Dreer's Famous Old Dutch 

 or Breeder Tulips 



(Top size bulbs only) 



This fine old May-flowering type is very similar to the Darwin 



in their taU, strong growth, and with even larger flowers, and bloom 



about the same time, but have an entirely different range of colors, 



comprising bronze, terra-cotta, orange brown and other artistic 



tones that are altogether wanting in the Darwins. 



Apricot. An attractive large flower of bronzy-buff shaded 



ruddy apricot, an unusual color. Height, 26 inches. 65 cts. 



per doz.; $4.75 per 100. 



Bacchus. Superbly attractive, great size, long 28 inch stems. 



Oblong globe shape flowers of a rare violet blue dusted with 



bloom of grapes. A gay blue and white pattern inside, shading 



into glistening violet. Petalage of heavy texture, blooms lasting 



two weeks or more. 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 



Bronze Queen. A finely formed large bronzy-yellow flower, 



the color being a soft buff, suffused with bronzy apricot; inside 



golden bronze. Height, 28 inches. 65 cts. per doz.; $4.75 per 100. 



Dom Pedro. Sweet scented marvel of coloring. Each petal 



margined golden bro-wn, softer brown below, inside glistening 



maroon red on yeUow and olive base. Exquisitely rounded 



cups on 24 inch stems. These cups are filled with perfume. 



If you know this variety, you wiU want it again. 70 cts. per 



doz.; $5.00 per 100.

lavender rising from the base nearly to the tips of the petals, 



inside silky brown shading to golden bronze. Lovely yellow 



centre -with pale green seedpod. Height, 24 inches. 75 cts. 



per doz.; $5.50 per 100. 



Louis XIV. Its praises sung by generations of flower lovers, 



it still stands unsurpassed. The subtle tone of purple, enlivened 



by a golden brown edge, reminds one decidedly of royalty and 



of magnificent French courts. Its great size and height (28 



inches) contribute forcibly to that impression. WiU stand slow 



forcing. 65 cts. per doz.; $4.75 per 100. 



Lucifer (Gorgeous). One of the very few Tulips with a delightful 



Freesia perfume. Huge luscious orange cups with brighter 



edge, swaying on 27 inch stems. Petals up to 3 inches long, 



producing a handsome deep flower, which shows a dark green 



and yeUow base to a flame orange inside lining. 80 cts. per 



doz.; $5.75 per 100.

 quiet even tone which covers the huge goblets entirely. The

 by a display of scintillating orange mahogany on an olive green 

 base. Height, 26 inches. Easy forcing tendency. 65 cts. 

 per doz.; $4.75 per 100.
