DREER, PHILADELPHIA—SPRING FLOWERING BULBS Narcissus Incomparabilis Autocrat Star Narcissus or Daffodils This class is also known as the chalice-cup or medium trumpets, and com- prises some of the most beautiful and graceful forms.

The petals are very long, giving the flowers a distinct and outstanding character. 30 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Conspicuus (Barrii), Perianth soft yellow; broad,spreading cup, magnificently illuminated with scarlet; a most distinct and beauti- ful sort, and should be grown in quantity for cutting, as it lasts longer when cut than most sorts. 12 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100.

A small flower when compared to the latest introductions, but not inferior to any of the most expensive in brilliancy. Very free flowering when established a year or more. 15 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Lady Moore (Barrii). Snow white perianth, yellow cup with deep orange edge.

A charming flower, large spreading pure white perianth, cup canary yellow edged apricot. Fine for cutting, a strong, free grower with blue-green foliage, height
