HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA-SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



De Luxe Darwin Tui 



DREER'S 

 DARWIN TULIPS 



This magnificent May-flowering class has by 

 sheer force of its many merits forged its way 

 to popularity. 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 long strong 

 straight stems beautiful globular flowers of re- 

 markably heavy texture. The only color in 

 which they are deficient is yellow, and for this 

 the Cottage Tulip Inglescombe Yellow, as well 

 as the other yellow sorts supplies the wanted 

 color perfectly.
