Single Early Tulips, Continued. 
DEEP ROSE AND WHITE, Continued 
*FIamingo. (2). A large, graceful flower of a pleasing shade of carmine-rose. 
Each crinkled petal has a white stripe running through the center. Forces 
well and is fine for bedding, especially if planted with a ground cover like 
Alyssum Little Gem. Height, 13 inches. 70 cts. per dozen, $5 per 100. 
*Rose Luisante. (4). Deservedly popular because of its many fine character¬ 
istics. Of brilliant deep rose color, each petal flushed white at edge. Goblet 
shaped flowers, carried on straight, sturdy stems. Equally showy in the 
garden or in pots or pans. When grown indoors, it should be forced slowly. 
Height, 14 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
Le Matelas. (1). Glistening rosy pink, flushed creamy white, large flower of 
beautiful shape. Height, 12 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
CARMINE-ROSE 
*Cramoisi-Royal. (2). Bright carmine-rose. Large flower on a tall strong 
stem, undoubtedly the most beautiful in this color. Unsurpassed for forc¬ 
ing, of unusual substance and especially recommended. The bulbs should 
not be covered as deeply for forcing as others of this class, otherwise the stems 
show a tendency to be weak. Height, 15 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 
100 . 
*Proserpine. (1). Though one of the oldest varieties, it retains its hold on 
the Tulip loving public because of its utter dependability. A silky, carmine- 
rose, of large size, handsome globe shape and pleasing fragrance, it is a fine 
indoor as well as a splendid bedding variety. Inside of flower has white 
base with slaty blue marks. Height, 14 inches. 90 cts. pdr dozen, $6 per 
100 . 
SHADES OF SCARLET 
We advise to force all scarlet varieties slowly at the start, otherwise they are 
apt to be green-tipped. 
*Vermillon Brillant. (2). Brilliant vermilion, with yellow base. Among the 
most brilliant of red Tulips. Is a very good early forcer and a splendid 
bedder besides. Height, 13 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
^Brilliant Star. (1). Vermilion-scarlet with a bluish black star at base, when 
forced very early, often a yellow base. Without doubt one of the best among 
the earliest red forcing Tulips. Height, 12 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 
per 100. 
*Couleur Cardinal. (4). Brilliant crimson-scarlet. An unusually substantial 
flower, with a tall strong stem. Fine bedder and late forcer. Height, 
13 inches. 90 ct,s. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
*Duc Van Thol Scarlet. (1). The earliest to bloom and especially useful for 
rock gardens, dwarf. Height, 8 inches. 70 cts. per dozen, $5 per 100. 
Why Order Early? We generally have some bulbs on hand here at Oyster Bay 
at planting time, but both number of varieties and quantity of bulbs will be 
limited. The fancier whose heart is “set” on specific varieties, should order at 
once, surely not later than August 10th. This will insure getting just the kinds 
wanted, in a bulb product second to none in the world! 
We are Tulip Specialists. In our own nurseries in Holland we grow acres of 
the choicest, both old reliable standards as well as rare novelties. Whether your 
fancy calls for early, midseason or late varieties, in most any shade of the rain¬ 
bow, we have them—and at prices within the reach of all.
