O succeed with bulbs it is neccssary to begin right, by getting sound bulbs of good size, and we would warn intending purchasers against buying cheap, undersized bulbs and expect the fine results obtained from 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. 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, 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. A FEW CULTURAL HINTS. WHEN TO PLANT.—To the beginner we would emphasize the fact that Atwmn and not Springtime is the time to plant all kinds of spring-flowering 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 are forwarded as soon as ready. 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 drainage. In planting, 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 late 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 the time for replanting the following autumn. INDOOR CULTURE.—Bulbs intended for blooming during the winter can be planted from September until Novemher—the earlier the better—in pans, pots 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 placed in a cool greenhouse, cellar or room, at a temperature of fifty degrees. They will need occasion- ally, moderate watering after they are brought inside. Or the pans, pots or boxes may be placed at once, after potting, in a cool, dark cellar, watering well and cover 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 degrees, before you begin to force the tops at 60 degrees 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, ‘*«DREER’S HINTS ON THE GROWING OF BULBS.’’—This is the title of a little book now in course of preparation in which we will endeavor to give all the essential details for the growing of the various bulbs offered in this Catalogue. A copy will be sent free to all purchasers of bulbs if asked for at time of ordering, ROUND BULB OR LILY PANS. GLASSES FOR HYACINTHS. The professional gardener invariably uses these in preference | The culture of Hyacinths in glasses has always been popular, to pots for growing bulbs in, and amateurs are now also using them extensively; they present a neater appearance than pots and are better adapted for table use.

The list now offered in- cludes nearly every shade of red, white, blue, yellow, etc. For complete cultural notes see Dreer’s Hints on the Growing of Bulbs, free to customers if asked for at time of ordering. Outdoor Culture.—The bulls may be planted any time from October to December. 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; this should be removed when danger from hard frost is past. Pot Culture.—Plantings may be made at any time from September to December. A light rich soil, or Prepared Fibre, is most suitable. Use a 4 or 5-inch pot, and have the tops of the bulbs just above the surface. After potting give a good watering, and set away in a cool cellar or outhouse and cover with coal-ashes or some litter, until thoroughly rooted. During this period be careful that they do not become dry. They may then be brought as wanted for a succession of flowers into the house, keeping them in a very cool light room until the flower spikes are developed, when they may be placed in the dining or sitting room or wherever they are wanted. 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 ina cool, dark closet, or in the cellar. until filled with roots, when they may be brought into the light. A piece of charcoal about an inch in diameter, placed in each glass, will keep the water sweet. Give as much fresh air as possible, and at a temperature of not over sixty degrees, until the spikes are developed. To put them at once into a room with a temperature of say seventy degrees would cause them to flower prematurely. Select Second=-size Named 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 pan or pot, 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 3) 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 November can be had in flower from November till April.

[tena Deeee-PHTTADEEORTA DAES} COLLECTIONS OF HYACINTHS FOR BEDS. <<) Few 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 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 individ- ual spikes of flowers, which well repays for the slight increase in cost. Cultural notes will be found on page 3. We might add that Hyacinth bulbs in some soils will do well fora number of years without litting or replanting. When through flowering, the beds may be sown or planted with shallow-rooted plants, such as Petunias, Verbenas, Por- tulaca, etc., which will keep the beds bright throughout the summer and in no way hurt the bulbs, CIRCULAR BED OF Hyacintus“‘A ”’ The size of these beds are 6 feet in diameter; each bed requires 114 bulbs, planted 6 inches apart each way.

DREER’S DREER’S SELECT SINGLE EARLY TULIPS. The 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 groups, they become at once grand and brilliant, and eclipse in variety of coloring and picturesque effect almost any other flower. We only offer such kinds as can be used with perfect success either indoors or out in the garden. Tulips require cultural treatment similar to Hyacinths; the bulbs, being smaller, should not be planted so deep. When grown indoors, put 6 bulbs in a 6-inch pan or pot. To assist in the selection of varieties that grow to the same height and bloom together, we give directly after the name of each variety the average height in inches; those marked E come into bloom first, followed by those marked M, while the varieties marked L are the latest.

This beautiful class is now very popular. They are quite distinct from the early-flowering sorts offered on the preceding pages, coming into bloomin the vicinity of Philadelphia 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. 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, having long stems with flowers of great substance, they stand in perfect condition for a long time. The heights given are actual measurements, taken at our trial grounds May 10th to 15th. In planting, the bulbs should be set a little deeper than early Tulips, a covering of 4 inches being about right. Bizarres (24 inches). An odd and striking class.

There are no hardy bulbous plants which have more points of merit than the Narcissus 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, Hl although they havea preference for a good, deep soil and a semi-shaded position, and every vacant corner in the garden, amongst the grass, under the trees, etc., etc., could not be used to better advantage P. than by filling with Narcissus, and every hardy ; Fy border should have a number of clumps interspersed - through it. They are equally suitable for pot cul- ture or for winter flowering. Three or four bulbs can be put into a 5-inch or 6-inch pan or pot, and, be 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 mullti- ad plying and giving larger and finer results each year, and “ from an original planting of a few hundred bulbs in two Z or three years may be cut thousands of flowers without \ missing them. We import only the highest grade of bulbs, mostly double nose or mother bulbs, which will produce several flowers each, and must not be compared to the smaller, cheaper grade usually sent out. In describing Narcissus tt is usual to give the color of the trumpet or crown and the color of the periunth or petals surrounding the trumpet. Six or more bulbs of a kind at the dozen rate; 25 or more at the 100 rate; 250 or more at the 1000 rate. Giant Trumpet Narcissus Giory oF Lerpen, (Offered on opposite page.) Giant Trumpet Narcissus.

The entire balance in late October and November. The genus embraces a vast number of species; we, however, confine our list to such as are of easy culture, and give the best results with the least care. Itis in the hardy border, or among shrubbery, that Lilies do best, as they get the benefit of the shade of the surrounding plants, which is so necessary for their welfare. In planting, cover the bulbs at least three times their own depth, and when hard frost sets in, 4 to 6 inches of leaves or litter should be placed over them; this should be removed in the spring, when danger from hard frost is past. When grown in pots it is advisable to begin with the smallest 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 plant should be liberally watered during the period of growth and flowering. Our new book, ‘‘Dreer’s Hints on the Growing of Bulbs,’’ contains very full directions on the growing of Hardy Lilies. Copies free to customers who ask for it when ordering. Croceum (Orange Lily).

The simplest method for indoor culture is to place a bundle of 25 pips in a 7 or 8 inch pot, filling itup with sand, moss, prepared fibre or light soil, allowing the points of the pips to be about an inch above the surface. ‘They should then be placed out of doors and brought indoors as wanted, and put ina shaded place in a temperature of about 70 degrees, and when the spikes are 3 or 4 inches high they may be brought to where they are to perfect their flowers. 3y having a number of pots and bringing in at intervals, a con- tinuous display can be had throughout the winter and spring months, We recommend clumps as most suitable for outdoor planting.

The old-fashioned Pzeony officinalis in our grand- mother’s garden, while still popular because of their early flowering, have been eclipsed by the wonderfully improved sorts introduced in recent years. They are the ‘‘Queen of Spring Flowers,’’ and are well adapted for massing in beds, and particularly valuable for plant- ing in groups throughout the perennial or shrubbery border, where their brilliant hues add attraction to all around. ‘Their requirements are so simple—a good, rich, deep soil, and an open, sunny position; which, however, is not absolutely necessary, as they thrive almost equally as well in a partly shaded position, and a liberal supply of water during their growing season being sufficient to give an abundance and wealth of flowers, which rival the finest Roses in coloring and fragrance, and produce during their flowering season a gorgeous effect not equalled by any other flower. They are perfectly hardy, requiring no pro- tection whatever, even in the most severe climate, and once planted increase in beauty each year. An important point to observe in the planting of Herbaceous Pzeonies is not to plant too deep. The roots should be placed so that the crowns are covered with 2 inches of soil. Too deep planting is a fre- quent cause of shy flowering. TWELVE FINEST HERBACEOUS PZEONIES. Asa Gray. Bright lilac, sprinkled with minute dots of deeper lilac as if dusted on; very large. Berlioz.

(ES/-BULBS: FOR-FALL PLANTING |} {[ SPIR4ZEA OR ASTILBE. (Ready in November.) As a pot plant for the cool conservatory or window garden this is one of the most satisfactory and easiest to grow; the clumps or roots should be put into pots or pans just large enough to hold them, as soon as received in November, given a thorough watering and set outside in a sheltered position and covered with ashes or litter. For Easter flowering bring them into the house from eight to ten weeks in advance of that date. For the best results keep them cool and give plenty of water. Also very desirable for the hardy border, blooming outdoors in June, and prefer a partially shaded position. Gladstone.
