The Famous Darwin Tulip, Clara Tuft. 



DREER'S 



SUPERB 



DARWIN 



TUUPS 



Bronze King. This really belongs to the Old Dutch or 

 Breeder Class, and is included in this collection on account 

 of jits wonderful golden-bronze color, a tone that is lacking 

 in the Darwin class. $1..50 per doz. ; $10.00 per 100. 



City of Haarlem. Immense, perfectly formed flowers of a 

 brilliant, rich geranium-red. Considered the largest and 

 finest of this color, which is not common in Darwins. $2.00 

 per doz.; $1.5.00 per 100. 



Faust. Lustrous, deep pansy- violet. A superb dark colored 

 sort. Flowers of largest size. $].2o per doz.; $8.50 per 100. 



This magnificent May-flowering class has within the past few 

 years by sheer force of their many merits forged their way to' 

 popularity by leaps and bounds, and are now grown by almost 

 everybody who loves spring flowers; they are 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 re- 

 markably heavy texture, in a large range of colors, embracing 

 almost every conceivable tint in rose, heliotrope, claret, ma- 

 roon, crimson and other rich and rare shades. The only color in 

 which they are deficient is yellow, and for this the May-flower- 

 ing Tulip Inglescombe Yellow, as well as the other yellow 

 sorts, offered on page 9, supplies the wanted color perfectly. 

 Unsurpassed for bedding and for cutting, and most of the vari- 

 eties can be forced into bloom in March without much trouble. 

 At the National Flower Show, held in Philadelphia, March 25th, 

 1916, 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, which covers 

 the best of recent introductions, while on the opposite page we list 

 twenty-four of the finest standard varieties selected out of a large collec- 

 tion as being the best and most distinct.
