HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Dreer's Famous Old Dutch 

 or Breeder Tulips 



This fine old May-flowering type is again exceedingly popular; 

 in fact they have, for the past two or three years, been given great 

 prominence in many of the strictly up-to-date gardens. They are 

 very similar to the Darwins in their tall, strong growth, and with 

 even larger flowers, and bloom about the same time, but have an 

 entirely different range of colors, comprising bronze, terra-cotta, 

 orange brown and other artistic tones that are altogether wanting 

 in the Darwins. 



We made a very exhaustive test of a great many kinds the past 

 few seasons and the list offered below represents the best and 

 most distinct sorts. 



Apricot. An attractive large flower of bronzy-buff shaded 

 ruddy apricot, an ususual color. $1.15 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; 

 $70.00 per 1000. 



Bronze Queen. A finely formed large bronzy-yellow flower, 

 the color being a soft buff, suffused with bronzy apricot; inside 

 golden bronze. 90 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



Dom Pedro. Sweet scented marvel of coloring. Each petal 

 margined golden brown, softer brown below, inside glistening 

 maroon red on yellow and olive base. Exquisitely rounded 

 cups on 24 inch stems. These cups are filled with perfume. 

 If you know this variety, you will want it again. $1.20 per 

 doz.; $8.50 per 100; $75.00 per 1000. 



Godet Parf ait. Deep purple violet, very large flower of striking 

 beauty. $1.20 per doz.; $8.50 per 100; $75.00 per 1000. 



Golden Bronze. A lovely variety of light bronze-yellow 

 edged and shaded golden-yellow. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; 

 $60.00 per 1000. 



Louis XIV. Considered the most wonderful of all tulips. Very 

 large goblet shaped flowers, of a bluish purple with golden 

 brown margin and flushed bronze, a most striking variety. 

 We are again able to offer these at less than one-half the usual 

 price. $1.15 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; $70.00 per 1000. 



Panorama or Fairy. One of the best, flowers of large size of 

 deep orange-red or terra-cotta shaded mahogany. 90 cts. per 

 doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000.
