HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Narcissus Poetaz 



(Cluster-Flowered 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. Excellent for 

 forcing in pots or pans, also out of doors if given some protection during 

 the winter. 



Cheerfulness. Double white Poetaz hybrid, 3 to 4 large flowers on a 

 strong stem. While the general effect of the coloring is white, there is a 

 suggestion of pale yellow at the base of the petals. A wonderful show 

 variety, and of proven hardiness in New England. 20 cts. each; $1.75 

 per doz. ; $12.00 per 100. 



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-red. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 



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

 golden-yellow cup; flowers of good size, produced in clusters of 5 to 7 

 or more. IS cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



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

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

 fluted. 5 to 7 flowers on a stem. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 

 per 100.

Narcissus Poetaz

The Poet's Narcissus 



(Narcissus Poeticus) 



This is the old-fashioned favorite type; all have snowy white 

 flowers, with yellow or lemon cups margined more or less deeply 

 W with red and with rich, spicy odor. All do well in the open border, 

 s or naturalized in grass, are perfectly hardy, and once planted take 



b care of themselves.

 with beautiful lemon-yellow cup edged with bright orange-red.

 white perianth, cup canary yellow thinly edged with madder-red.
