HENRY A, DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Narcissus Barrii Conspicuus 



Leedsii Mrs. Langtry. A dainty free-flowering sort, with 

 pure white perianth and delicate primrose cup, passing off 

 to white; charming for pots and largely used for naturalizing. 

 6 cts. each; 60 cts. pes doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



Leedsii White Lady. An exquisite flower with broad pure white overlapping 

 petals and dainty cup, prettily crinkled, of a beautiful pale canary yellow shade; 

 very free bloomer and of great value for cutting. 6 cts. each; 65 cts. per doz. ; 

 $4.50 per 100. 



The Poet's Narcissus 



(Narcissus Poeticus) 



This is the old-fashioned favorite type; all have snowy white flowers, with yellow 

 or lemon cups margined more or less deeply with red and with rich, spicy odor. All 

 do well in the open border, or naturalized in grass, are perfectly hardy, and once 

 planted take care of themselves. 



Poeticus {Pheasant's Eye or Poet's Narcissus). Flowers snow-white, with 

 beautiful lemon-yellow cup edged with bright orange-red; blooms in May; very 

 fragrant. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 



Poeticus Ornatus. Until the introduction of King Edward VII, the most perfect 

 form of Poet's Narcissus. It is more symmetrical than the old Poeticus, and blooms 

 almost a month earlier; flowers large, pure white, cup margined with scarlet and as 

 fragrant as the type. Extra large bulbs, 60 cts. per doz.; $4.50 per 100. 



Poeticus King Edward VII (Almira). An improvement on Ornatus, being a 

 stronger grower, producing larger flowers of purest white, with yellow cup mar- 

 gined with scarlet; very early. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 



Chalice-cup Daffodils 



or Star Narcissus 



This class is also known as the medium trumpets and comprises some of 

 the most beautiful and graceful forms. All are suitable for growing in- 

 doors in pots or pans, and are especially adapted for naturalizing, being of 

 free growth and multiplying rapidly. 



Barrii Conspicuus. Perianth soft yellow; broad spreading cup, mag- 

 nificently illuminated with scarlet; a most distinct and beautiful sort, 

 and should be grown in quantity for cutting, as it lasts longer when cut 

 than most sorts. (See cut.) 6 cts. each; 60 cts. per doz.; $4.50 

 per 100. 



Barrii Lady Gediva. This beautiful variety is known as the 

 White Barrii Conspicuus, it being identical to that grand sort, 

 excepting that instead of being yellow the perianth is white; cup 

 rich yellow, edged bright orange-scarlet, a very effective combi- 

 nation; a strong grower and exceptionally free-flowering. 7 cts. 

 each; 70 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 

 Incomparabilis Autocrat. A showy and free-growing variety, 

 with large star-shaped flowers, perianth rich yellow with deeper 

 . yellow wide expanded crown or cup; a splendid sort for pots or 

 for outside planting. 6 cts. each; 60 cts. per doz. ; $4.50 per 100. 

 Incomparabilis Leonie. One of the newer sorts with very large 

 primrose- yellow perianth, cup slightly deeper, an abundant bloomer 

 and excellent for cutting. 6 cts. each; 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 

 per 100. 

 Incomparabilis Lucifer. One of the showiest and most striking varieties; 

 the flowers, which are produced with remarkable freedom, averaging three 

 to a bulb, are of large size, the perianth pure white, while the crown or 

 trumpiet is a brilliant orange-scarlet, the contrast being decided and produc- 

 ing an effect that attracts the attention of everyone. We strongly recom- 

 mend this unusually brilliant Daffodil. 7 cts. each; 70 cts. per doz. ; $5.00 

 per 100. 



Incomparabilis Sir Watkin. " Giant Chalice Flower," or " Big 

 Welshman." A gigantic flower, the largest in this section; perianth sul- 

 phur-yellow, cup slightly deeper in color and tinged with 

 orange; fine for pot culture; in fact, does well everywhere. 

 Extra large bulbs, 8 cts. each ; 80 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 

 per 100.
