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 everybody who loves spring flowers; 

 they arc quite distinct in style of growth from the 

 other late flowering sorts; stately in appearance, 

 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, helio- 

 trope, claret, maroon, crimson and other 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 an 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. At 

 the X.itional Flower Show, held in Philadelphia, we 

 exhibited a number of pans of these in bloom which 

 attracted the attention and admiration of thousands of 

 visitors. 



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

 covering the most wanted colors in sorts of extra high 

 quality, while on the opposite page we list twenty-four 

 of the finest standard varieties selected out of a large 

 collection as being the best and most distinct.
