elongated form gives it particular charm. Unrivaled for bedding purposes.

play value. 22 inches. 3 for 22c; 12 for 75c; 100 for $5.50.

12 for 75c; 100 for $5.50.

Prince of Wales. A scintillating cherry red with enormous flowers worthy
of a place in every garden. The richness of its color and the sparkle of its

good height. 28inches. 3 for 25c; 12 for 85c; 100 for $6.00.

. Dreer’s Super Giant Trumpet

These Super-Giant Trumpet varieties are quite distinct from
the Giant Trumpets which we have placed in a class by themselves
| (see page 13). The Super-Giants have flowers which are truly of
| huge size with trumpets which besides being very large are out-
standing, forming broad, flaring trumpets with attractively
undulated edges. Like all Narcissus they are easy to grow and
the bulbs should be planted in the fall in a well-prepared soil at
a depth not less than 4 times the height of the bulb. They are
| perfectly hardy and may remain for years in the same spot. Other

flowers may be grown right on top of them on account of the

bulb being located below the root system of our average annual
or perennial plants. You will find in our list all the very finest
| varieties.

|
|

| Every year we receive many favorable expressions from our
| customers telling us of the exceptionally fine results they have
from the high quality Narcissus bulbs which we are sending out.
On some varieties we offer extra double-nosed bulbs which are still

Four Old Favorite Large Trumpet Narcissus
For Beds, Borders, and for Naturalizing

We have placed these four varieties of Giant Trumpet Narcissus
in a class by themselves as they are sufficiently different from the
Super-Giant Trumpet varieties listed on the previous pages to
deserve a special classification.

All four are older varieties which in their days were the largest
to be had in the trumpet class but today they are surpassed by the
others as far as size is concerned. But what they lack in size they
make up in hardiness and persistence. For that reason they are
unsurpassed where beds and borders are wanted that will not only
give blooms for many years to come but where the number of
bulbs will increase every year until the planting becomes so
crowded that replanting will be necessary. They are superb for
naturalizing.

Emperor. This grand variety though surpassed in size by some
of the newer ones is one of the finest Daffodils in cultivation.
Has a rich primrose perianth and a substantial pure yellow
trumpet of large size. Excellent for bedding, naturalizing, or
pot growing indoors. Extra double-nosed bulbs: 3 for 45c; 12 for
$1.40; 100 for $10.00.

Empress. A fitting companion to Emperor and of as strong,
robust growth. The fine large perianth is snow white contrast-
ing well with the rich yellow trumpet which is attractively
serrated and flanged at the edges. Extra double-nosed bulbs:
3 for 45c; 12 for $1.40; 100 for $10.00.

Giant Princeps. Extra fine for naturalizing and for forcing
indoors. The sulphur white perianth harmonizes well with the
rich yellow trumpet. It is a most popular variety. Extra
double-nosed bulbs: 3 for 35c; 12 for $1.10; 100 for $7.50.

Double Narcissus

The Double Narcissus possess unusual charm. They
are splendid for garden planting as they are perfectly
hardy and if used for cutting they last even longer
than any of the other types. We recommend them
particularly for mass planting or if used in smaller
quantities six to a dozen bulbs should be planted
together in groups among perennials as it is in that
way that they make their finest showing.

small pure yellow petals and large pure white
petals. Long-stemmed and very graceful. 3 for

Three Fragrant Narcissus
for Growing Indoors
in Pebbles and Water

Paper White Polyanthus Narcissus

Narcissus polyanthus
Large-Flowering Paper White

This is everybody’s flower for forcing in the house during the winter and
early spring. Very easy to grow in water and pebbles, in prepared bulb fiber,
or in pots filled with soil.

Best results are obtained if the first plantings are not made until November.
They always do best if grown in a cool room. It is advisable to purchase
sufficient bulbs early in the season to permit several plantings during the
winter and spring. The bulbs will keep in perfect condition in a cool dry
spare room or cellar. The later the season the quicker they will come into
bloom requiring only 12 days to come into flower if planted around Easter.

Mammoth Bulbs. 3 for 18c; 12 for 60c; 100 for $4.00
Monster Bulbs. 3 for 20c; 12 for 70c; 100 for $5.00
Jumbo Bulbs. 3 for 25c; 12 for 85c; 100 for $6.00

Soleil d’Or or Golden Sun

As easy to grow as the Paper Whites but just a little slower. Produces
large clusters of rich golden yellow flowers with a deep orange-red cup. The
blooms have an exquisite fragrance which however is quite different from that
of the Paper Whites. Monster bulbs 3 for 50c; 12 for $1.75; 100 for $12.00.

Chinese Sacred Lily

Narcissus Tazetta orientalis
Joss Flower, Flower of the Gods, Soy Sin Far

Of even stronger habit than the Polyanthus Narcissus with showy blooms
combining a pure white perianth with a golden cup. Its fragrance is as rich
as the others but distinct in sweetness and character. Excellent for growing
in pebbles and water, in soil-filled pans, or in prepared bulb fiber. We are
pleased to be able to again offer our patrons this grand old favorite which is
so easy to grow. 3 for 50c; 12 for $1.75; 100 for $12.00.

rare bulbous plants

Calochortus—The Mariposa or Butterfly
Tulip—A lovely native Western bulbous
plant which has proved entirely hardy in
our Eastern States.

Hardy Flowering Bulbs

Even before the last of the snow has melted the little Snowdrops lure us into the garden
as they bravely lift their white bells above the remaining snow. Winter Aconite too with
its bright yellow bloom often flowers as early as the Snowdrops. While these are still in full
bloom the showy little Chionodoxa or Glory of the Snow lifts its bright blue flowers above
the rich green foliage. The earliest of the Crocus that brighten the garden are followed
shortly by Scillas, Grape Hyacinths, and Giant Crocus. Soon afterwards the Fritillaria
and Lily of the Valley make their debut with Anemone, Calochortus, Erythronium,
Leucojum, and Rannunculus to succeed them.

Hardy Amaryllis Halli—Lycoris Squamigera

Few gardeners know that there is a real hardy Amaryllis for garden planting. Plant the
bulbs 8 inches deep and cover the ground securely with leaves during the winter months.
The bulb starts to make foliage in the spring but by July this will have died down. The
greater is the surprise when soon afterwards sturdy, strong spikes arise from the soil,
bearing beautiful, large, fragrant pink blooms arranged in showy large clusters. Planted in
well-drained soil and in a sunny position the bulbs are permanent to give yearly their interest-
ing display of flowers. $1.00 each.

Giant Poppy-Flowered Anemones

These are easy to grow in a cold frame or in the garden if protected by a bottomless box
sunk a few inches into the soil and covered with a pane of glass. Also splendid for green-
house or conservatory.

Giant French Mixed (De Caen). Includes a wonderful range of beautiful colors such
as blue, white, rose, scarlet, etc. 3 for 15c; 12 for 50c; 100 for $3.00.

Blue Poppy. A particularly fine large single variety with lovely, well formed, blue
flowers not unlike a blue Poppy. 3 for 18c; 12 for 65c; 100 for $4.00.

His Excellency. The large substantial flower petals are a brilliant deep scarlet color.
Borne on fine long stems. 3 for 18c; 12 for 65c; 100 for $4.00.

St. Brigid (Creagh Castle Strain). This is a famous Irish strain of semi-double flowering
Anemones coming in a multitude of charming colors ranging from pure white to the
deepest maroon and including a wide range of intermediate shades such as rose, red,
pink, blue, etc. 3 for 18c; 12 for 65c; 100 for $4.00.

Brodiaea A

Mixed. These are lovely little bulbs native
to our westerm states. They bloom in the
spring and do well in shaded positions as
under trees or in the gritty crevices of a
deep rock garden pocket. Plant them as
early in the fall as available and cover
2 inches deep with fine soil. They bear
their showy little star-shaped blooms during
May and June. Leavethem alone after plant-
ing as they are perfectly hardy just giving
them a little winter protection. 3 for 18c;
12 for 60c; 100 for $4.00.

Calochortus A
Mariposa or Butterfly Tulip

Mixed. Another class of western bulbs which
have a charm all their own. Those we offer
here in mixture are perfectly hardy or they
may also be grown in cold-frames or pots.
Plant the small bulbs as soon as they can be
obtained in the fall and cover them with about
2 inches of fine soil. Good drainage is needed
but any good garden soil is suited for them.
Space the bulbs about 2 inches apart in a
sheltered spot where they receive some sun-
light. They are always admired for their rich
color and beautiful form. 3 for 25c; 12 for
75c; 100 for $5.00. Camassia Leichtlini

Camassia Leichtlini

A hardy and showy bulbous plant which will do well in the border or naturalized in an
open, moderately moist woodland. Cover the bulbs 4 inches deep with fine sandy soil. Bears
during June stately spikes, 4 feet high, covered with large, star-shaped blooms of a lovely
bright blue color. A very interesting and showy American plant. 3 for 35c; 12 for $1.25;

Beautiful Lilies -LILIUM—

Among the most beautiful plants we can have
in our gardens are the Lilies. They are so easy
to grow and give a wonderful effect. Wherever
one sees them they universally elicit admiration
for they are indeed glorious in every way. As
they take little room they may be used gener-
ously for planting in the perennial border where
their towering spikes reign supreme during the
summer. In fact the shade cast upon the soil
by low growing perennials creates ideal condi-
tions for Lilies.

Dutch, Spanish, & English Iris

These Bulbous Iris must be planted in the Fall

These Iris differ from the Bearded and Japanese in producing bulbs instead of rhizomes.
These must be planted in the fall, the earlier the better and they have proved quite hardy,
but where winters are very severe they should be covered deeply with straw, hay, or leaves.
It is their natural habit to form foliage in the fall with the leaves persisting throughout the
winter. Cover the bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep.

Hybrid-Perpetual
Roses

This type of Roses was-the most popular for garden planting

outstanding and no gardener interested in Roses can afford to
overlook them. They are vigorous growers producing an abundance
of large, showy, long stemmed blooms during June. Valuable for
garden planting and equally fine for cutting.

Red-Leaved Japanese Barberry

New Red-Leaved Japanese Barberry
Berberis Thunbergi atropurpurea (M)

Similar in all respects to the green-leaved Japanese Barberry
which is so popular for mixing in the shrubbery border, as single
specimens, or for planting in clumps on the lawn, as well as for

leaved Japanese Maples. As the season advances this new
Barberry becomes more brilliant and gorgeous and in the fall its
foliage changes to shades of vivid orange, scarlet, and red.

All that is required to develop its brilliant coloring at all seasons
is that it be planted in full exposure to the sun.

For Autumn Sowing

Early autumn is a favorite time with many gardeners to sow perennial flower seeds. To
hasten them along a cold frame or a similar temporary structure should be used.

But there are a number of others, which give best results if the seed is sown late in the fall.
They need the action of frost to sprout freely during the coming spring. We have marked
this type in our list with a star (*).

To help our customers in selecting varieties for the rock garden we have used the symbol
A\ to identify them at a glance.
Plants suited for the semi-shade are marked © and those that will grow in
deeper shade @. Practically all of these also do well in a sunny position.

These varieties also are splendid for dwarf beds, borders,

southern states and in sub-tropical countries where the summer flowering varieties will not bloom satisfac-

torily. Dreer’s Summer-F lowering mixture sown in the north late in the fall will bloom the following spring.

Early Fall is the Ideal Time to Sow
DREER’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES

The ideal time to sow a new lawn or resow an old one is early fall.

At no other time of the

year is the weather so favorable to the germination of the seed and the development of the
young plants.

Sunshine is abundant.

of late spring and summer.

Rain fall usually is plentiful yet there are no torrential rains like those of spring.
It is a warm yet kindly sun that does not burn like the scorching rays
Fall grass and crab grass have done their worst for the season
and cannot sprout unexpectedly to choke out the finer growth.

Summer droughts are almost

a full year away and by that time the root system of the new lawn will be well established.

“The Dreer” Lawn Grass
The Unequalled Mixture for a Beautiful Lawn

The first and most important requisite for the establishment of
a really good lawn is the correct choice of grass seed varieties
which make a dwarf compact growth and have a rich deep
green color. The Dreer Lawn Grass has been carefully prepared
in accordance with our own formula which has proved to give a
rich green, smooth, velvety lawn oi fine texture altogether free from
grasses which are inclined to produce clumps or knots. The
grasses included are permanent and of good color. They are
all strictly lawn grasses.

Each variety of grass in this composition is included for a special
purpose. The strong fibrous roots of certain ones take hold of
the soil and contribute considerably toward the permanence
of the sod. Other grasses in the mixture are of a creeping habit.
They are most essential as they quickly fill up the entire surface
and weave the sod into a thick carpet of green. And there are
others which help the density and protect the lawn against rain
damage. The Dreer Lawn Grass is the ideal mixture for small
and large lawns.

Lawn Grass, produces a beautiful and permanent lawn. It is
made according to our own formula and is composed of grasses
which are adapted to the putpose of producing turf which retains
its rich green color and velvety appearance throughout the entire
summer and fall. In making up this brand we are careful to use
only seed that has been thoroughly recleaned.

Grass Mixtures for

*‘Shady Place’’ Lawn Grass

We highly recommend this special mixture for shaded locations
as under trees where the general mixtures usually fail to produce
a good thick turf. It contains extra fine, heavy, and choice
grass seed which will produce a thick and rich growth of deep

_green grass of a permanent nature.

**Terrace’’ Lawn Grass
Terraces and steep slopes require a special mixture of lawn
grasses that have an abundant and deep root system to hold the
soil in place and prevent washing by heavy rains. Our terrace
grass is a carefully prepared combination including Bent Grass
that makes a strong mat of rich green turf.

*‘Seashore’’ Lawn Grass

A rich green lawn is especially desirable at the seashore but
success depends entirely upon sowing mixtures that contain
special grasses suited to such locations. As grass will not grow in
sand it will be necessary to topdress the surface with from two to
four inches of good soil.

soil conditions, giving good results even on small city grass plots
where the soil is frequently stiff and heavy. It will form a thick
turf in a very short time and is well suited to lawns and other ~
spaces receiving considerable hard wear. It also is valuable
for use on embankments and terraces, also for renovating old,
worn-out lawns.

with exceptional wearing qualities.

clover in their lawn because of its resistance to heat and its
ability to build up the soil. Sow about 2 ounces to each pound
of grass seed but sow separately to secure an even distribution.
