Later Single Tulips 
Among the Tulips generally included with the Single Early sorts 
there are a few varieties which bloom from five to six days after 
the others, or just enough later to mar the bedding effect where they 
are planted with the early kinds. These varieties are here grouped 
together with the purpose of suggesting that they should be grown 
by themselves, and not with the early sorts. They are all extremely 
beautiful, and serve to fill in a gap between the April-blooming 
Tulips and the first of the Cottage Tulips.

mine-rose, with yellow base; long, large flower of handsome form.

CERISE GRIS-DE-LIN. Soft carmine-rose, shaded fawn and mar¬ 
gined creamy white, with yellow base; large flower of globular 
form. A handsome bedding and late forcing variety. Height 13 
in. 10 bulbs, 85 cts.; 100 bulbs, $7.50.
