HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



41 



Narcissus Poetaz 



{CIuster-Howered Daffodils ) 



These are a cross between the Poeticus and Polyanthus types, partaking 

 largely of the former in the size and form of the individual flowers, and also 

 inherits the strong, free growth of their Poeticus parentage. In the manner 

 of producing their flowers in clusters, and in extreme free-flowering qualities, 

 they possess all the merits of the Polyanthus type. They are as easily flowered 

 in the house in winter as the Paper White Polyanthus, and are considered 

 by many as better than the Ployanthus, and offer a larger variety in coloring. 

 Can be planted out of doors if well covered dupng the winter. We offer 

 three fine varieties: 



Elvira. Very free-flowering, producing a number of stems to a bulb; each 

 bearing 3 to 4 large flowers, with broad, heavy white petals and a bright 

 yellow cup, edged orange. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Helios. The best yellow variety. Petals soft primrose-yeUow, deep 

 golden-yellow cup; flowers of good size, produced in clusters. 20 cts. each; 

 $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Laurens Koster. One of the latest introductions, and producing very 

 large flowers; perianth pure white with deep orange-yellow cup prettily 

 fluted. 3 to 4 flowers on a stem. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Single Mixed Narcissus 



A splendid mixture, containing a great many fine varieties, and sure to 

 produce satisfactory returns. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



-" Narcissus Poetaz 



Polyanthus Narcissus or 

 Nosegay Daffodils 



Millions of these bulbs which, up to last year, were imported 

 from the South of France, were grown annually by commercial 

 florists and private growers, largely on account of the ease with 

 which they could be brought into bloom during the winter and 

 early spring months. As the Government prohibits their further 

 importation for sale, we have now to depend on home-grown 

 bulbs, produced for the most part in the Southern and Pacific 

 Coast states. Careful tests of these during the past two seasons 

 show that while they flower quite freely they do not come into 

 bloom as quickly as the imported bulbs. 



Large-flowering Paper White 

 Polyanthus Narcissus 



Beautiful free-flowering, deliciously sweet scented flowers of 

 the easiest culture; suitable for forcing in soil or prepared fibre 

 or for growing in water. 



We offer the largest and best home-grown bulbs procurable 

 which we feel sure will give satisfactory returns. 15 cts. each; 

 $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $95.00 per 1000. 



Soleil d'or or Golden Sun 

 Polyanthus Narcissus 



A splendid free flowering variety producing large clusters of 

 rich yellow flowers with a deep orange-red cup. Just as easy to 

 grow as the Paper White variety. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; 

 $18.00 per 100.
