HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



Dreer's Famous Old Dutch or Breeder Tulips 



This fine old May-flowering tj-pe has been neglected for many 

 years, but are again becoming 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 verj' similar to the Darwins 

 in their tall, 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 bro-mi and other artistic 

 tones that are altogether wanting in the Darwin. 



We made a very exhaustive test of a great many kinds the past 

 two seasons and the list offered below represents the best and 

 most distinct sorts.

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