No better advice can be given to the lover of the Tulip than to 
make the acquaintance of this handsome race. Colors without a 
counterpart in any other class of Tulips are to he found among them, 
as well as combinations of color which can scarcely be imagined 
by one who does not know the possibilities of the Breeders. Their 
quiet tones, in contrast with the livelier colors of the Cottage and 
Darwin kinds, give a comforting feeling of repose which everyone 
who is sensitive to garden atmosphere so often requires of his gar¬ 
den flowers. 
Detailed planting directions will be included with the shipment of the
