DREER'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS. 



Bit TU8EB0SE, 



One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the 

 summer-flowering bulbs, throwing up tall spikes of double white 

 flowers, two to three feet high, which remain in bloom a long 

 period. It is now an indispensable article in making up a bou- 

 quet or basket of flowers at any time during the year, as, by 

 skilful management, a succession of flowers can be obtained. 

 For early flowers, they can be started in February or March, in 

 the greenhouse or hot-bed, and for a succession they can be 

 planted at intervals as late as July. For flowering in the open 

 borders, they can be planted about the 1st of May ; they will 

 then bloom in September. The bulbs we offer this season are 

 very fine, and certain to flower. 



1st size— 10 cents each. $1 per dozen. $5 per 100. 

 2d size— 8 cents. 80 cents per dozen. $4 per 100. 



NEW DWARF "PEARL" TUBEROSE. 



The individual flowers are much larger than the common va- 

 riety ; desirable for pot culture and forcing, as a bouquet flower. 

 10 cents. $1.00 per dozen. $6 per 100. 



VARIEGATED-LEAVED TUBEROSE. 



A new variety, with variegated foliage, striped with light yel- 

 low; very attractive when planted in masses. Flowers single 

 and very fragrant. 20 cents. $2.00 per dozen. 



tpitcw? on, m®-nm rotes*/ 



A splendid half-hardy summer and autumn flowering plant, with stately flower scapes and 

 magnificent terminal dense spikes of rich orange-red flower tubes. They may be taken up 

 in the fall and potted, and placed in a cool greenhouse, pit, or cellar. 



Uvaria Grandifloea. The finest variety. For blooming plants, from 25 cents to $1, 

 according to size. 



For symmetry of form and brilliancy of color in 

 almost all the varieties and hues which are recognized 

 among flowers,the Ranunculus is probably unequalled 

 by any other; for its culture it requires a good depth 

 of rich garden soil. The tubers are rather tender, and 

 should be planted out of doors in early spring ; they 

 bloom in June. Also, can be grown in pots, and 

 forced into early bloom in the greenhouse, if planted 

 in November or December.
