Dreer's Cottage Garden Tulips 



This beautiful class is quite distinct from the early flowering, Darwin and other sorts offered, 

 coming into bloom in the vicinity of Philadelphia about May 10th. On account of their extreme 

 hardiness, and long lasting qualities, they are specially adapted for the permanent hardy flower 

 border. They may also be naturalized in grass, wild gardens, etc. For bedding they are superb, 

 while as cut flowers, having long stems with flowers of great substance, they stand in perfect 

 condition for a long time. In planting, the bulbs should be set a little deeper than early tulips, 

 a covering of 4 inches being about right. 

 Gesneriana Lutea. This fine golden yellow variety 



is considered one of the best (24 inches). 70 cts. per 



doz.; $4.75 per 100; $40.00 per 1000.

strong yet graceful growth, and bearing very large 



flowers of an intense brilliant crimson scarlet (28 



inches). 75 cts. per doz.; $5.25 per 100; $45.00 per 



1000. 

 Grenadier. Very large flowers of a fiery orange-scarlet, one 



of the most effective Tulips in any class (20 inches). 75 cts. 



per doz.; $5.25 per 100; $45.00 per 1000.

doz.; $4.75 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 

 Inglescombe Yellow. Immense globular, rich yellow flowers, bloom-

 like the texture of this new Tulip. Its broad petals fold over 

 into a large round cup, like a fairy snowball. It opens only on 

 very sunny days and then displays its golden yellow stamens 

 which add a perfect little touch of friendliness to its pristine 

 purity. Height 24 inches. $1.20 per doz.; $8.75 per 100; 

 $80.00 per 1000.
