CARL PURDY, UKIAH, CALIFORNIA 
MAY-FLOWERING TULIPS, continued 
often 22 inches high. (See No. i, on back cover.) Ful- 
gens is clear deep red, with pointed petals, and it will 
be just as much of a favorite when it is better known. 
Gorgeous is the only word for La Merveille (The 
Marvel); first orange-red and then a rare shade of 
red. Similar in color, but more like Major in habit, 
is Gesneriana aurantiaca, the orange Gesneriana, a 
grand flower; and Macrospeila, another form of 
Gesneriana, is deep blood-red, with showy black eye; 
in the sun no Tulip outshines it. The price 
of all these splendid Tulips is 3 cts. each, 
30 cts. per doz., $2.25 per 100. 
YELLOWS: In yellows I offer three 
fine varieties. Parisian Yellow (see 
No. 4, back cover) is perhaps the 
best yellow, and its price is 4 cts. 
each, 40 cts. per doz., $2.75 per 
100. Bouton d'Or is golden, tall, 
stiff-stemmed, and makes a fine 
color-mass when cut, although smaller-flowered than 
the others. It is cheap at 3 cts. each, 25c. per doz., 
$2 per 100. Retrofiexa is a light canary-yellow, 
long-stemmed, large-flowered, and with reflexed 
petals. 4 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz., $3 per 100. 
SCARLET AND GOLD: The preceding Tulips 
have all been in solid colors. Golden Crown, 
with a body of rich yellow, penciled with scarlet, 
finally becomes a sort of old-gold throughout. 
Dwarf. I 
sell it at 3 
cts. each, 
25 cts. per 
doz., §2 
er roo. 
Picolee Tulips 
Le Reve Tulips 
WHITE AND PINK: Still prettier is Pico- 
tee, which opens light cream, lightly penciled 
with pink, and becomes pure white suffused 
throughout with pink. 3 cts. each, 30 cts. 
per doz., $2 per 100. (See Xo. 3, back cover.) 
SPECIAL LATE TULIPS 
Le Reve is a most exquisite large-flowered 
sort of a shade of pink, tinged salmon; 
10 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz. Inglescombe 
Scarlet and Inglescombe Pink are large-flow- 
ered and in such vivid colors as to attract 
attention wherever planted. 8 cts. each, 
75 cts. per doz. 
GIANT DARWINS 
The Darwin Tulips are May-flowering 
Tulips, but in a class by themselves. They 
used to be called Breeders, and were badly 
neglected; but the wonderfully line varieties 
brought out during the last fifteen years 
have pushed them to a front place. With 
broad cups of large size, on stout and very 
tall stems (some are 30 inches high), they 
have great lasting qualities, and whether in 
beds or vases they always attract attention.
