| Scheepers' Superior Tulips 



FOR IMMEDIATE PLANTING AND MAY FLOWERING 



May-flowering Tulips are unsurpassed for their stately bearing 

 ■ and rich colorings. There is nothing so inspiring as to come 

 suddenly upon a border or bed of these magnificent flowers, vie- 

 | ing with each other in form and color. 



They are ideal for cutting and richly deserve the widest popu- 

 larity as they are wonderfully ornamental at a time when bright 

 J colors are wanted. For isolated massing in beds or planted in 

 clumps in the herbaceous border this strain is indeed superb. 

 In our desire to place OUR HIGHER CLASS bulbs before real 

 jj flower-lovers, we could select no better representatives to demon- 

 | strate the SUPERIORITY of our stock. 



The varieties offered below have been specially selected as being 



DISTINCT, SHOWY and BEAUTIFUL, so that buyers need have 



| no hesitation in choosing the colors they require, as all are good.
