HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Double Narcissus or 

 Daffodils 



No coflection of Narcissus is complete without the double- 

 flowering sorts. 'RTiUe 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.

 Dafodil). Double pure white; very sweet scented; This 

 beautiful variety cannot be forced. It succeeds Jjest planted 

 in rather heavy soil, in partial shade, and where it will not 

 suffer for lack of moisture. 10 cts. each; Sl-OO per doz.; 

 S7.50 per 100. 



Orange Phoenix {Eggs and Bacon). Light citron with> orange 

 centre; a beautiful artistic blossom and easUy forced. IS cts. 

 each; $1.50 per doz.; §10.00 per 100.

 double sorts. 15 cts. each; §1.50 per doz.;' §10.00 per 100.

 flowers. 15 cts. each; §1.50, per doz.; §10.00 per 100,

Jonquils 



JonquUs are a small flowering type of Narcissus, and are 

 prized for their graceful, golden, fragrant blossoms, and the 

 ease with which they may be grown. Half a dozen bulbs 

 can be put in a 5-inch pot, and with the same treatment as 

 recommended for Hyacinths (see page 29), a fine display 

 can be had from January to AprU. Liberal planting should 

 be made outdoors. A clump of 50 or more bulbs put here 

 and there among the shrubbery, or interspersed in the hardy 

 border, or naturalized in the grass, give an indescribably rich 

 effect in the early spring, whUe a vase of the cut blooms will 

 fill a room with the rich, spicy odor. 



Single Sweet-scented {Narcissus Jonqiiilla). Rich buttery- 

 yellow; not as large a flower as the others, but most fragrant and 

 very free-flowering. 60 cts. per doz.; §4.00 per 100; §35.00 per 1000. 



Campemelle Rugulosus. The largest and finest of all Jon- 

 quils; a handsome flower; color pure yellow; very fragrant. §1.00 

 per doz.; §7.50 per 100. 



Odorous Plenus {Double Campemelle Jonquil). A charming variety bearing on taU 

 graceful stems, double yeUow fragrant flowers of elegant form. §1.25 per doz.; 

 $8.50 per 100.
