Tulipa Grcigi, 



THE ROYAL TULIP. 



Heretofore this, the king of Tulips, was so very scarce end 

 held at such a high price that only a limited number was im- 

 ported. At last we were able to procure a fine stock of bulbs, 

 which we offer at a reasonable price. This grand novelty is 



as easily grown 

 as any Tulip, 

 being subject to 

 exactly the same 

 conditions; it 

 can therefore be 

 grown with equal 

 success in pots or 

 the open ground. 

 As will be seen 

 by our illustra- 

 tion, the broad, 

 handsome foliage 

 is distinctly 

 spotted with dark 

 maroon. The 

 gorgeous flowers 

 are bravely borne 

 up, as if to better 

 display, their re- 

 markable color, 

 which is flame- 

 red, transparent, 

 waxy and daz- 

 zling. Greigi is 

 undoubtedly the 

 grandest thing in 

 the Tulip family. 

 20 cts. each. 



Tulipa 

 Gesneriana. 



It is notable as being 

 the most superb of all 

 Tulips and is one of the 

 parents of the Tulip 

 family. The flower 

 stems are two to three 

 feet high, producing ex- 

 quisite blossoms of large I 

 size, which in color are ^-^ 

 an intense^ dazzling 

 glossy crimson, with f^ 

 centre of deep blue. 6 ^^::i^^ 

 cts. each ; 3 for 15 cts. 



TULIPA GESNERIANA. 



Tulipa Golden Crown. 



Yellow Gesneriana. 



This beautiful Tulip is exactly like " Gesneriana " with the 

 exception that the flowers are of a fine yellow color, banded 

 with orange ; it forms a superb contrast with the Scarlet 

 Gesneriana. 6 cts. each ; 3 for 15 cents. 



Byblooms and Bizards. 



We desire to call special attention to the Byblooms, Bizards 

 and Breeders' types of Tulips, of which we offer a fine col- 

 lection. These merit more general recognition from the vast 

 army of flower lovers. Their bloom somewhat resembles 

 that of the Gesneriana (see cut), and they wear all the gor- 

 geous livery of their species. They attain a height of from 

 one to two feet, the stems often branching and producing 

 several large blooms. Their flowering period is later than 

 the other sorts, which is a point in their favor.
