PHILADELPHIA, September, 1901.

The attention of our customersis respectfully called to the following directions, which —
will, if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as to ourselves : aes

ORDER EARLY,.—It will greatly facilitate shipments if orders are sent in early. We aim
to send off all orders the same or next day after receipt, but during the busy season it
is nearly impossible—hence the advisability of ordering early.

TIME OF SHIPMENT.—The majority of Fall Bulbs are ready to ship by the second week
in September ; a few sorts, which are noted in Catalogue, do not mature until October
and November. Unless otherwise instructed we will send the early Bulbs as soon as

r ready, and the late maturing sorts whenin good condition to ship.

> SS XE WS
FORW ARDING.—We deliver, postage paid, to any post-office in the United States, Bulbs, Vegetable and Flower Seeds in

Se

PHILADELPHI
WRN

PLANTS.—Small plants can be sent by mail if so desired, but we strongly advise our customers to have their plants sent
by express at their expense, as larger and finer plants can be sent in this way, and ‘‘extras’’ are added to help
defray charges, and we always ship in this way unless instructed to the contrary. Heavy plants, such as
Azaleas, Camellias, Shrubs and similar large stock cannot be sent by mail. Seeds, Plants and Bulbs are now
taken by the Express Companies at a reduction of twenty per cent. from the regular rates for merchandise.

CANADA POSTAGE.—Vegetable and Flower Seedsin packets and ounces mailed free. On everything else remit for
postage, I cent per ounce.

LOCAL DELIVERY.—We deliver goods free in Philadelphia, Germantown and Chestnut Hill. We also deliver free of
charge by Package System (Baggage Master) to all points where this system is in operation, such goods as will
be received by them.

PACKING —No charge is made for boxes or packing, nor for delivery to Freight Depots or Express Offices in Philadelphia.

REMITTANCES should be made by Post Office Money Order, Drafts on Philadelphia or New York Banks, or Express
Money Orders We disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not made as above directed. Where it is
not possible to obtain these, the letter should be registered. Postage stamps will be found a convenient method
of remitting for small amounts, and can be used by us to advantage. Coin should not be sent by mail.

CASH WITH ORDER.—Please send money with the order sufficient to cover the whole bill, to facilitate the execution of
your orders. During the busy season, to make out bills for customers, charge and in a few days receive the
money, make the proper credit and send receipt, requires more work than we can readily perform. We decline
sending goods ‘‘ Collect on Delivery,’’ unless remittances be made on account to guarantee acceptance.

ERRORS —We exercise the utmost care in filling orders, striving to doa little more than we offer; yet in the press of
business, errors sometimes occur, in which event we wish to be promptly notified of the fact, and will make such
corrections as will be satisfactory. Please keep copies of all your orders for comparison.

SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES.— We endeavor to secure the safe arrival of packages of Seeds, Bulbs and Plants in
good condition in every case. If a package is injured or lost, by Mail or Express, we will replace it as soon as
informed of the fact. Frequently it happens that orders never reach us, or are without signature. When cus-
tomers fail to receive their packages in a reasonable time, they should inform us, and at the same time send a
copy of their order and any other information necessary to trace the goods. Complaints must be made on re-
ceipt of goods.

NAME AND ADDRESS.—Please remember to write your Name, Post-Office, County and State; also give num-

ber of street or P. O. Box, as distinctly as possible ; also the nearest Express Office, or if on a Stage route,
send us special directions, giving us the name of the Express Company delivering goods.

PLANT ORDERS should be separated from the Bulb and Seed orders ; the departments are separate, but shipments of
bulbs, seeds and plants are made in one parcel, to avoid additional express charges.

NON-WARRANTY.—We wish it to be distinctly understood that although we continue to take all possible pains to
supply only New, Genuine and Unadulterated Seeds, we still give no warranty, express or implied, as to de-
scription, quality, productiveness or any other matter of any of the Seeds, Plants or Bulbs we send out, and will
not be in any way responsible for the crop. Every order_received for articles named in this Catalogue will be
executed on these conditions only:

These beautiful Tulips, shown in colors on the cover of this catalogue, are not suffi-
ciently well known. They are not only valuable for bedding and for planting in the hardy

border, but are unexcelled for cutting, standing much longer than the early flowering sorts,

Dreer’s RELIABLE BULBs.

O succeed with bulbs it is necessary to begin right, by getting sound bulbs of good
size, and we would warn intending purchasers against buying cheap, undersized
stock and expect the fine results obtained from selected bulbs such as we offer. Our
sources of supply are the best in this country and abroad, the leading growers of the
world having for years supplied us with their choicest stock.

A FEW CULTURAL HINTS.

Yo the lover of flowers there is no class of plants so much prized as those which:
are produced from bulbs. The reason is easily found, because within the bulbs are
stored all the future glory of leaves and flowers, only requiring the simplest culture to
develop them in their highest perfection. Success is therefore the rule.

Another reason why bulbs are prized so highly is that a large number of them
produce their flowers in very early spring, when the rest of Nature is asleep. Then it is
that a clump of Snowdrops, Scillas, or Chinodoxas impart to the garden an air of
warmth and cheer that cannot be accomplished in any other way. Following these
modest flowers come the showier Crocus, Narcissus, Hyacinths, Tulips, Iris, ete., in all
their dazzling colors, keeping up a continuous display well into the summer. With no
other material can be secured such a wealth of charming flowers of infinite variety of
form and coloring, with so little trouble and at so small an outlay.

TIME OF PLANTING.—To the beginner we would particularly emphasize

the fact that wow and zot spring-time is the time to plant all kinds of spring flowering

Mintaruxe Hyacintus. (S-e page 3.) bulbs. The larger part of the bulbs offered in this Catalogue 1each us from Holland

PLANT IN OPEN
GROUND.—As a general rule, the
bulbs should be planted in October and
November, so that the roots may make
a good growth before the cold weather
sets in, but they can be set out even later
if the bulbs remain sound and the ground
is not frozen, They require a moder-
ately rich soil that has been well manured
for previous crops, or else apply well
rotted cow manure or bone-dust; fresh
manure is injurious to bulbs. The soil
should be well drained, and no good re-
sults can be obtained without free drain-
age. A small quantity of sand or fine
coal-ashes at the base of each bulb when
planted in stiff soil will be beneficial.
In planting, the bulbs should be placed
from an inch to four inches below the
surface, according to the size of the bulb,

When the ground freezes hard the
bed should be covered with three or four inches of coarse litter, which
should be removed in early spring. Too early and heavy covering
starts the tops prematurely, which are frequently injured in March by
freezing and thawing. After flowering, if the beds are wanted for late
spring plantings, take up the bulbs, tops and roots, and “heel in” by
covering entire until the bulb matures. After which they should be
spread out in an airy room to dry, and kept in a cool, dark place until
time for replanting.

FOR BLOOMING IN POTS.—Bulbs intended for
blooming during the winter can be planted from September until
November—the earlier the better—in pots, pans or boxes, and be left
in the open air, covered with a few inches of ashes or soil, until the
earth begins to freeze, and then be placed in a cool greenhouse, cellar
or room, at a temperature of 50°. They will need, occasionally, mod-
erate watering after they are brought inside. Or the pots, pans or boxes
may be placed at once after potting in a cool, dark cellar, watering well
and covering the same as above. The whole success of pot culture
depends upon getting the roots well established in the pots; at a low
temperature of say 40° to 50°, before you begin to force the tops at 60°
or over. '

After this the bloom is easily developed by giving light and water»
and one can have a supply of flowers from Christmas until after Easter
by regulating the time of bringing them to the light.

tory or house decora:ion. Their treatment is identical with the
Dutch Ilyacinths, which see.

popular of all bulbs for cut flowers. Millions of these are
annually forced in the United States. If potted in September,
can be had in flower from November right through the winter.

CHOICE NAMED DOUBLE HYACINTHS. Selected First-size Bulbs. )

While Double Hyacinths do not, as a rule, produce as fine spikes as the single sorts —especially when grown in water—
yet they are exceedingly handsome and deserve extensive cultivation. The varieties listed below are those which we have
found by actual tests to be the most satisfactory.

If wanted by mail, add 15 cts. per dozen for postage. No charge for mailing single bulbs.

Collections of

Hyacinths for Beds.

EW bulbs can be used for bedding with such good effect as
Hyacinths, and every spring they form one of the features of
the principal public parks, and, considering the little trouble neces-
sary for their care and the low cost of planting a good-sized bed,
it isa matter of comment that larger plantings are not seen in
private gardens, While mixed Hyacinths in the separate colors
offered on page 8 are well adapted fir bedding purposes, yet
where a special design is wanted in which the colors must be
sharp and distinct we advise using the named varieties. Not only
do you then get the requisite colors, but at the same time much
finer individual spikes of flower, which well repays for the slight
increase in cost.

Cultural directions will be found on page 4. We might add
that Hyacinth bulbs in some soils do well for a number of years
without lifting or replanting. When through flowering, the beds
may be sown or planted with shallow-rooting plants, such as Petu-
nias, Verbenas, Portulaca, etc., which will keep the beds bright
throughout the summer and in no way hurt the bulbs,

The size of the following beds are 6 feet tn diameter; plant
outside row 3 inches from edge of bed; each bed reguires 108 bulbs,

HAT we say on page 6 about the Hyacinth as a bedding
plant is equally true of the Tulip. Many brilliant color
effects are possible with Tulips that cannot be produced with
any other plant. The culture is the same as for the Hyacinth,
only, being perfectly hardy, they do not require to be covered so
heavily through the winter, but merely enough to keep the frost from
throwing them out of place. When through flowering, the bulbs
may be lifted and dried off, and used another year, or they may be

SINGLE EARLY TULIPS. |

HE Tulip is always attractive from its beauty and brilliancy of color, and
ay is one of the popular of early spring flowers. A few bulbs scattered here
and there produce but little effect, but when planted in masses, or in
small groups, they become at once grand and brilliant, and eclipse, in variety of
coloring and picturesque effect, almost any other flower. Our collection is un-
usually fine, embracing all the choicest varieties. Tulips require cultural treat-
ment similar to Hyacinths; the bulbs, being smaller, should not be planted so
deep. All the varieties named below are well adapted for pot culture, espec-
ially the Duc Van Thol sorts, which can be forced into bloom for Christmas
with but little trouble. Put 3 bulbs in 4-inch pot.
The figures prefixed indicate the average height in inches of each variety.

MaY-FLOWERING GARDEN TULIPS.

We show in colors on the cover of this Catalogue the following varieties, which were painted
by our artist from flowers supplied from our experimental grounds last May.

Front cover—Gesneriana, Yellow Crown, Bouton ad’ Or and Matden’s Blush.

Back Cover—Bizarres, Violet and Rose Byblomen and Darwin.

The varieties offered under this head are quite distinct from the early flower-
ing sorts offered onthe preceding page, coming into bloomin _
this latitude from the middle to the end of May, and pro-
longing the show of Tulips fully two weeks. They are of
free and graceful habit, growing from 18 to 24 inches high,
and bearing their large flowers of elegant outline on long, strong Q\
s.ems, and of such brilliant and odd colorings as to make them \
indispensable in any garden. As cut flowers they are far superior
to the early sorts, standing for a week or more in
good condition. They can be used with grand
effect in beds, while every permanent border and
old-fashioned garden should have a liberal quantity inter-

season.
Giant Gesneriana (True). The tallest, largest-flowered and ‘
showiest of all Tulips. Height, 2 feet, flowers very large, on long,
strong stems; grand for cutting; color rich, dazzling crimson scarlet, %
with metallic blue-black centre. (See cut and colored illustration on
front cover.) 25 cts. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; $12.00 per 1,000. :
Bouton @Or. (See colored illustration on front cover.) The richest and \
deepest golden-yellow Tulip. Very fine. 30 cts. per doz.; $1.75 per 100;
$15.00 per 1.000. \\
Maiden’s Biush or Picotee. (See colored illustration on front cover.) \
; pire \ 3 2 : aN
Large Howers of purest white, distinctly edged with clear pink. Very dainty. 40 WAS
cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100. KS
Yellow Crown. (See colored illustration on front cover.) Large yellow flowers,
edged crimson, pointed petals. Very showy. 25 cts. per doz.; $150 per 100. \
Golden Eagle. This might be called Yellow Gesneriana, similar in every way except
color, which is deep golden-yellow, Fine 25 cts. per doz.; $1.50 per 100.
Bizarres. (See colored illustration on back cover.) Varieties with deep yellow ground,
marked with orange, scarlet, crimson, brown, black, etc.; mixed sorts. 20 cts. per doz.;
$1.25 per 100; $10.00 per 1,000. GESNERIANA TULIP.
Darwin. (See colored illustration on back cover.) This fine type of the late flowering Tulip is of strong robust
growth—usually about 2 feet high—producing very large finely formed flowers in an immense variety of solid or
self colors, many of which are shades rarely seen in the floral world—such as slate, claret, mahogany, cherry,
heliotrope, etc., etc. Finest mixed varieties, 35 cts. per doz.; $2.50 per 100.

Violet Bybloemens. (See colored illustration on back cover.) Mixed varieties, having white grounds with \4\
black violet purple to pale lilac markings. 25 cts. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; $12.00 per 1,000.

Rose Bybloemens, (See colored illustration on back cover.) Mixed varieties, having white grounds with delicate
pink and rose shades to bright scarlet and deep crimson markings. 25 cts. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; $12.00 per 1,000.

DOUBLE TULIPS.

While not equal to the single in brilliancy, the double varieties
last much longer in bloom, The early varieties, such as Duc
Van Thol, Murillo, Titian, Imperator Rubrorum, and the Tour-
nesols, are excellent for forcing. The later sorts will not bear
forcing as well as the early varieties, but are very effective in
beds or borders. A combination bed of the pure white and
bright scarlet varieties La Candeur and Rex Rubrorum is espe-
cially effective. The average height of each in inches is prefixed.

CROoOcwWSs.

This brilliant and universally admired spring flower will thrive in any soil or situation, but to be brought to the highest per-
fection it should be grown in an open bed or border of deep, rich, sandy loam. When planted in large groups or lines of dis-
tinct colors, the effect is very striking, and the bulbs are now offered so cheap as to justify their liberal use. They are invaluable
for pot culture. To secure a succession of blooms commence planting early in October, 6 or 8 bulbs ina pot (the named
varieties are best for this purpose), using rich soil, and planting about an inch deep. Place the pots on a surface of ashes, cover
the top one inch deep with soil, until the leaves appear, when they may be removed to the house.

NARCISSUS »
DAFFODILS. ~

There are no hardy bulbous plants which have A A
more points of merit than the Narcissus. Perfectly
hhardy, growing and doing well in almost any and
every position, sun or shade, moist or dry. All con-
ditions seem to suit it, and every vacant corner in the

garden, amongst the grass, under the trees, etc., etc., |
could not be used to better advantage than by filling /
with Narcissus. They are equally desirable for pot
culture for winter flowering. 3 or 4 bulbs can be put

into a 5-inch 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 Narcis-
sus do best, and once planted need no further atten-
tion, the clumps multiplying and giving larger and

CHINESE SACRED LILY.

(Soy Sin Far, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods.

This is the A@rcissus Orientals, and the variety grown by Chinamen
for decorating their temples or Joss-houses on their New Year’s Day,
which occurs in February. For the most part they are grown in water in
fancy bowls, with just enough pebbles around them to keep them from
toppling over. They can also be grown in pots in soil, sand or moss ; in
fact, they usually do much better when grown in this way than in water.
We annually import from China a large quantity of the finest quality
bulbs, and if planted on arrival (about October Ist) they will flower by
Christmas, and a succession of flowers can be had by making several
plantings. The white and yellow flowers are borne in clusters and are
highly scented. 10 cts. each; 3 for 25 “cts; 90 cts. per doz. Original
basket containing 30 bulbs, $2.00.

ANEMONES.

These charming hardy spring flowers are becoming better known and more popular
as a garden flower. Both double and single are equally desirable, and no garden
should be without them. They are suitable for pot or border culture, and when
planted in masses are most effective.

They succeed best in a light, rich, well-drained
loam. Plant in October or November, or as soon as the ground can be
worked in the spring, If planted in the autumn, they should be covered
with leaves, straw, or Jong manure on the approach of winter. For pot cul-
ture, fill with any rich, porous compost, with good drainage, planting 4 roots
in a §-inch pot; place in a cold-frame, or any moderately cool situation,
giving very litle water until the plants appear, then remove to the greenhouse

or sitting-room window.

CROWN IMPERIALS.

Very showy and stately early spring bloom-
ing plants. The flowers are bell-shaped, and
are borne in a whorl at the top of the plant,
which grows from 3 to 4 feet high. The
Crown Imperial will grow well in any good
garden soil, and if it can be said to have pre—
ferences, it is for a deep loam. At the time
of planting the soil should be deeply trenched
and well manured. They should be planted
2 or 8 in a clump, 6 inches deep, and then-
left alone for years, When established they
flower abundantly, and the stems should not:
be cut off, but allowed to decay naturally..
To cut them away is to rob the plant of some:
of its strength. It has also been noticed that
the bulbs flower better after a hot summer,
the supposition being that they become well
ripened after a hot, dry season. A slight
covering during the winter will be beneficial.

GIANT CYCLAMEN.

There are few winter flowering bulbs more attractive than the Cyclamen,

! being an ideal plant either for greenhouse or window decoration. Not only
are they beautiful when in flower, but the foliage is also highly ornamental,

\ being beautifully mottled, and they are therefore highly decorative even when

| notin fower. The Giant strain here offered is much superior to the old type;
being of more robust growth and throwing the large flowers well above the
handsome foliage.

It is often a hard matter to get dry bulbs started into growth. We have,
therefore, concluded to send out only nicely started bulbs, which we feel
sure will produce grand results, having been grown from our own choice

strain of seed.

been added a liberal quantity of well
rotted cow manure. Once planted they
should not be disturbed, as the roots are
extremely brittle and liable toinjury. A

FREESIA.

This is one of the most beautiful of all Cape bulbs,
possessing a peculiar grace of form, and its fragrance

is most delightful, one pot of five or
six bulbs being sufficient to perfume a
whole house. As cut flowers they are
extremely valuable; the unexpanded
blooms, opening in water, fill the air
with the most delicate perfume, and
their endurance is really remarkable.
They force very easily, and can be
had in flower at Christmas, and con-
tinue in succession until June. When
potted these should not be placed in a
dark place like most other bulbs, but
should be put directly in the light.

] RIS (Flowering Flag—Fleur-de-Lis).

Hardy spring and summer-blooming plants, bearing large, rich and various
colored flowers. They are of easy culture, and thrive in any good garden soil. The
whole family have claims on the attention of amateurs, on account of their excellent
faculty of taking care of themselves if properly planted in the first instance. No gar-
den should be without some of the varieties, especially as they are valuable for cutting.

SPANISH IRIS (Iris Hispanica).

These have appropriately been called ‘the Orchids of the Hardy
Flower Garden,” some of the choicer Orchids being their only rivals, and
even they can hardly be said to exceed them in richness, variety and
beauty. We illustrated them in colors on the cover of our 1900 Autumn
Catalogue, and have received scores of letters from those who p!anted
them testifying to their great beauty and usefulness. They are of the
simplest culture, succeeding in almost any soil or position. The bulbs
should be planted 2 to 3 inches deep and 6 inches apart any time in the
autumn, and the beds covered in the same way as recommended for
Hyacinths and Tulips. For best effect, they should be planted in beds
or groups of 25 to a hundred or more bulbs—the larger the number
the finer the effect. They flower about the end of June, and the bulbs may either
be lifted or allowed to remain for another season. — :

They are also splendid for pot culture. Put 4 to 6 bulbs ina 5-inch pot, and
treat the same way as Hyacinths, except that they should not be brought in
for flowering much before March. We offer the following select sorts : 2
Belle Chinoise. Golden yellow. \

Blanche Superbe. Pure white.
Emperor. Violet and blue.
Louise. Pale pear! blue.

ENGLISH IRIs.

MOURNING IRIS (. Susiana).

In that wonderful combination of form and
coloring of the rare sweet flower we call the
Iris (eye of heaven) there is none so peculiarly
beautiful as Susiana. It stands out in its own
right as the grandest of all species.
The groundwork of the flower is
silvery gray,so mottled and veined
and Jined with dark chocolate and
black as to leave one under the
impression that it is only a silver
lining showing through. It is
hardy with slight protection in
winter, blooming early in spring.
No description can do it justice.
It must be seen to be appreciated.

LILY OF THE WALLEY.

One of the most charming of spring flowering plants, bearing slender
stems set with tiny bells, which diffuse a delicious odor. They are largely
used for forcing in winter and can be flowered in the house. To secure
good resuits the pips or crowns should be kept in a cold place until wanted
for flowering. If they have been kept in a frozen state, they should be
gradually thawed out before placing in heat. Ifto be forced in green-
houses, the pips should be placed on the benches and covered with moss, and
kept in a steady temperature of 70 to 75 degrees. Water should be liberally
supplied and the pips shaded until the stems are 2 or 3 inches high, when the

shading should be removed in order to develop the flowers. The pips we
offer are the best quality German. (Ready for delivery in November.)

as most suitable for outdoor planting.

Pretty, hardy autumn flowering bulbs, and deserve to be better known, In appearance they resemble a fine yellow Crocus,
and a clump of a dozen or more together with a corresponding clump of Autumn

is supposed by some writers to be the Lily of Scripture, as it grows abundantly in
the Holy Land, from whence our stock was procured. 80 cts. per doz.; $2.00

SNOW DROPS (Galanthus).

The charming Snowdrop is the first of all flowers to herald the approach of
spring. It can frequently be seen in bloom when the ground is white with snow.
as it takes every advantage, and hastens to display its graceful snow-white bells
before the winter has disappeared. In conjunction with Chionodoxas and Scillas,
a matchless effect can be produced. As the bulbs are small, they should be planted
liberally in order to obtain immediate results. Banks, grassy slopes, edging, or
rock-work will suit all of these bulbs. They should not be disturbed often if a
fine display is desired.

LILIES.

To the Lily must be awarded the first place amongst hardy bulbs; their beauty and
fragrance are unequaled by any other class of plants, and even surpass the richest
exotics for size, form and coloring. The genus embraces a vast number of species;
we, howeyer, confine our list to such as are of easy culture, and give the best results
with the least care. They should be planted deep, covering the bulb with at least
6 inches of soil, and when hard frost sets in, 4 to 6 inches of leaves or litter should
be placed over them; this should be removed in spring, when danger from hard frost
is past. The soil best suited for them is a deep, light loam, but good results may be
had in any good garden soil. They do grandly in a semi-shaded position, or planted
among shrubbery, and in all cases it is well to mulch around the roots.

Many sorts are now offered at such low prices that liberal plantings can be made
at little expense; it is only when planted in clumps of a dozen to a hundred that
they show to the best advantage.

When grown in pots, the best soil is sandy peat, but they will flower finely in a
light, rich mixture. It is advisable to begin with the smallest size pot in which the
bulbs can be placed, and to shift into larger pots as the plant progresses. A cool
temperature suits them best, and the plants should be liberally watered during the
period of growth and flowering,

Candidum and Harristt ave mature in August, and the others, with one or two

exceptions, in October.

Auratum (Golden Banded Lily), Of all the Lily tribe this is undoubtedly one
of the finest, whether we regard its size, its sweetness or its exquisite arrangement
of color. Its large and graceful flowers are composed of six petals of a delicate
ivory white color, thickly studded with chocolate crimson spots, and striped through
the centre a golden yellow. From 6 to 20 flowers are produced on a stem, and as
the bulbs acquire age and strength the flowers increase in size and number.

LILIES— Continued.

Batemannize. A Japanese Lily growing from 3 to 4 feet
high, and producing bright, apricot-tinted flowers, 15 cts.
each ; $1.50 per doz.

Brownii. Very fine, large flowers, trumpet-shaped; inter-
nally pure white; externally purplish-brown. 30 cts. each;

$3.00 per doz.

Candidum (Axxunciation Lily). This is one of the best
known and most popular of garden Lilies. The flowers are
pure snow-white and very fragrant, borne on long stems, and
often exceed in number 25 to each bulb. It is also a valuable
variety for forcing, being largely used by the florists for this
purpose. Large bulbs, 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $6.00
per 100.

Canadense. Bright crimson, with cark spots.. 15 cts.
each ; $1.50 per doz.

Elegans (Umbellatum). This class includes some of the
most beautiful Lilies; flowers erect, borne in clusters; colors
of the richest hues of yellow and red; fine for planting in
masses. Mixed varieties. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.

Elegans Incomparable. Intense deep red; one of the
richest of this easily-grown group. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per
doz.

Execelsum. This remarkable Lily attains a height of 5 to 6
feet; it produces from 8 to 12 nodding, rich, apricot-hued
blooms; very sweet-scented. 40 cts. each; $400 per doz.

Giganteum. A splendid species of gigantic growth and
very distinct; the stems grow 6 to 10 feet high, and fre-
quently bear 12 to 20 large flowers 5 to 6 inches long; color
creamy-white, with a purple throat; blooms in the summer.
Immense bulbs. $1.25 each.

Harrisii (Se7muda Easter Lily). This magnificent Lily is
undoubtedly the best for winter forcing, as it comes quickly
into bloom and produces flowers in the greatest abundance.
The flowers are trumpet-shaped, pure white, gracefully
formed and delightfully fragrant, and if cut when partly
opened will last in perfection for 10 days or 2 weeks. The
bulbs should be potted in early fall in rich soil, and the pots
plunged in sand, where they should be allowed to remain
until the approach of cold weather, The aim should be to
prevent the tops starting until the roots have become strong
and vigorous, when they may be brought in and placed in
gentle heat. It can be forced into bloom at any desired time,
and the freedom with which the flowers are produced is truly
remarkable ; even the smailest bulbs blooming freely.

Pretty greenhouse plants that do not
receive the attention they deserve, but

many good qualities are better known,
become popular, not only as decorative
plants, but as cut flowers, for which
many of the varieties, on account of
their peculiar shaped flowers and rich
colorings, which frequently last on the
plant from two to three months, espe-
cially adapt them.

florets, size of truss, purity of color, habit of plant and gen-
eral excellence, and especially recommend them for the
embellishment of the conservatory and window garden.

Strawberry Plants.

While we do not offer a long list of varieties, our stock in-
cludes the very best so far as careful selection and test can se-
cure the highest quality. Scores of new strawberries come
upon the market every year, of which but few have permanent
merit. Each season we add to our list all the better sorts which
come forward with well-endorsed claims to public favor, and
drop those which have failed to fulfil the claims made by their
friends.

All of the varieties offered below are fully described in our

A SINGLE PLANT oF CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER.

Winter Vetches, or Tares (Vicia villosa). Also called
Sand, or Haiiy Vetch. Another valuable forage plant, which
should be sown during Sey; tember, together with Rye, which
serves asa support. It is perfectly hardy in all parts of the
country, remaining green all winter, and maturing fully four
weeks ecrlier than Scarlet Clover.- Sow from one-half to one
bushel per acre, together with one-half bushel of Rye. Per
Ib., 12 cts. (by mail, 20 cts.) ; (bus. 60 Ibs.), $7 00; per 100

SELECTED SEED WHEAT.

Improved Dietz Longberry Wheat (earaec).
This valuable early wheat will do well on all kinds of soil.
Sown either early or Jate, it always yields a large crop of
choice high-grade wheat, even after hard, icy winters. It is
a very close chaffed wheat, and holds the berry tight, so that
it does not shell out during the process of harvesting, hence
a saving of grain over many other sorts. It is one of the
most hardy and prolific varieties, and millers say that itis a
very desirable wheat, and it always brings the highest market
price. Peck, 50 cts.; bus., $1.40; 5 bus., $6.50. Add 15
cis. extra for each 2-bushel sack.

Improved Fultz Wheat (2c/7). This variety is more
widely known in the United States than any other kind, and
probably more acreage is sown of this than any other; grows
to a medium height, with stiff, strong straw, ripens early, and
seldom fails to make a good crop. Peck, 50 cts.; bus.,
$1.40; 5 dus, $6.50. Add 15 cts. extra for each 2-ous. sack.

Jones’ Winter Fife Wheat (Se/2). The longest-
headed wheat, and one of the hardiest winter wheats known,
well adapted for all soils, grows to a medium height, matures
medium early, and should he left until fully ripe. Peck, 50
cts.; bus., $1.40; 5 bus., $6.50. Add 15 cts. for each 2-
bushel sack.

Grass Seeds for Lawn and Pleasure Grounds.

The results from planting Dreer’s Lawn Mixture at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, N. Y., have been

most satisfactory, and the lawns so made were greatly admired by many visitors.

The illustration shown above was made from a

' photograph, and shows a thick, even growth, which was remarkable for so short a time after sowing the seed. The Grass Seed De-
partment is an important feature of our business, and our Special Mixtures have made for us a great reputation in this line.

Dreer’s Evergreen Mixture.

This special mixture is made from our own formula, and com-
posed of grasses which are especially adapted for the purpose
of producing lawns which retain their rich green color and
velvety appearance throughout the entire summer and fall. 25
cts. per qt. (380 cts. postpaid); peck, $1.00; bushel (20 lbs.),
$4.00.

Dreer’s Fairmount Park Mixture.

A carefully compounded mixture of grasses which ripen suc-
cessively, thereby retaining their green appearance. For various
soil conditions this mixture is well suited, giving good results,
even in small city grass plots, where the soil is generally stiff
and heavy. 20 ets per qt. (25 cts. postpaid); peck, 90 cts.;
bushel (20 lbs.), $3.50.

Dreer’s “Shady Place” Mixture.
Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of
grass under trees and in shady places; for sowing in such places
we recommend the use of this special mixture. It will quickly
produce an abundant and even growth of beautiful green grass.
Ae cts. per qt. (80 cts. postpaid) ; peck, $1.25; bushel (20 lbs.),
