(Bh inese (lantern tulips 
First Introduction. 
For the time being we will offer these gorgeous new 
hybrids under a separate heading. Should we have offered 
them for sale in the alphabetical list of Tulips they would 
be difficult to describe or might be overlooked. 
Imagine a handful of Tulips with the delicate pure pastel 
shades of our finest Sweet Peas and you have but a fair 
description of their colors. The general effect, however, is 
that of lighted, delicately colored Chinese Lanterns. 
The perfectly formed globular blossoms glow with an 
iridescent light not heretofore seen in Tulips. The cob 
ors are too exquisite to accurately describe. They have been 
admired by visiting growers from all over Europe. 
The introduction of these lovely hybrids has been given 
to Wayside Gardens. We are offering them to you under 
number in a collection and will be grateful for the sug- 
gestion of aporopriate names. The colors are all in those 
elusive tints of salmon, orange and salmon-pink. 
Chinese Lantern Tulips, 3 bulbs of each of 6 distinct 
varieties, 18 bulbs in all for $4.50. (Stock limited and 
offered for as long as unsold). 
^Bizarre and £$ijbloem CFulips 
(Old Dutch Tulips) 
Bybloem and Bizarre Tulips are “rectified” Breeder 
types. The Tulips are of an old race which has been grown 
in Holland and in France since the beginning of the seven* 
teenth century, and which caused the famous Tulip craze 
in 1635. The Bybloems are queerly striped and feathered 
rose or violet on a white ground. The Bizarres have dark 
brown stripes and feathering on a yellow ground. They 
flower about the same time as the Breeder and Darwin 
Tulips but do not grow quite so tall, and are seen at best 
advantage when planted in clumps in the herbaceous bor- 
der or among evergreens and shrubs. They are above all 
sensational show Tulips. All form rare artistic beauty.
