THE True Giant Gesneriana is 

 one of the grandest and most 

 beautiful of all Tulips ; they 

 grow 1>^ to 2 feet high and bear 

 great rich blooms as large as tea- 

 cups. Color intense fiery scarlet, 

 with bright shining blue-black cen- 

 tre. The flowers are very durable 

 and keep their splendid colors for 

 several weeks. They are entirely 

 hardy and will bloom on from year 

 to year. We recommend all to try

 Tulips; their wonderful beauty is 

 truly marvelous.

 Tulips 



We ask special attention to 

 the Bizarre and Bybioom types 

 of Tulips. Their large cup- 

 shaped flowers somewhat re- 

 semble the Gesneriana type, 

 and are always greatly admired 

 for their brilliant and striking 

 colors. The Bizarre have yel- 

 low ground, flamed and blazed 

 maroon, black, scarlet, bronze 

 and brown. The Byblooms 

 have white, light or violet 

 grounds, flaked and feathered 

 with rose pink, purple, scarlet, 

 black and crimson, elegantly 

 variegated. Price, fine mixed 

 Bizarre Tulips, 4 cts. each ; 30

 gated. 4 cts. each; 30 cts. per
