38 HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 
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.
