Superb Collections of Fine Named Darwin Tulips 
My grower in Holland puts up very fine collections of Named Darwin Tulips. He 
gives a wide range of colors, very fine varieties, and large bulbs. Better value cannot 
be given for the money. Bought separately, they would cost far more. 10 very fine 
sorts, 10 cts. each, or 100 bulbs for $3. One of each sort, not named, 10 bulbs, 35 cts. 
Five of each variety, or 50 bulbs, $1.75. 
Valuable Mixlure Collections That Are Full of 
Surprises 
In my garden, with its wonderful collection covering all sorts of Tulips and fully 
three hundred varieties, some get into mixtures every year. Among these are many of 
the very finest, some sorts that arc worth ten cents each and more. I will give a general 
mixture at $1.50 per 100. This will be full of surprises. 
DARWIN MIXTURES. Even greater value, for in a hundred bulbs there may be 
twenty sorts. They are surely fine, and at $2.25 per 100 are very cheap. 
SOME RARE LATE TULIPS 
The most magnificent beauties arc included under this heading. From my large 
collection I now offer some varieties of merit that are seldom seen in our gardens. They 
are as easily grown as the commoner sorts, and they give charming variety. Billetiana 
is a light yellow Tulip most beautifully suffused with bright red. It is both showy and 
delicate; my price is 40 cts. per doz. Cornuta is the Horned Tulip, and a very odd 
type. The petals are only long 
threads of yellow and red; the 
price is 40 cts. per doz. Didieri 
reminds one very much of the 
Mariposa Tulip with its soft 
brown-yellow flower that has 
a rich eye in the center. Both 
it and its white form are 40 cts. 
per doz. 
Those who like the glori- 
ous Tidipa Gesneriana will 
appreciate Gesneriana oculata, 
which is the same flower in a 
clear rose with white eye. These 
are 50 cts. per doz. In Ingles- 
combe Scarlet we have one of 
the largest and most brilliant 
of Tulips; 75 cts. per doz. 
Inglescombe Pink is just as 
beautiful, in its own color, and 
comes at the same price. 
Oculus-solis is very early, 
strikingly brilliant and showy, 
in scarlet. 60 cts. per doz. 
Mauriana (see No. 2, back 
cover) is a wonderfully rich 
clear red, tinted orange, and 
Caledonia has more of a cop- 
pery red. Both are fine, both 
arc worth 50cts. per doz. Shan- 
don Bells is low-growing, with 
very large flowers of yellow 
rayed with red (see cut on 
page 4); my price, 40 cts. per 
doz. Virginalis is white, a 
little rayed and suffused with 
purple and red; dainty and 
pretty; some of my friends 
think it is one of the most 
beautiful. Price 50 cts. per doz.
