CHOICE SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 



MOONBEAM. 2. Deep primrose-yellow, shading to soft canary 

 at edges; very large flower of graceful, open form. A splendid 

 new variety which is a marked improvement over Primrose 

 Queen. Very scarce, and offered exclusively in The Blue Book. 

 Height 14 in. 10 bulbs, $3.40; 100 bulbs, $32. 



MOTHER OTEARL. 2. Very soft pale rose, with broad flame 

 of creamy yellow through center of petals; large flower of loose 

 habit. This is an exquisite new sport of Queen of the Nether- 

 lands, so combined with the soft yellow of L'Unique that it 

 well deserves the name I have given it. Offered exclusively in 

 The Blue Book. Height 14 in. 10 bulbs, $3.25; 100 bulbs, $30. 



OPHIRD'OR. 2. Bright clear yellow; large flower. A fine Tulip 

 for bedding, coming into flower a little later than Mon Tresor. 

 Height 13 in. 10 bulbs, 35c.; 100 bulbs, $2.80; 1,000 bulbs, $23. 



PARAGON GULDEBLOEM; syn., PRINCESS IDA; TRILBY- 

 3. White, striped creamy yellow, with yellow base. Rather 

 small flower. A less expensive substitute for L*Unique, which 

 it somewhat resembles. Height 12 in. 10 bulbs, 45 cts.; 100 

 bulbs, $3.75; 1,000 bulbs, $32. 



PAUL MOREELSE. 2. Cherry-red, shaded blood-red, fine 

 yellow base, with white halo; large and of distinct shape. A 

 splendid bedding variety. Height 11 in. 10 bulbs, 45 cts.; 

 100 bulbs, $3.50; 1,000 bulbs, $28. 



PINK BEAUTY. 3. Vivid cherry-rose, center of petals striped 

 white; white base starred yellow. Enormous flower of superb 

 shape, carried on stiff, strong stem. The handsomest dark 

 pink bedding Tulip, and a fine late forcer. Height 12 in. 10 

 bulbs, 60 cts.; 100 bulbs, $5,25; 1,000 bulbs, $46. 



PINK DELIGHT. 1. White, with broad edge of pure, bright 

 rose-pink, the color suffusing the flower with age. This is the 

 most sensational novelty in Early Tulips ever introduced, 

 having great size and substance, and a clear pink color unique 

 in its class. Height 13 in. 10 bulbs, $3.75; 100 bulbs, $35. 



PIONEER. 1. Bright scarlet; large, shapely flower. A splendid 

 sort for very early forcing. Height 10 in. 10 bulbs, 75 cts.; 

 100 bulbs, $6. 



PRESIDENT LINCOLN; syn., QUEEN OF THE VIOLETS. 

 2. Clear magenta-violet; large flower; very effective when 

 grown beside a light yellow Tulip, such as Primrose Queen. 

 Height 12 in. 10 bulbs, 50c.; 100 bulbs, $4; 1,000 bulbs, $35.
