40 HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 
Dreer’s Cottage Garden Tulips 
This beautiful class is quite distinct from the early flowering, Darwin and other sorts offered, 
coming into bloom in the vicinity of Philadelphia about May 10th. On account of their extreme 
hardiness, and long lasting qualities, they are specially adapted for the permanent hardy flower 
border. They may also be naturalized in grass, wild gardens, etc. For bedding they are superb, 
while as cut flowers, having long stems with flowers of great substance, they stand in perfect 
condition for along time. In planting, the bulbs should be set a little deeper than early tulips, 
a covering of 4 inches being about right.
