HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Dreer's Select Single Early Tulips 



Single Early Tulips 



The Tulip is always attractive from its beauty and bril- 

 liancy of color; and is one of the popular early spring flowers. 

 A few bulbs scattered here and there produce but little effect, 

 but when planted in masses or in groups, they become at 

 once grand and brilliant, and eclipse in variety of coloring and 

 picturesque effect almost any other flower. We only offer 

 such kinds as can be used with perfect success either indoors 

 or out in the garden. Tulips require cultural treatment 

 similar to Hyacinths; the bulbs, being smaller, should not 

 be planted so deep. When grown indoors, put 6 bulbs in 

 a 6-inch pan or pot. 



To assist in the selection of varieties that grow to the same 

 height, we give directly after the name of each variety the aver- 

 age height in inches, all of the varieties offered practically 

 bloom together.
