HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA - SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



DREER'S SUPERB 

 Narcissi, or Daffodils 



There are no hardy bulbous plants which have 

 more points of merit than the Narcissi or Daffodils. 

 Perfectly hardy, growing and doing well in almost 

 any and every position, sun or shade, moist or dry. 

 All conditions seem to suit them although they have 

 a preference for a good, deep soil and semi-shaded 

 position and every vacant comer in the garden, 

 amongst the grass, under the trees, etc., etc., 

 could not be used to better advantage than by 

 filling with Narcissus, and every hardy border 

 should have a number of clumps interspersed through it. 

 They are equally suitable for pot culture for winter flowering. 

 Three or four bulbs can be put into a 5-inch or 6-inch pan or 

 pot, and with the same treatment as given to Hyacinths, the 

 dull winter and early spring months can be made bright with 

 their exquisite gold and silver blossoms. But it is outdoors 

 that Narcissus do best, and once planted need little attention, 

 the clumps as a rule multiplying and giving larger and finer 

 results each year.
