Single Early Tulips, Continued. 
ORANGE SHADES 
*De Wet. (3). Named after the famous Boer leader, this Tulip may be likened 
to him because as yet the rest of the tribe have not caught up with it, and 
it will probably not be superseded for some time to come. It is one of the 
outstanding varieties for bedding. A golden yellow, flushed and stippled 
deep orange softened by a golden sheen. One of the outstanding early vari¬ 
eties for forcing. The flowers are large and delicately scented. Height. 
16 inches. $1 per dozen, $7 per 100. 
*Hobbema (Le Reve). (4). Old rose, flushed buff. An extremely handsome 
globe-shaped flower of unusual substance and very attractive color. Extra 
for late forcing and bedding. This is really a marvelous variety, blooming 
late and “bridging the gap” between the early and May-flowering sorts. 
Height, 13 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
*Prince of Austria. (3). Large sweet-scented flower on a tall strong stem, 
blooming over a long period. Color—a rich orange-scarlet, shading to 
deep brick-red as it gets old. One of the easiest to force and a fine bedding 
variety as well. Height, 16 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
*Fred Moore. (2). A deservedly popular variety for both indoor culture and 
outdoor bedding. Color a soft, rosy terra-cotta with edge of petals shaded 
orange-yellow, base of cup marked olive-green. Flowers of medium size 
but sweet scented. One of the finest for window culture. Height, 15 
inches. 70 cts. per dozen, $5 per 100. 
YELLOW 
*Rising Sun. (2). Deep golden yellow. It is a real giant on a tall and strong 
stem which excels all yellow Tulips for bedding or forcing. Height, 16 
inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
*Gold-Finch. (2). Deep yellow; sweet-scented; a sport of Yellow Prince, 
without the brownish red streaks, retaining the color until the petals drop. 
One of the best for bedding and forcing. Height, 13 inches. 90 cts. per 
dozen, $6 per 100. 
*Mon Tresor. (1). Intense golden yellow of large size. One of the earliest and 
easiest forcers. Height, 12 inches. $1.15 per dozen, $8 per 100. 
*Yellow Prince, (2). Clear yellow; sweet-scented. The most popular of the 
yellow Tulips for forcing, but not recommended for bedding. Height, 13 
inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
*Calypso. (2). Light sulphur-yellow. Fine when planted beside purple-violet 
varieties. Height, 12 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
PURPLE SHADES 
*Van der Neer. (2). Brilliant, violet-purple, a shade different from that found 
in any other Tulip. It seems particularly well adapted to northern sections, 
because it enjoys tremendous popularity in the Scandinavian countries in 
Europe. The flowers are large, of elegant form and supported by strong 
stems. Height, 12 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
*Cerise Gris-de-lin. (4). Dark carmine-violet, shaded fawn and margined 
creamy white. An exquisite variety, equally suitable for beds, and late 
forcing. Height, 13 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100.
