10 Dreer's Autumn Catalogue, 1899. 



DOUBLE TULIPS. 



While not equal to the si.igle in brilliancy, the double varieties 

 last much longer in bloom. The early varieties, such as Due Van 

 Thol, Murillo, Titian, Rex Rubrorum, and the Tournesols, are 

 excellent for forcing. The later sorts will not bear forcing as well 

 as the early varieties, but are very effective in beds or borders. 

 The height of each in inches is prefixed.

CROCUS. 



This brilliant and universally admired spring flower will thrive in any soil or situation, but to be brought to the highest per- 

 fection 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 1 

 inch deep with soil, until the leaves appear, when they may be removed to the house.
