HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Dreer's Famous Old Dutch 

 or Breeder Tulips 



This fine old May-flowering type has been neglected for many 

 years, but are 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 Darwin. 



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

 three 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 unusual color. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 



100; $90.00 per 1000. 



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

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

 golden bronze. 75 cts. per doz.; $5.50 per 100, $50.00 per 1000. 



Dom Pedro. A handsome and distinct tulip of rich coffee-brown 



shaded maroon; inside mahogany-red. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 



per 100; $90.00 per 1000. 

 Feu Ardent. A striking brick-red shaded mahogany. Very 



large cup-shaped blooms. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; 



$90.00 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. 



Owing to a generous crop' we are able to offer these at less than 



one half the usual price. $1 50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 



per 1000. 

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