rich tones of bronze which are lacking in that class. 
They are the aristocrats of the tulip family and in re¬ 
cent years are the most sought after of all tulips. They 
bloom at about the same time as the Darwin and May¬ 
flowering types. 
Apricot. Bronzy apricot, yellow and orange. 
Bacchus. Deep plum color, with darker bloom on outer 
petals; large, very fine flower. 
Bronze Queen. Bull, tinted apricot, with a touch of rose. 
Louis XIV. Since its recent introduction this has become one 
of the most popular of tulips. It is a giant in size and royal 
in color. Rich purple with a golden bronze margin, inside 
bronzy purple with a yellow star at the base. 
Price of the above four fine varieties: 3 for 30c, $1.00 per 
dozen, $7.50 per 100

MAYFLOWERING TULIPS 
The Mayflowering Tulips are a beautiful class, very 
desirable for cutting because of their long stems and 
graceful habit. They are especially adaptable for flower 
borders where they should be freely planted in large 
clumps and masses. When planting in clumps set the 
bulbs about three inches apart. 
The Mayflowering tulips flower approximately at the 
same time as the Darwins and Breeders, and are dis¬ 
tinguished by their long, wiry stems and long, pointed 
petals.
