Dreer's Select Single 

 Early Tulips 



The Tulip is always attractive from its beauty and brilliancy 

 of color; and is one of the popular early spring flowers. A few 

 bulbs scattered here and there produce but little effect, but 

 when planted in masses or in groups, they become at once 

 grand and brilliant, and eclipse in variety of coloring and pic- 

 turesque effect almost any other flower. We only offer such 

 kinds as can be used with perfect success either indoors or out 

 in the garden. Tulips require cultural treatment similar to 

 Hyacinths ; the bulbs, being smaller, should not be planted 

 so deep. When grown indoors, put 6 bulbs in a 6-inch pan 

 or pot. 



To assist in the selection of varieties that grow to the same 

 height, we give directly after the name of each variety the 

 average height in inches, all of the varieties offered practically 

 bloom together.
