Special Offer of Darwin 
Tulips 
T HE Darwin Tulips are splendid beyond descrip- 
tion but are comparatively unknown. When 
they do become generally known they will be 
by far the most popular of all spring-flowering 
bulbs. They are tall and stately, the flowers of 
great size and substance, lasting fully twice as long 
as other I ulips, and their coloring exquisitely beauti- 
ful, ranging from pure white to almost black, including 
the loveliest shades of pink, crimson, lilac, violet and 
peculiar colors impossible to describe. 
Best of all, they are a permanent addition to the 
garden, as they improve year after year, instead of 
deteriorating as many spring-flowering bulbs do. One 
of Mr. Elliott’s clients w 7 ho has spent over $50,000 in 
the making of one of the finest country places in Penn- 
sylvania, said after he saw 7 a few thousand of the Tulips 
in bloom on bis grounds that they compensated him 
for bis total expenditure. 
We want everybody who is not familiar with these 
glorious flow ers to try them, and to try the best of them, 
and not the cheap mixtures; and, with this end in view, 
we are offering thirteen of the very choicest and distinct 
varieties and finest bulbs in collections at a reduced 
price. We are confident this is the best advertisement 
we can make for our business, and that it will enor- 
mously increase the sale of these Tulips in future, for 
people who do know buy them by the hundreds and 
thousands. 
Positively no order will be accepted for these collections after July 1, 1915

EVERGREENS 
It’s Not Too Late 
To Plant Them 
m 
n 
S PRING time is not the only 
time for Evergreen plant- 
ing. It’s just one of the 
times. 
Right now, the new growth 
is a bit tender. For the next 
30 days or so, it will be a bit 
too soft to handle without 
some harm. But after that, 
they can be planted just as 
safely in August as in 
March and April. Dur- 
ing August you can, 
with assured success, 
plant any kind you 
wish. 
Our Summer ship- 
ments we pack with 
extra care, so if de- 
layed in reaching 
you, they will not 
dry out. 
Right now, af- 
TR^l 
ter all your other planting is done, 
you can better tell just what Ever- 
greens you want, and how best to 
place them. It’s a decided ad- 
vantage that summer planting 
always has. 
Send for our catalogue 
now. Let us know what you 
want, and we will at once 
pick out your trees and 
mark them sold to you. 
Then we wili hold them 
for a shipping date; un- 
less you give it to us 
along with the order. 
And remember 
our trees are New 
England grown. 
They are strong 
and sturdy. 
The kind that 
live.andgrow
