Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, Pa, 
Single Early 
Tulips. 
THE Tulip is always attractive from 
1 its beauty and brilliancy of color, 
and is one of the popular early spring 
flowers. A few bulbs scattered here and 
there produce but liule elTect, but when 
planted in masses, or in small groups, they 
become at once grand and brilliant, and 
eclipse, in variety of coloring and pictur¬ 
esque effect, almost any other flower. Our 
collection is unusually fine, embracing all 
the choicest varieties. Tulips require cul¬ 
tural treatment similar to Hyacinths; the 
bulbs, being smaller, should not be planted 
so deep. All the varieties named below 
are well adapted for pot culture, especially 
the Due Van Thol sorts, which can be 
forced into bloom for Christmas with but 
little trouble. Put 3 bulbs in 4-inch pot. 
The figures prefixed indicate the average 
height in inches of each variety. 
$• 3 ^' If Tulips are wanted by mail f 
add at the rate of 5 cents per dozen for 
postage.
