HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



LlLiUM Candidum (Madonna Lily) 



White Calla {Riehardia j^tMopica). The White Calla, 

 or Lily of the Nile, is a well-known plant of easy culture, 

 and in winter is one of our best window plants. To aid pro- 

 fuse blooming keep them dormant from the middle of June 

 until the last of August; repot in good, rich soil, using 6 to 8-inch 

 pot; give water, light and heat in abundance, and the result will 

 be most satisfactory. 



Dreer's Select I^ilium Candidum 



(Annunciation or Madonna Lily) 



This is one of the most popular of garden Lilies. The 

 flowers are pure snow white and very fragrant, borne on 

 long stems. To succeed with it, it should be planted early 

 in the autumn; give the bulbs a light dusting with powdered 

 sulphur, and do not cover with more than 2 inches of ioil; 

 3 to 4 feet; May and June. 



We have arranged for a large supply, and hope to have 

 them ready for delivery not later than September.

I^II^IUM HARRISII 



(Bermuda Easter Lily) 

 This is undoubtedly the best Lily for winter forcing, as it 

 comes quickly into bloom. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, 

 pure white, and delightfully fragrant. The freedom with 

 which the flowers are produced is truly remarkable.

FREESIA 



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 sufficient 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 Orowing of 

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

 ordering.
