for $15.00.

Mrs. Erelage. What a glorious and exquisite flower with a 

 charm that attracts and holds the admiration of everyone. The 

 long-stemmed blooms are equally fine for garden display, for 

 cutting, and the variety may be forced gently. Has a pure 

 white perianth and a lovely creamy white trumpet with a grace- 

 fully curled brim which turns white as the flowers mature. 

 Round double-nosed bulbs 3 for S5c; 12 for S2.00; 100 for SIS.OO.
