CARL PURDY, UKIAH, CALIFORNIA 
EARLY SINGLE TULIPS, continued 
I offer. Look at the picture und fancy the glowing crimson-scarlet center in striking 
contrast to the bright yellow rim. It is large, also, and one of the best potting Tulips. 
Just as beautiful and more lasting is Duchesse de Parma, in which we have the same 
arrangement of coloring but an orange-scarlet center, and equally fine flower. Of the 
two I prefer the Duchesse. Keizcrkroon is 4 cts. each, 35 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 100, 
while Duchesse de Parma is 3 cts. each, 30 cts. per doz., $2.25 per 100. Cottage Maid 
is a lovely rose, Hushed white, 
and one of the favorites for 
The price is 3 cts.

TERRA-COTTA- Thomas 
Moore is better than it sounds. 
Of fine terra-cotta, flushed with 
gold, it pleases every one. Price 
3 cts. each, 30 cts. per doz., $2 
per 100. 
A Fine Collection of Early 
Single Tulips 
For $2 I will send a collection 
of 100 selected by me from above 
sets, giving ten each, all sepa- 
rately labeled. This will give a 
fine variely of color and form 
and is of great value. 
DOUBLE EARLY 
TULIPS 
There are many double early 
Tulips, and while I have little- 
use for most of them, Murillo is 
too good to pass by- It is a 
double Cottage Maid in soft 
rose-flushed white. The flowers 
suggest pond -lilies. Either in 
pots or in the garden it charms 
and it is very decorative when 
picked. 4 cts. each, 40 cts. per 
doz., $3 per 100. 
PARROT TULIPS 
This is a race of gorgeously 
colored Tulips of very large size, 
with the flowers fancifully cut 
and slashed in the oddest way. 
They have short stems and must 
be grown here like early single 
Tulips — with considerable light 
shade. Can be forced late with- 
out heat. Mixed bulbs, all 
colors, 3 cts. each, 30 cts. per doz. 
MAY-FLOWERING, or COTTAGE TULIPS 
These splendid, long-stemmed Tulips, the equally tall Darwins and their cousins, 
the Rembrandts, are late-flowering races well adapted to Californian conditions, and, 
when a few points are carefully observed, can be grown in wonderful perfection. 
In exceptional springs they do well in the open sun. Such a spring was that of 
191 1, but more often hot days come early, and a light shade is essential if we wish all 
of the beauty that they are capable of.
