HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Dreer's Famous Old Dutch or Breeder Tulips 



This fine old May-flowering type has been neglected for many 

 years, but are again exceedingly popular; in fact they have, for the 

 past two or three years, been given great prominence in many of the 

 strictly up-to-date gardens. They are very similar to the Dam-ins 

 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 Darwin. 



We made a verj' exhaustive test of a great many kinds the past 

 two seasons and the list offered below represents the best and 

 most distinct sorts.
