BQDDINGTON'S "QUALITY" 

 SINGLE LATE OR MAY-FLOWERING TULIPS 



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



It is surprising lliat these graiul I have nut been more hirgely planted. As an early diNplay they are magnificent in their beauty 



and coloring, comnig into tlower, as the\ <\<i, from May 16 to the first week in June, according to the season, and are most useful from a 

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

 height, after being well established, reaches nearly three teet 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 fiowering 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 afford immense enjoyment to large numbers of people, as we know from experience.

Isabella, or Shandon Bells. This also is one 

 of those varieties of w hich 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 dee) rose and red color. 

 Remains longer in bloom than man)' others, 



and stands well when cut $0 25 $1 50 $14 00

 large sweet-scented blossoms. Salmon-rose over- 

 laid with orange-red. A grand border variety . . 30 i 00 18 00 

 Gesneriana spathulata, or major. This va- 

 riety has long been in cultivation. The beau- 

 tifully 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 i 75 15 uo

 blooms about the same time as 

 Gc-sneriana major. 20 cts. per

Golden Eagle. 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 so that 

 they meet in curving lines they 

 give a fine color effect. 20c. per 

 doz., $1.25 per 100, $12 per 1,000. 



Maiden's Blush, or Ficotee. 

 Clear white, luargined on the edge 

 with pink. 1 he flower is beauti- 

 fully 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 accjuainted 

 with it, it would not be recognized 

 as the same Tulip. It stands re- 

 markably well when cut, and 

 gracefully arranged. 20 cts. per 

 doz., $1.25 per 100, $12 per 1,000.
