BODDINGTON'S QUALITY 

 SINGLE LATE OR MAY - FLOWERING TULIPS 



For Herbaceous Borders and Among Formal Borders of Shrubbery, etc. 



It is surprising that these grand TuHps have not been more largely planted. As an early display they are magnificent in their beauty 

 and coloring, coming into flower, as they do, from May 15 to the first week of June, according to the season, and are most useful from a 

 decorative point of view, after the early-flowering Tulips are past. The colors are various, as described in the following varieties, and their 

 height, after being well established, reaches nearly three feet in some types. After planting, they need not be disturbed for years and fill in 

 the space until spring plants can be set out in beds. There are many more beautiful late-flowering Tulips, but the following are a few of the 

 most distinct varieties. No pretentious garden, or public park where flowers are grown extensively under appropriate surroundings, should 

 be without a selection of them, for they aftord immense enjoyment to large numbers of people, as we know from experience. 



Bizarre Tulips. Handsome, rich flowers, with yellow ground, 

 feathered or striped with crimson, purple and white ; finest mixed. 

 30 cts. per doz., $1.25 per 100, $10 per 1,000. 



Bybloems (Violets). Beautiful late Tulips, with white ground, 

 blotched, striped or feathered with lilac, purple, violet, blue or 

 black ; finest mixed. 35 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100, $14 per 1,000. 



Bybloems (Roses). Superfine mixture. 35 cts. per doz., $1.75 per 

 100, $15 per 1,000. 



Bouton d'Or. Has deep clear yellow, globular, medium-sized blos- 

 soms, with curious black-anthered stamens. 35 cts. per doz., $1.50 

 per TOO, $14 per 1,000. 



Darwins. Very large flowers of good shape, on tall, strong stems ; 

 for brilliancy of color they surpass any other Tulip ; they include 

 every known shade, from the lightest tint to the brightest hue; 

 finest mixed. 35 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100, $14 per 1,000. For 

 named varieties, see below. 



Bridesmaid. A beautiful reddish violet, delicately striped. 40 cts. 

 per doz., $1.75 per 100, $15 per 1,000. 



Beauty of America. Pale yellow, passing to white ; exceedingly 

 handsome. 35 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100, S14 per 1,000. 



Elegans. Crimson-vermilion, long pointed reflexing petals, pale 

 yellow center. 50 cts. per doz., S3. 7.5 per 100, $35 per 1,000. 



Isabella, or Shandon Bells. This also is one of those varieties 

 of which a description fails to give a correct idea of its beauty. 

 The petals are a rose color flushed or flaked with white when they 

 first open, and after two or three days it changes to a suffused deep 

 rose and red color. Remains longer in bloom than many others, and 

 stands well when cut. 40 cts. per doz., $2 per 100, $17.50 per 1,000. 



Gesneriana spathulata, or major. This variety has long been 

 in cultivation. The beautifully curved flowers are brilliant scarlet, 

 with a bluish black center, on tall stems. A large group of this 

 Tulip massed by itself looks very striking. There are a number 

 of forms of this Tulip lately sent out, and a few of them are very 

 high-priced, but hardly any of them excel the type in genuine 

 beauty. 35 cts. per doz., $1.75 per 100, $15 per 1,000. 



Gesneriana macrospila. Crimson-scarlet, black and yellow cen- 

 ter. 30 cts. per doz., $1.25 per 100, $10 per 1,000. 



Golden Crown. Is a showy and attractive variety, with a rich deep 

 yellow color, and the petals edged and tinged with red. It blooms 

 about the same time as Gesneriana major. It forms a pleasing 

 combination with the latter, and when grouped they give a fine 

 color effect. 35 cts. per doz., $1.75 per 100, $15 per 1,000. 



Maiden's Blush, or Picotee. Clear white, margined on the edge 

 with pink. The flower is beautifully curved, but it is somewhat 

 difficult to give a correct idea of the color. When it opens, the 

 petals are white and margined or penciled with pink to cerise. 

 After two or three days the flowers change to a deep rose, and 

 unless one is acquainted with it, it would not be recognized as the 

 same Tulip. It stands remarkably well when cut, and a vase 

 gracefully arranged with it would grace the table of the most digni- 

 fied monarch. 40 cts. per doz., $2.25 per 100, $20 per 1,000. 



Mrs. Moon. The finest late yellow, beautifully reflexed petals. A 

 charming variety. $1.50 per doz., $12 per 100. 



Boddington's "Quality" Superfine Mixture May-flowering 

 Tulips, for acclimating and for planting in herbaceous or shrub- 

 bery borders. 40 cts. per doz., $2 per 100, $15 per 1,000.
