DREER'S BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 



CROCUS 



This brilliant and universaOy admired spring flower will thrive in any soil or situation 

 but to be brought to the highest perfection it should be grown in an open bed or border 

 of deep, rich sandy loam. Also makes a brilliant showing in the rock garden. 



The Giant- Flowering varieties are very ornamental when flowered in pots, after potting 

 they should be watered well and placed in a cool cellar until well rooted and then brought 

 to the light in a cool room until in bloom. They will not flower if forced in a high tem- 

 perature.

Eranthis Hyemalis 



Eranthis Hyemalis 



(Winter Aconite) 



A pretty golden yellow flower valuable 

 for its early blooming. The foliage re- 

 mams long after the flowers, making it 

 especially valuable in moist situations, 

 such as under trees, where few other 

 flowering plants will thrive. Plant 2 

 inches deep, and about IS bulbs to the 

 square foot. Splendid for the Rock Gar- 

 den. 35 cts. per doz.; $2.25 per 100. 



Fritillaria 



Splendid for Rock Gardens 

 Meleagris {Snake's Head or Guinea Een 

 Flower). An elegant species, growing 

 from 10 to 18 inches high, bearing in 

 spring curious drooping bell-shaped 

 flowers, most of which are very oddly 

 marked, many being checkered and 

 splashed white and purple, cream and 

 maroon, etc., etc. Perfectly hardy and 

 splendid for naturalizing, especially in 

 semi-shaded places. Mixed colors, 60 

 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



Baby Gladiolus 



(Tecolete Hybrids Mixture) 



This very beautiful new strain of Baby 

 Gladiolus possesses the good qualities of 

 early flowering, and a disease resistant 

 bulb. The flowers are well opened and 

 Fritillaria Meleagris gracefully arranged on strong tall stems 



attaining the height of three feet. Not being hardy it is only 

 adapted for forcing or pot culture, for which it is highly recom- 

 mended, and must be planted in October and November. 60 cts. 

 per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



Spring-flowering Bulbs for the Rock Garden 



The miscellaneous bulbs listed below add color and fragrance 

 to the rock garden and hardy border. They are amongst the 

 earliest flowers to bloom, the Snowdrops frequently blooming 

 while the ground is still covered with snow. They are most 

 effective when planted in large masses for naturalizing in the 

 border, or the margin of meadows or woodlands.
