feet, supporting its flowers, 
which are of eqormous size, 
on strong, gi-aceful stems. 
Its color is of the most glossy 
and dazzling crimson scarlet 
we have ever seen, which is 
beautifully set off by a deep 
blue center. Its flowers are 
the most durable of all Tu- 
lips, as it holds its beautiful 
color and keeps perfect sev- 
eral weeks. It is to be re-

bulbs of this grand Tulip, 
which have been sent into 
this country for years past, 
have been untrue to name

true variety. We have al- 
ways supplied the true sort,

have our importations war- 
ranted. Those who order
