HENRY A. DREER Dreer’s Quality Bulbs WHOLESALE LIST 
Dutch Iris 
Fritillaria 
Meleagris (Snake’s Head, Guinea Hen 
Flower). Drooping bell-shaped blooms 
on graceful slender stems. The 
checkerboard design of the flowers in 
bright green, purple, cream, and 
maroon always attracts attention. 
They are perfectly hardy. 40c per 
doz.; $2.75 per 100. 
Baby Gladiolus 
Baby Gladiolus 
Tecolete Hybrids 
This is a very beautiful new strain of 
Gladiolus noted for its early flowering 
habit and disease resistance of the 
bulbs. The flowers are well opened and 
gracefully arranged on strong, tall 
stems attaining a height of 3 feet which 
is the more remarkable as the bulbs are 
quite small. These hybrids are not hardy 
and are adapted to forcing or pot cul¬ 
ture for which they are highly recom¬ 
mended. They must be planted in Oc¬ 
tober and November. The bulbs are 
available early in September. We sug¬ 
gest that all florists give this beautiful 
new strain a thorough trial to convince 
themselves of its great possibilities.
