General Directions to Correspondents.
PHILADELPHIA, September, 1907.
The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, which will,
if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as to ourselves.
ORDER EARLY.—It will greatly facilitate shipments if orders are sent carly: We aim to
send oft 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 ready,
and the late-maturing sorts when in good condition to ship.
packets, ounces and pounds, at catalogue prices, except where otherwise noted; but it will be much cheaper to the purchaser
if goods are ordered to be sent by express or freight at their expense when desired in any quantity. Agricultural Seeds,
Implements and other bulky and heavy goods can only be sent by freight or express at purchaser’s expense.
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 merchanatse.
CANADA POSTAGE.—Vegetable and Flower Seeds in packets and ounces mailed without extra cost. On everything else
remit double the amount of postage required for delivery in U. S.
LOCAL DELIVERY.—We deliver goouds free in Philadelphia, Germantown and Chestnut Hil!. 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, We decline sending goods ‘“ Collect on Delivery ” unless remittance be made on account to guarnntee acceptance.
ERRORS.—We exercise the utmost care in filling orders, striving to do a 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, Buibs and Plants in
good condition in every case. If a package is injured or lost by 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 customers 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 neces-
sary to trace the goods. Complaints must be made on receipt of goods.
NAME AND ADDRESS.——Please remember to write your NAME, POST-OFFICE, COUNTY and STATE; also
give number 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.
NON-WARRANTY.—Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as
unfavorable weather and soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which render it impossible for us to guarantee
success, and although we take all possible care to supply only such stock as will, under proper conditions, produce satisfac-
tory results, we still give no warranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send
out, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in this Catalogue will be executed
on these conditions only. It must, however, be plain to every one who gives the matter the slightest thought that it is to our
best interests to send out only such stock as will not only grow but prove true to name and description.

.-Dreer’s Reliable Bulbs. .
O succeed with bulbs it is necessary to begin right, by getting sound bulbs of good size, and we would
7, warn intending purchasers against buying cheap, undersized bulbs and expect the fine results obtained
trom 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.
To the lover of flowers there is no class
of plants so much prized as those which are
produced from bulbs. ‘he reason is easily
found, because within the bulbs are stored
all the future glory of leaves and flowers,
only requiring the simplest culture to de-
velop them in their highest perfection. Suc-
cess is therefore the rule.
Another reason why bulbs are prized so
highly is that a large number of them pro-
duce their flowers in very early spring, when
the rest of nature is asleep. Then it is that
a clump of Snowdrops, Scillas, or Chino-
doxas 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, etc., in all their dazzling
colors, keeping up a continuous display
well into the summer. With no other ma-
terial can be secured such a wealth of
charming flowers of infinite variety of form
and coloring, with so httle trouble and at
A Bep or Corrace Maip Tutirs (Baltimore, Md.). so small an outlay.
A FEW CULTURAL HINTS.
Note.— Zhe following cultural hints apply especially to the latitude of Philadelphia. South of us it is quite possible to plant out
bulbs as late as Christmas, while at points north of Philadelphia they should plant as early as possible after the first killing frost.
WHEN TO PLANT.—To the beginner we would emphasize the fact that Autumn and not Springtime is the time to plant
all kinds of spring-Howering bulbs. The larger part of the bulbs offered in this Catalogue are ready to ship by the second week in
September, and the sooner they are planted after that the greater will be the measure of success, more par=
ticularly those for indoor culture; therefore, ORDER EARLY. A few sorts, which are noted in the catalogue, do
not mature until October and November, and can be sent at once on their arrival.
OUTDOOR CULTURE.—As a general rule, the bulbs should be planted in October and November, so that the roots may
make a good growth before cold weather sets in, but they can be set out even later if the ground is not frozen. They require
a moderately rich soil that has been well manured for previous crops, or else apply well-rotted cow or sheep manure or bone-
meal; fresh manure is injurious to bulbs. The soil should be well drained, and no good results 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 plant-
ing the bulbs should be placed from an inch to four inches below the surface, according to the size of the bulb. A good rule to
go by is to cover the bulbs with soil one and a half times their own depth.
When the ground freezes hard the bed should be covered with three or four inches of leaves or 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 Jate spring plantings, take up the bulbs, tops and roots, and “heel in” in
some corner of the garden until the bulbs mature, after which they
should be spread out in an airy room to dry, and kept in a cool, dark
place until time for replanting the following autumn. GLASSES for HYACINTHS.

EARLY FRENCH
ROMAN HYACINTHS.
A charming class of Hyacinths from the south of France
(quite distinct from the Dutch Hyacinths), producing graceful,
delicately perfumed spikes of flowers. They force readily in
the house. Three bulbs can be put in a 4-inch, or six bulbs in
a 6-inch pot or pan, and as each bulb produces several spikes it
makes a beautiful plant for conservatory or house decoration,
Their treatment is identical with the Dutch Hyacinth (see page
4), except that we do not recommend them for outdoor planting.
Early White. Pure white, one of the most valuable plants
for cut flowers. Millions of these are annually forced in the
United States. If potted at intervals from September to No-
vember can be had in flower from November till April.

4 fli LAUDE EATEN “BULBS: FOR: FALL PLANTING? |
| DUTCH HYACINTHS.
The Hyacinth is so well known and esteemed that any description of its many good qualities is needless. The list now
offered includes nearly every shade of red, white, blue, yellow, etc.
Outdoor Culture.—The bulbs may be planted any time from October to December—the earlier the better. They succeed
in any good, well-drained garden soil. Set the bulbs so that the tops will be 3 or 4 inches below the surface and 6 to 10 inches
apart. Before very severe weather comes on, cover the beds with straw, leaves or manure to protect them from the frost, but
care should be taken that this covering is not too thick, as the bulbs are as likely to be injured by being kept too warm as by
freezing; this should be removed in March, or when danger from hard frost is past.
Pot Culture.—Plantings may be made at any time from September to December, though October is the best time. A light,
rich soil, with a mixture of well-rotted cow or sheep manure, is most suitable. Use a 4 or 5-inch pot, and have the top of the
bulb just above the surface. After potting give a good watering and set away ina cool cellar or outhouse and cover over with
coal-ashes or some litter, until thoroughly rooted; this usually takes from 10 to 12 weeks. They may then be brought as wanted
for a succession of flowers int6 a moderately warm, light room.
Culture in Glasses.—When it is desired to grow Hyacinths in water, they should be placed so that the base of the bulb
merely touches the water. The glasses should then be set in a cool, dark closet, or in the cellar, until filled with roots, when
they may be brought into the light. Give as much fresh air as possible without letting the plants stand in a draught, and as nearly
as possible at a temperature of sixty degrees until the spikes are developed. To put them at once intoa room with a tempera-
ture of say 70 degrees would cause them to flower prematurely.

HE 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 necessary for their care and the low cost of planting a good-sized
bed, it is a matter of comment that larger plantings are not seen in private gardens. While mixed Hyacinths in the separate
colors (offered on page 6) are well adapted for bedding purposes, yet where a special design is wanted in which the colors mus!
be sharp and distinct, we advise using the Extra Selected Ist size or the Select 2d size 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,
The sizes of the following beds are 6 feet in diameter, Plant outside row 3 inches from edge of bed; each bed requires 108

SINGLE EARLY TULIPS.
ae Tulip is always attractive from its beauty and brilliancy of color, and is one of the popular 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 unusu-
ally fine, embracing all the choicest varieties, Tulips require cultural treatment similar to Hyacinths; the bulbs, being smaller,
should not be planted so deep. All the varieties named below are well adapted for pot culture, especially the Duc Van Thol
sorts, which can be forced into bloom for Christmas with but little trouble. Put 3 bulbs in 4-inch pot. We show in colors on
the cover of this catalogue six of the very best varieties, sorts which always give satisfactory results.
The figures prefixed indicate the average height in inches of each variety.
Beas Lf Tulips are wanted by. matl, add at the rate of 5 cents per dozen for postage.

TULIPS
This beautiful class is becoming more popular each season.
Within the last two years we have sold many thousands of
bulbs, and have received a large number of highly compli-
mentary reports as to their great beauty and usefulness. They
are quite distinct from the early-flowering sorts offered on the
preceding pages, coming into bloom in the vicinity of Phil-
adelphia about May 10th, or two to three weeks later than the
early-flowering types, and extending the Tulip season over
a period of four weeks or more. For the most part they
ie. hae been collected from the old Cottage Gaerne of
3 “‘\ England, Scotland and Ireland, where they have been,
in some cases, for over half a century. They are
said to be the offspring of Tulipa Gesneriana, and, while pos-
sessing infinite variety and brilliancy of color, all have. the
fine form and stately yet graceful character of the parent. On
account of their extreme hardiness, they are specially adapted
for the permanent hardy flower border, where they should be
liberally planted in clumps or masses. They may also be
naturalized in grass, wild gardens, etc. For bedding they are
superb, while as cut flowers they are much to be preferred
to the early type, having long stems with flowers of great
substance that stand cut in a perfect condition for a long time.
During the past three seasons we have tested over one hundred of the best
varieties, and offer the selection of sixteen sorts with every confidence
that they will give complete satisfaction. The heights given are actual
measurements taken at our trial grounds May 10th to 15th. These, of
course, are liable to vary according to soil and other conditions. In plant-
ing, the bulbs should be set a little deeper than ordinary Tulips, a
covering of 4 inches being about right.
Billietiama (22 inches). Brilliant golden-yellow pointed flowers, each
petal strikingly flamed with rosy scarlet; very showy. 365 cts. per doz.;
$2.50 per 100 ; $20.00 per 1000.
Bizarres (24 inches). An odd and striking class. The ground color
of the flowers is some shade of yellow quaintly marked, in a greater or
lesser degree, with brown, violet or crimson; mixed colors. 20 cts, per
doz.; $1.25 per 100; $10.00 per 1000.
Bouton d’Or, or Golden Beauty (21 inches). Rich, buttery orange- 4
yellow cup-shaped flowers, The anthers are black and make a striking
contrast with the yellow when the flowers are expanded. 30 cts.
per doz.; $1.75 per 100; $15 00 per 1000.
Golden Crown (22 inches). Large flowers with pointed petals, color
rich yellow, petals faintly edged with red; a good bedder. 20 cts. per
doz.; $1 25 per 1005 $10.00 per 1000.
Gesneriana spathulata (28 inches). A superb Tulip of strong yet
graceful growth, and bearing very large flowers of an intense bmilliant
crimson-scarlet with glittering blue-black centre. No words or picture
can begin to do this Tulip justice. It should be planted in generous
quantity. There are a number of inferior types of this Tulip. The
: Bs variety spathulata is the finest of all. 30 cts. perdoz.; $1.75 per 100;

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 Tournesols, are excellent for forcing. The latter sorts will not bear
forcing, but are very effective in beds or borders. A combination or solid bed of the
pure white and bright scarlet varieties, La Candeur and Rex Rubrorum, is especially
effective. The average height of each in inches is prefixed.

What we say on page 7 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 throw-
ing them out of place. When through flowering, the bulbs may be lifted and dried off, and used another year, or they may be
left in the ground. The following beds are 6 feet in diameter and require 156 bulbs, planted 5 inches apart each way, and are
made up of the fine sorts shown in color on the cover of this Catalogue.

Albicans. ‘The Great Spanish Daffodil.” Perianth white,

Bicolor Grandee (Grandis). Flowers of the largest size,
with broad, pure white petals, and yellow trumpets, late

HERE are no hardy bulbous plants which have
more points of merit than the Narcissus or
Daffodils. Perfectly hardy, growing and do-
ing well in almost any and every position, sun or
shade, moist or dry. All conditions 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. Three or four 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 Narcissus
do best, and once planted need no further attention,
the clumps multiplying and giving larger and finer
results each year, and from an original planting of
a few hundred bulbs in two or three years may be
cut thousands of flowers without missing them.
NOTE.—We offer Narcissus under 7 distinct
heads or types: first, the large trumpet varicties,
like Emperor and Empress; second, the medium
trumpet sorts, of which Sir Watkin and Mrs. Lang-
try are examples , third, the small trumpet kinds or
the Poeticus group ; fourth, the Hoop Petticoat sorts,
which really belong tn the large trumpet class;
tifth, the Jonquils; sixth, the Polyanthus or many-
Howered ; seventh, the double-ficwering sorts.
In describing Narcissus it is usual to give the
color of the trumpet or crown and the color of the
pertanth or petals surrounding the trumpet,
LARGE TRUMPET
NARCISSUS.
This class is the showiest of the genus and also
the most useful, growing easily either indoors or in
the open ground. Every one of the twelve sorts
offered are deserving of extensive planting, and you~

will get a bountiful harvest of blossoms in the spring.

DREER’S
Perfect Pzonies.
The Herbaceous Pzonies have always held an im-
portant place among hardy plants, and with the won-
derful improvements made during recent years have
established themselves among the leaders for popular
favor. Their requirements are so simple—a good, rich,
deep soil and an open, sunny position, if possible—
which, however, is not absolutely necessary, as they
thrive almost equally as well in a partly shaded posi-
tion, and a liberal supply of water during their grow-
ing season, being sufficient to give an abundance and
wealth of flowers which rival the finest roses in color-
ing, and produce during their flowering season a gor-
geous effect not equalied by any cther flower. They
are perfectly hardy, requiring no protection whatever
even in the most severe climate, are not troubled with
insect pests or disease of any kind, and once planted
take care of themselves, increasing in beauty each year.

SNOW DROPS (Galanthus).
The charming Snowdrop is the first of all flowers to herald the ap-
proach 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.

air. The list of plants offered below are the best known oxygenators, and there should be at least one plant to every two

CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER.
( Trifolium incarnatum.)
The Great Soil Improver, Early Green Feed, Grazing or
for Hay Crop.
Soiling, or early green feed, is important in the early spring.
As Crimson Clover is so much ahead of the pasture it can be
readily cut and carried to the stabled stock. It will not make
a second crop in time for turning under for green manure.
Fertilizer. This is one of the best uses to which Crimson
Clover is adapted. Its capacity for stooling and root form-
ation is very great; ike other plants it gathers nitrogen from
the air and stores it in the plants and roots, which become
valuable food for crops that follow.
Pasturage. When sown early enough to get a good start
Crimson Clover will make a splendid winter grazing for sheep
and cattle, and is the earliest pasture in spring,
Hay. Crimson Clover produces from 2 to 3 tons of cured Hay
per acre. To secure the best quality of Hay it should be cut
before full bloom, It cures very rapidly and should be care-
fully handled to retain as much leaf as possible, but the stalks
are very nutritious.

Add cost of bags (20 cts.) for each 2-bushel.
RAPE.
Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of the highest value.
It can be sown in this latitude as late as September, and still
later further South; it is sown broadcast at the rate of 10 lbs.
to the acre, but is better drilled, in which case 6 lbs. to the
acre are enough. Ina few weeks from time of sowing, sheep,
hogs or cattle can be turned on it, and all reports agree that
they gain weight faster on this than any other fodder. 15 cts.

SELECTED SEED WHEAT.
Pultzo-Mediterramean Wheat (Bald). A cross of Fultz
on Hybrid Mediterranean, which has absorbed the best quali-
ties of both. The heads are large and full of beautiful, plump,
red grains. The straw is stout and stiff, thereby enabling it to
stand up well. This new variety is producive, and makes a
crop of more than the average yield. Peck, 60 cts.; bus.,
$1.85. Add cost of bags (20 cts.) for each 2-bushel.
Improved Dietz Longberry Wheat (Bearded). This val-
uable early wheat will do well on all kinds of soil. Sown
either early or late, it always yields a large crop of choice
high-grade wheat, even after hard, icy winters. It is a very
close-chafed wheat, and holds the berry tight. Peck, 60 cts.;
bus., $1.70. Add cost of bag (20 cts.) for each 2-bushel.
Improved Fultz Wheat (c/d2). 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 medi-
um height, with stiff, strong straw, ripens early, and seldom
- - i fails to make a good crop. Peck, 50 cts.; bus., $1.70. Add
