DREER'S BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 



13 



Double Narcissi or Daffodils 



No collection of Narcissus is complete without the double-flowering sorts. 



While not as attractive as many of the single varieties, and lacking variety of 



coloring, they possess a charm peculiarly their own. All are perfectly hardy and 



are much in demand for cutting. 



Alba Plena Odorata {Double Poet's Narcissus or Gardenia Daffodil). Pure 

 white, beautiful, with the delightful fragrance of orange blossoms. Strong 

 stems. Blooms very late and seems to prefer a cool soil and semi-shaded posi- 

 tion. In some situations the buds blast every year or the flowers come single, 

 then again whole patches can be found near old homesteads in New York and 

 Connecticut which produce masses of excellent double flowers every season. 

 This beautiful variety cannot be forced or grown indoors. Double nosed bulbs. 

 $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Argent. Alternate rows of pure yellow and larger pure white petals. A long 

 stemmed double flower of very graceful form. Open faced and friendly looking. 

 The texture of the white petals glistens as if dusted with silver. Free-flowering 

 midseason bloomer. $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



Orange Phoenix (Eggs and Bacon). Light citron with orange centre; a beauti- 

 ful artistic blossom and easily forced. Double nosed bulbs. $1.30 per doz.; 

 $9.50 per 100. 



Primrose Phoenix. A very beautiful Daffodil with large double rose-shaped 

 flowers of a lovely soft tone of lemon. Very free-flowering. Double nosed 

 bulbs. $1.75 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 



Sulphur or Silver Phoenix (Codlins and Cream). Creamy white with pale 

 sulphur centre. One of the finest double sorts. Double nosed bulbs. $1.50 

 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Van Sion (Telamonius Plemis). The famous old Dutch Daffodil; 

 flowers golden yellow; also excellent for bedding in conjunction 

 with Hyacinths, flowering at the same time and presenting a 

 beautiful contrast when used with a blue variety. Exlra Se- 

 lected Dotible-nosed Bulbs. $1.50 per doz.; $11.00 per 100.
