Establish These Tulips Permanently Among Annuals 

 or Shrubbery; Enjoy Their Splendid Flowers Every Year 



You know a nd love tulips as a class — but do you fully appreciate the possibilities offered you in the Darwin and 

 May-flowering types ? They can be left permanently just where you wish them to- grow; in shrubbery clumps or 

 flower beds — and increase in number for many years. They bloom in May long before the other things are ready — 

 thus providing you with lovely flowers from early to late. In form and coloring, they leave nothing to be desired. 



You need some of them; our connections with reliable growers abroad are unexcelled. Boddington's Quality Bulbs 

 are planted in many famous Eastern Estates. Here area few of our Tulip offerings; many more will be found in 



Boddington's Summer and Autumn Garden Guide 



— describes Tulips and other bulbs; also Perennial seeds that will bloom next summer if planted now. Clear, 

 attractive illustrations— practical and helpful cultural directions, etc. Free; send postal today. 



Maiden's Blush, or Picotee. Clear white, margined 

 on the edge with pink. This flower is beautifully 

 curved, but it is somewhat difficult to give a correct 

 idea of the color. When it opens, the petals are 

 white and margined or penciled with pink to cerise. 

 After two or three days the flowers change to a deep 

 rose, and, unless one is acquainted with it, it would 

 not be recognized as the same Tulip. It stands re- 

 markably well when cut. (See illustration above.)
