These are grown by the florist and amateur for their beautiful bloom ; 

 it is unnecessary to produce a mass of flowers, since each individual 

 blossom is a marvel of beauty in itself. They remain in fine condition 

 much longer than the earlier classes and we recommend them as most desirable 

 for brilliant and lasting displays. They are much taller than the preceding 

 varieties, usually growing to a height of nearly two feet. A bulb planted in 

 the fall blooms the following May and dies, giving place to one or more new 

 bulbs, which bloom the next spring. These may be taken up in August and 

 replanted in October or left in place, just as is deemed best. 



Isabella. Truly exquisite coloring is afforded in this new tulip. The flower 

 is long, rather slender but of very large size. Color, carmine-rose, beautifully 

 shaded with white. 4c. each ; 35c. per doz. ; ^2.00 per 100. 



Bouton d'Or. A beautiful golden yellow flower of medium size and 

 excellent form. One of our finest yellow tulips. 3 cents each; 30 cents per 

 dozen; I1.50 per 100. 



Picotee (Maiden's Blush). Long, graceful, bell shaped flowers similar to Isabella 

 but much lighter in general color effect. The petals are of ivory white, at first deli- 

 cately tipped with carmine rose which shade increases in intensity later in the season. 

 4c. each; 35c. per doz.; |2.25perioo. 



Gesneriana, Spathulata. It is a distinct species, the flowers being very large, of 

 perfect form, and the most brilliant scarlet color imaginable. No plant gives a more 

 brilliant effect than this. It grows to a height of about two feet, and blooms in May. 

 4 cents each; 35 cents per dozen; |2.oo per 100. 



Macrospeila. As excellent in form and similar to Gesneriana but the color is a beautiful 

 crimson, a shade somewhat deeper than Proserpine. 3c. each; 25c. per doz. ; I1.25 per 100.
