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 tail, 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 oiJered below represents the best and 

 most distinct sorts, six of which are illustrated in colors on the 

 back cover of this catalogue. 



Apricot. An attractive large flower of bronzy-buff shaded 

 ruddy apricot, an unusual color. Sl-50 per doz.; $10.00 per

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