DREER’S SUPREME HYACINTHS

Hyacinths are perfectly hardy in all parts of the United States and Canada. They come into bloom outdoors at the same time as the midseason Tulips. The bulbs must be planted in the fall to bloom the following spring. In the garden, place them with the base 5 to 6 inches below the soil level. Be sure to plant the bulbs all at the same depth as otherwise they might not flower at the same time. Beside their value for garden display they are exceedingly popular for flowering in the house. For this purpose the Mammoth or the Extra-Large bulbs should be chosen.

Narcissus

Daffodils

Medium Trumpet or Chalice Cup

The Chalice-Cup or Medium-Trumpet group of Daffodils or Narcissus includes some of the most beautiful varieties. In the Incomparabilis group the cup or crown is not less than 14 of the perianth petals, whereas in the Barri group the cup is less than 4% the length of the perianth segments. In the Leedsi group the size of the cup varies but the perianth always is white and the cup or crown is either white, cream, or has a pinkish tint. All of them are splendid for naturalizing because they are

reliably hardy and they multiply more rapidly than those belonging to

the Giant-Trumpet class.

Those who have proper facilities will find them excellent also for growing in, pots or pans. For best effect in the garden they should be planted in groups.

DREER’S GERMAN IRIS

For a Riot of Color in May and June

We have yet to plant German Iris in a place they would not grow—sun or shade; banks or terraces; moist or dry. They grow and multiply and yield a prodigious amount of bloom through May and June. Two firm rules to follow

in planting are: 1. No fresh manure.

2. “Knuckles up,” that is. the tops of the rhizomes (roots) should show just

above the surface of the ground when planted. For fertilizer use dried sheep or cow manure or bone meal.

September or October is the best time to plant.

Angelus. 3 ft. One of the very finest orchid-pink Iris. The blooms, heavily textured, are ideally spaced on a well-branched stalk. A new self with a shimmering mauve iridescence on the falls. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75.

Buffawn. 3 ft. Buff-fawn with a brilliant tangerine beard. Pronounced flaring blooms of light tan color with a pinkish glow; prominent red-orange beard. 75c each; 3 for $2.00; 12 for $7.00.

Copper Lustre. 3 ft. Instantly distinguishable from other Iris is this large, odd and beautiful copper-toned flower overlaid with a golden iridescence. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75.

Destiny. 3 ft. A rich, somber-toned variety with ex- ceedingly velvety black plum-purple falls and standards and rich gold beard. An effective very dark Iris. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75.

Elmohr. 3 ft. One of the most exciting and talked-of Iris we have grown in years. An exquisite shade of rich, reddish mulberry, incredibly glossy and lustrous; the color seems to smolder as if some interior source of light were seeping out. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.00.

Elsa Sass. 3 ft. Enticing ‘“lemon-ice’ toned yellow, an entirely new shade. Cool and frost-like sulphur-

yellow with a white blaze near the haft. Elongated blooms of medium size, frilled at the edges. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75.

Garden Magic. 3 ft. A top-flight red. Flowers of

smooth, velvety-toned vivid red on medium tall stems. Rich color, good substance and form. Not a fast grow- er, it takes about two years to give its best perform- ance. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75.

Golden Majesty. 3 ft. A very fine golden yellow, glis- tening smooth and unfading. The good-sized, gleaming gold blooms are of majestic classic form. 75c each; 3 for $2.00; 12 for $7.00.

Great Lakes. 3 ft. Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1942, this is about the finest light pure blue. Of good size and form, with a pronounced flare and stiff, crisp petal texture, it is most striking. Rugged and hardy, we highly recommend it. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75.

Gudrun. 2% ft. A splendid white for fore-ground plant- ing. A very large variety with shapely blooms of ex- cellent texture. Warm white despite its snowy color- ing, due in part to the warm golden beard. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75.

Lighthouse. 3 ft. A most unusual coalition of colors— clear old-rose standards and rose-red falls. A torch- like center of yellow sends streams of gold from the heart of the flower. 75c each; 3 for $2.00.

Marquita. 3 ft. Its luminous cream standards are the last word in serene but warm exquisiteness. The water- melon-rose falls are veined rather than solidly colored. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75.

Miss California. 314 ft. An enormous flower of lilac- pink, a pleasing tone, with a lemon-yellow beard. A prolific variety and a most satisfactory garden subject. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75.

Missouri. 3 ft. The giant blooms of faultless form and heavy enameled texture are a clear rich shade of medium blue. In every way a splendid Iris. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.75.

Morocco Rese. 3 ft. Delectable rose-pink. The warm coloring gives a soft yellow glow at the heart; a pleas- ing yellow beard. Popular and in heavy demand. Takes two years to become established. 75c each; 3 for $2.00; 12 for $7.00.

Two sensational New Roses. Not just a new color, but a new type. Strong bushy plants, practically mildew proof and quite resistant to Black Spot.

Crimson Rosette. (Plant Patent Applied for.) The striking crimson scarlet of these lovely blooms is en- hanced by the deep glossy green of the foliage.

In addition they bloom without in- terruption from early summer until hard frost arrives in late fall. They are easy to grow and exceptionally winter hardy.

White Finch

Improved Lafayette. Brilliant flowers of medium size borne most abundantly on sturdy plants. The deep glowing red blooms are vividly suffused with crimson and large clusters of them give an impressive garden display. Also very fine for cutting. $1.25 each.
