Dreer's Improved Purity Freesias 



IXIAS (African Corn Lily) 



These charming, half-hardy bulbs from the Cape of Good Hope 

 are very ornamental for indoor culture, or planted in cold frames or 

 out-doors in well-drained and protected borders. The flowers are 

 of the most brilliant, rich and varied hues. We offer them in mixture, 

 45 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 



Spanish Iris (iris Hispanlca) 



These beautiful bulbous Iris have appropriately been called the 

 "Orchids of the Hardy Flower Garden." For best effects they 

 should be planted in beds or groups of twenty-five or more, the 

 larger the number the finer the effect. They grow from 18 to 24 

 inches high, and bloom from the end of May on through June. 



We have secured a limited quantity of extra strong home-grown 

 bulbs, and offer as under: 



Cajanus. Large canary yellow. 



King of the Blues. Rich dark blue shaded lighter. 



Louise. Pale pearl blue, exquisite. 



Reconnaissance. A splendid large dark bronze 



Snowball. A fine pure white.
