Dreer's Famous Old Dutch 

 or Breeder Tulips 



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

 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 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. 70 cts. per doz.; $4.75 per 100; 



$40.00 per 1000. 



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. 80 cts. per doz.; $5.75 per 100; $50.00 per 

 1000. 



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

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

 golden bronze. 70 cts. per doz.; $4.75 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 



Dom Pedro. Sweet scented marvel of coloring. Each petal 

 margined golden brown, softer brown below, inside glistening 

 maroon red on yellow and olive base. Exquisitely rounded 

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

 If you know this variety, you will want it again. 75 cts. per 

 doz.; $5.25 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. 



Golden Bronze. Outside distinctly old gold with a shading of 

 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 25 inches. 80 cts. 

 per doz.; $5.75 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



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. Will stand slow 

 forcing. 70 cts. per doz.; $4.75 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 



Lucifer. One of the very few Tulips with a delightful Freesia 

 perfume. Huge luscious orange cups with brighter edge, sway- 

 ing on 27 inch stems. Petals up to 3 inches long, producing a 

 handsome deep flower, which shows a dark green and yellow 

 base to a flame orange inside lining. 80 cts. per doz.; $5.75 per 

 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



Old Dutch or Breeder 

 Tulip Panorama 



Old Dutch or Breeder 

 Tulip Velvet King 



Panorama. Warm terra-cotta with reddish mahogany, a quiet 

 even tone which covers the huge goblets entirely. The large 

 petals are curved in at the top so that even on very bright days 

 the flower appears as if closed. A look inside is rewarded by a 

 display of scintillating orange mahogany on an olive green base. 

 Height 26 inches. Easy forcing tendency. 70 cts. per doz.; 

 $4.75 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 

 Plutarchus. Lemon yellow, outside flamed purple, inside terra- 

 cotta, an unusual color combination. 80 cts. per doz.; $5.75 per 

 100; $50.00 per 1000. 

 Prince of Orange or Sunset. One of the tallest Tulips. In 

 preferred positions it attains a height of 30 inches. Elongated 

 flowers of attractive terra-cotta, edged lively orange. Inside 

 flame orange on disk of gold with black radials. A very old 

 variety prized highly for its sweet fragrance. If you have never 

 had truly fragrant Tulips in your garden, plant Prince of Orange. 

 75 cts. per doz.; $5.25 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. 

 Velvet King or Dreadnaught. A bed of Velvet King widely 

 spaced, with an under planting of yellow pansies, stands out as 

 an advanced production in fine gardening. Clumps of 8 to 12 

 bulbs in border plantings, near the varying green tints of 

 Junipers and dwarf Spruces evoke spontaneous praise. A fool- 

 proof sturdy variety, tall stemmed and large cupped. Outside 

 violet purple, inside bright violet with blue and white base. 

 80 cts. per doz.; $5.75 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 

 Vulcan. Bright salmony-red with broad border of orange-buff. 

 A bright and effective color combination. 90 cts. per doz.;
