Collections of Tulips for Beds. 



CIRCUIiAR BED OF TULIPS. 



Tulips are the most showy and handsome of all Spring-flowering bulbs. No other flowers can equal 

 them in brilliant and gorgeous colors ; they are entirely hardy, need no protection, and are absolutely 

 sure to bloom. Our Bedding Tulips are specially selected to grow the same height and bloom at same 

 time. We have them in Pink, White, Crimson and Yellow. The bed illustrated above is six feet in 

 diameter and holds 156 tulips planted five inches apart each way. The bed is divided into four sections, 

 as indicated ; each section holds 39 tulips of same color— 39 Red, 39 White, 39 Pink, 39 Yellow. 

 Price for the 156, packed to express here, $2.34, or $2.88 prepaid through. Price per 100, $1.50, 

 purchaser paying charges, or $1.85 per 100, prepaid through. 



New Darwin Tulips. 



The Darwin Tulips are a magnificent new class 

 of large May-flowering tulips, just recently intro- 

 duced. They grow 18 inches to two feet high, and 

 bear splendid flowers of immense size and most 

 brilliant colors, including gorgeous shades of Blue, 

 Crimson, Rose, Yellow, Purple, Brown and Coal 

 Black, far surpassing everything before known in 

 Tulips. They are entirely out of the usual, and so 

 surprisingly beautiful that even a small bed will at- 

 tract immediate attention, and be a splendid addi- 

 tion to your flower garden for many weeks. Do 

 not fail to include a few New Darwin Tulips in 

 your order. Their wonderful beauty will surprise 

 you ; they cost but little, and should be planted at 

 once, six inches apart, in open ground. 



We offer DARWIN TULIPS in mixed colors only. 

 Price 4 cts. each, 40 cts per doz., postpaid ; $2.75 

 per 100 by express, buyer paying charges. 



Due Van Thol Tulips. 



Due Van Thol Tulips are noted for their dwarf 

 sturdy growth, brilliant colors, and early bloom. 

 They are specially recommended for house culture, 

 and as they bloom two weeks earlier than the other 

 tulips, they are very desirable for bedding out 

 also. As they grow only 6 or 7 inches high, they 

 should be planted separately, and not mixed with 

 other tulips.
