Dreer’s Autumn Catalogue, 1898. 
DOUBLE TULIPS. 
While not equal to the single in brilliancy, the double vari- 
eties last much longer in bloom. The early varieties, such as 
Duc Van Thol, Murillo, Titian, Rex Rubrorum, and the Tour- 
nesols, are excellent for forcing, The later sorts will not bear 
forcing as well as the early varieties, but are very effective in beds 
gor borders. The height of each in inches is prefixed.

m CROCUS. 
This brilliant and universally admired spring flower will thrive in any soil or situation, but to be brought to the highest perfection 
it should be grown in an open bed or border of deep, rich, sandy loam. When planted in large groups or lines of distinct colors, 
the effect is very striking, and the bulbs are now offered so cheap as to justify their liberal use. They are invaluable for pot-culture. 
To secure a succession of blooms commence planting early in October, 6 or 8 bulbs in a pot (the named varieties are best for this 
purpose), using rich soil, and planting about an inch deep. Place the pots on a surface of ashes, cover the top | inch deep with soil, 
until the leaves appear, when they may be removed to the house. 
NAMED CROCUS. 
These are large bulbs of the best and most beautiful varieties, and are remarkable for richness of color and the immense size of 
their flowers. Doz. 100. 1000.
