HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BtJLBS 



Narcissus Barrii Conspicuus 



Star Narcissus or Daffodils 



This class is also known as tlie chalice-cup or medium trumpets, and com- 

 prises some of the most beautiful and graceful forms. AU are suitable for growing 

 indoors in pots or pans, and are specially adapted for naturalizing, being of 

 free growth and multiplying rapidly. 



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

 cently 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. 

 12 cts. each; $1.25 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 



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

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

 ' sulphur-yellow cup slightly deeper in color and tinged with orange; 

 fine for pot culture; in fact, does weU everywhere. 20 cts. each; $2.00 

 per doz.; $12.50 per 100. 

 Incomparabilis Lucifer. One of the showiest, and most striking 

 varieties; the flowers, which are produced with remarkable freedom, 

 are of large size, the perianth pure white, while the ctown or trumpet 

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

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

 mend this unusually brilliant Daffodil. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; 

 . $10.00 per 100. 



Leedsii Evangeline. A free-flowering, strong growing sort, with pure 



white perianth and delicate primrose cup; charming for pots and for 



naturalizing. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 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. 12 cts. each; $1.25 per doz.; 



.00 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 per- 

 fectly hardy, and once planted take care of themselves.

 beautiful lemon-yellow cup edged with bright orange-red. 65 cts. per doz.; 

 $4.50 per 100; $40.00 per 1000.

 snowy white perianth and large flat eye or cup, deeply rimmed with dark 

 scarlet, a free, strong grower. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $17.50 per 100.

 perianth, cup canary yellow thinly edged with madder-red. 20 cts. each;
