Dreer's Collections of Named Hyacinths 



The following collections are made up of Extra Selected First-size Bulbs, of such varieties as are especially suited for 

 growing in pots and glasses. For short Cultural Notes see page 3. Complete cultural directions are given in " Dreer's Hints on 

 the Growing of Bulbs." Price, 25 cts., or free to purchasers if asked for at time of ordering. 



SPECIAL SELECTION 



FOR POT CULTURE. 



A selection of distinct standard sorts, which may confidently be 

 expected to produce spikes of exceptional size. 



12 distinct named varieties (9 singles and 3 doubles), our selec- 

 tion, §1.00. If wanted by Parcel Post add postage. 



SPECIAL SELECTION 



FOR GROWING IN WATER. 



This selection is made up of sorts which are specially adapted for 

 the purpose. 



12 distinct named varieties (9 singles and 3 doubles), our selection, 

 $1.00. If wanted by Parcel Post add pastage. 



GLASSES FOR HYACINTHS. 



The culture of Hyacinths in glasses has always been popular, and if you will use the special selec- 

 tion of varieties offered above failure is next to impossible. When the Hyacinths are through flower- 

 ing, the glasses are just the thing to hold cut flowers. 



We can supply either the Tall or Squat shape in Blue, Green or Clear. 20 cts. each; £2.00 perdoz. 

 Glasses can only be sent by express or freight at customer's expense. 



Dreer's nixed Dutch Hyacinths 



We offer two grades of mixtures — our "Rainbow" and "Popular." Both are good, and we feel confident that nothing better 

 can be had at the prices quoted. We recommend the single-flowering sorts as giving the best and most uniform results, and always 

 send singles unless otherwise specified. 



DREER'S "RAINBOW" MIXTURE. 



This mixture is made up by ourselves out of high-grade named sorts; the bulbs average over six inches in circumference, and 

 can be depended on to produce fine results, either planted out of doors or in pots in the house, and are without doubt the highest 

 grade of mixed Hyacinths offered at a reasonable price.

A fine grade of bulbs at a popular price. The bulbs used in making this mixture are 15 centimeters — nearly 6 inches in cir- 

 cumference — and are very satisfactory for bedding and outdoor planting of all kinds. Can also be used for pot culture, but we 

 strongly advise the use of a higher grade for this purpose.

PREPARED 



BULB FIBRE. 



This material has become very popular 

 for growingbulbs in, and is especially adapted 

 for use in the home, being clean and odor- 

 less, and as it is light in weight, can be 

 sent to a distance at small expense. 



It contains all the necessary plant food for 

 almost all kinds of bulbous plants. 



Before using it should be thoroughly moist- 

 ened and the bulbs planted in the same way 

 as if soil were used. A special feature of 

 this material is that bulbs can be grown in 

 it in jardinieres, fern dishes and other non- 

 porous receptacles without drainage. In 

 such cas s it is necessary to put a few pieces 

 of charcoal in the bottom of each receptacle to 

 take up any impurities, and after watering, the 

 jardinieres or dishes should be turned on their 

 side to allow any surplus water to drain off. 



The treatment after planting in this mate- 

 rial is the same as when planted in soil. 

 50 cts. per peck; SI. 50 per bushel; 2 bushels 

 for $2.50.
