8 Dreer’s Autumn Catalogue, 1898. 
OS he ree 
a Tulip is always attractive from its beauty and brilliancy of color, and 
is one of the most popular of 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 unus- 
ually 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.
