PURPLE-MAROON SHADES, Continued 
La Tulipe Noire. (3). Very dark maroon-black. The blackest of all Tulips,

to one stem. Height, 26 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
LILAC SHADES 
^President Harding. (3). Blue violet, shading lighter at margin. A magni¬ 
ficent, well-formed flower of good substance, carried on a strong tall stem. 
One of the finest and largest in this color. Unsurpassed for forcing or the 
border. Height, 30 inches. $1.15 per dozen, $8 per 100. 
*Zev. (3). A silvery lavender, shading to purple tones near the base of the flower, 
with flushes of pink, gray, and silver to complete a most pleasing, bright 
coloring. The inside of the cup is white with royal purple stamens. 
Height, 28 inches. $3.80 per dozen, $30 per 100. 
Maya. (3). Pastel lavender with a silver base. The outside of the cup is the 
same shade as the inside, which is unusual in Tulips. Color is clear and 
clean. A splendid variety, with very large flowers on straight upright 
stems. Height, 28 inches. $1.60 per dozen, $12 per 100. 
* Anton Mauve. (2). Rich violet-purple flowers, shaded with a dull garnet which 
is slightly paler at the edges. Inside is dark heliotrope, to which a white 
base with faint blue markings adds greater glory. Well-shaped flowers of 
good substance and one of the largest among lavender Tulips. For most 
pleasing effects this should be planted with a bright-colored variety. Height, 
30 inches. $1 per dozen, $7 per 100. 
*King Mauve (3). Of rather unusual color—a soft mauve or lavender with 
silvery sheen, which heightens the beauty of darker varieties through sheer 
contrast. Large, full flowers of refined form. Height 28 inches. $5.25 per 
dozen, $40 per 100. 
*01iphant. (1). Smoky lavender, flushed blue on outer petals; pure white 
base. Good early forcer. Huge flower on a graceful stem. Scarce. Height 
32 inches. $2.60 per dozen, $20 per 100. 
Laura. (2). A variety of such outstanding loveliness as to cause us to mention 
first that it should be planted in a proper setting to find full appreciation. 
Myosotis, yellow Primroses or even some other Tulips of related color, will 
display this light violet beauty at its best. Each flower is broadly edged 
white. Height, 28 inches. $1 per dozen, $7 per 100. 
Lilac Wonder. (2). Clear porcelain-blue, shaded lilac, with white center. 
A large well-shaped flower of unusual coloring, lasting a long time in bloom. 
Height, 28 inches. $2 per dozen, $15 per 100. 
*Duchess of Hohenberg. (2). Pale slaty lilac-mauve, with stripe of rosy 
heliotrope, inside pale lilac with white base. One of the best in this color 
for forcing. Large flower on tall strong stem. Height, 29 inches. $2.25 
per dozen, $17 per 100. 
Bleu Aimable. (3). Pale lavender, shaded steel-blue, with white base, starred 
blue. Good-sized flower of a very distinct shape. Height, 26 inches. 90 
cts. per dozen, $6 per 100.
