De Luxe Darwin Tulips 



DREER'S 

 DARWIN TULIPS 



(Top size bulbs onlj') 

 This magnificent May-ilowering class has 

 by sheer force of its many merits forged it3 

 way to popularity. 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 remarkably heavy texture. 



DREER'S DE LUXE

We offer this collection especially for those who are 

 particularly interested in this wonderful class of Tulips, 

 each being considered a great improvement in size and 

 vigor over previous introductions of similar color.

 with a rosy orange glow, inside like brilliant orange topaz.

 petals start to unfold. Height, 26 inches. 70 cts. per 

 doz.; $4.75 per 100. 



City of Haarlem. Considered the finest and most bril- 

 liant red Darwin. Wonderful cup-shaped flower, with

Melicette. This unique and beautiful all lavender Tulip 

 comes highly recommended. Color, soft lavender shading 

 to pale lavender at edges, inside deep lavender violet, ex- 

 quisite blue base. Outer petals distinctly reflexed so that 

 the cups look much larger than the average Darwin.

 conceded the finest in its class whether grown in the bor-
