HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



StTER-SupERB Darwin Tulips 



DREER'S SUPERB 



DARWIN 



TULIPS 



This magnificent May-flowering class has 

 within the past few years by sheer force of 

 their many merits forged their way to popu- 

 larity by leaps and bounds, and are now grown 

 by almost everj'body who loves spring flowers; 

 they are quite distinct in style of growth from 

 the other late flowering sorts; stately in ap- 

 pearance attaining a height of 24 to 30 inches, 

 and bearing on long strong straight stems 

 beautiful globular flowers of remarkably heavy 

 texture, in a large range of colors, embracing 

 almost every conceivable tint in rose, heliotrope, 

 claret, maroon, crimson and othef rich and rare 

 shades. The only color in which they are deficient is 

 yellow, and for this the May flowering Tulip Inglescombe 

 Yellow, as well as the other yellow sorts, offered on page 

 33, supplies the wanted color perfectly. Unsurpassed for 

 bedding and for cutting, and most of the varieties can be 

 forced into bloom in March without much trouble. As the 

 result of a generous crop this season, many of the finest 

 varieties are offered at very low prices. 



We offer below a collection of six Super-superb sorts, 

 covering the most wanted colors in sorts of extra high 

 quality, also a collection of six popular sorts, that can be 

 depended upon to produce 100% results the general list of
