HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— FLOWERING BULBS 



Old Dutch or 

 Breeder Tulip 



Dreer's Superb Double Tulips 



While not equal to the single in brilliancy, the double varie- 

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

 Murillo, Imperator Rubrorum, and Tournesol, are excellent for 

 forcing. The later sorts will not bear forcing, but are very 

 effective in beds or borders. A combination or solid bed of the 

 pure white and bright scarlet varieties, Boule de Neige and 

 Rubra Maxima is especially effective. 

 Boule de Neige, A splendid pure white flower, very large.
