Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 



Note. — The majority of the Bulbs and Boots offered in this Catalogue are usually ready for delivery before the 

 end of September. A few sorts do not mature until October or November. Unless otherwise instructed, we will send 

 the early bulbs as soon as ready, and the late-maturing sorts when in good condition to ship. 



POPPY ANEMONES (WmdHower) 



The varieties offered below are charming hardy spring flowers, 

 and are becoming better known and more popular as a garden 

 flower. Both double and single are equally desirable, and no 

 garden should be without them. They are suitable for pot or 

 border culture, and when planted in masses are most effective. 

 They succeed best in a light, rich, well-drained loam. Plant 

 in November, or as soon as the ground can be worked in the 

 Spring. If planted in the Autumn they should be covered with 

 leaves, straw or long manure on the approach of winter. For 

 pot culture, fill with any rich, porous compost, with good drain- 

 age, planting 4 roots in a 5-inch pot; place in a cold frame, or 

 any moderately cool situation, giving very little water until the 

 plants appear; then remove to greenhouse or sitting-room window.

Dbeer's American Hybrid Amaryllis 



ALLIUMS 



Bulbous plants of the very easiest culture, requiring little at- 

 tention and giving good returns. The variety Neapolitanum 

 is splendid in pots in the greenhouse or window, flowering 

 through the winter months, and should be handled in the same 

 way as Hyacinths, etc., while Moly is a fine hardy sort for planting in 

 the hardy border.

 sively forced by florists for cut flowers. Its flower stems are 20 inches 

 high, supporting a large cluster of delicate white starry flowers; sure 

 to bloom splendidly in any window. Six bulbs will fill a 6-inch pot 

 or bulb pan. 25 cts. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; $12.00 per 1000.

AMARYLLIS (Hippeastrum) 



The Amaryllis is pre-eminently a window garden plant for the 

 amateur, producing under the simplest conditions one, two or even 

 three spikes, two feet or more high, which are crowned with from three 

 to six large and gorgeous trumpet-shaped blooms, which last long in 

 good condition. For full cultural directions see our new book " Dreer's 

 Hints on the Growing of Bulbs." Price, 25 cts. Copies free to cus- 

 tomers who ask for it when ordering. 



Dreer's American Hybrids. We believe this selection of seed- 

 lings is the best obtainable at the present time, and we know of 

 nothing that will give the amateur greater pleasure for the window 

 garden. They have been grown from seed produced by crossing the 

 finest named varieties. The resulting strain embodies, with vigorous 

 growth, free-flowering habit and enormous size of the individu.T' 

 flowers, a really wonderful range of colors, varying from deep crim 

 son to bright orange-scarlet; and from light rose to almost pure 

 white, many of them beautiful combinations in stripes and variega 

 tions. We offer mixed varieties only, in very strong bulbs, 75 cts. 

 each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100.
