DREER'S SUPERB DARWIN TULIPS. 



We illustrate six'of the varieties offered below on the cover of this catalogue. 

 This magnificent May-flowering class has within the past few years, by sheer force of their many merits, forged their way into 

 popularity by leaps and bounds and are now grown by almost everybody who loves spring flowers; they are quite distinct in style of 

 growth from the other late-flowering sorts; stately in appearance, attaining a height of 24 to 30 inches, and bearing on strong stems 

 beautiful globular flowers of remarkably heavy texture, in a large range of colors, embracing almost every conceivable tint in rose, 

 heliotrope, claret, maroon, crimson, and other rich and rare shades. The only shade of color in which they are deficient is yellow, 

 and for this the May-flowering Tulip Inglescombe Yellow offered on opposite page supplies the wanted color perfectly. Unsur- 

 passed for bedding and for cutting. The eighteen sorts offered below were selected out of a large collection as being the best and
