Tulips^ Flower in May 
A Delicately 
Beautiful 
Lavender Variety 
Bleu Aimable. There are numerous 
lovely lavender Giant Flowering 
Tulips and our present business is 
to select the very finest for our 
customers to plant this fall. Mr. 
Elliott says Bleu Aimable is that 
variety. The beautiful large flower 
is colored a most exquisite lavender 
with a white base and a blue star. 
80c per doz.; $5.50 per 100. 
Remarkably 
Lovely White 
V ariety 
Zwanenburg. Yes, there is a finer 
white variety than Zwanenburg 
but it is very expensive. In the 
meantime the flowers of Zwanem 
burg are as large as the largest and 
the white is just as pure and the 
substance of the flower just as fine. 
Zwanenburg does have black an' 
thers, which, of course, prevents 
it from being a pure white Tulip. 
However, as Mr. Elliott says, “A 
little touch of black by way of con' 
trast actually improves the beauty 
of the flower.” $1.00 per doz.; 
$7.50 per 100.

The Choicest 
Flame Colored 
V ariety 
Dido. Frankly a choice among the 
varieties of this lovely group is dif' 
ficult. Afterglow, Dido, Creation, 
etc., etc., which is the finest? Mr. 
Elliott looked at them long and 
hard for many days, looked at them 
in the bright sunshine and in the 
shadow and compared them care- 
fully point by point. Finally he 
said Dido. Large flower of gor' 
geous extravagance in color royally 
placed on a strong stem 30 inches 
high. The color is soft orangemed 
gradually suffusing to deep red at 
the edges of the petals. The inside 
of the flower is a clear, brilliant 
orange without a blemish. The 
flower has a black base bordered 
deep yellow. It is marvelous in its 
beauty. 85c per doz.; $6.00 per 
100 . 
An Exquisite 
Bronze Variety 
Panorama. It is impossible to ade- 
quately describe the lovely color 
effect of this exquisite variety. 
The large flowers are colored deep 
orange, which is shaded mahog' 
any. While this description is 
scientifically accurate, it gives no 
conception of the exquisite apricot' 
bronze tones of this Tulip. 90c per 
doz.; $6.50 per 100, 
Mixed Giant Flowering Tulips. A very 
superior mixture which when purchased 
in quantities of fifty or multiples thereof, 
is guaranteed to contain ten distinct va- 
rieties. The finest mixture it is possible 
to make. 65c per doz.; $4.50 per 100. 
Royal Purple 
and Gold 
Louis XIV. When Mr. Elliott first 
saw this glorious royal purple and 
gold marvel he proclaimed it the 
most beautiful Tulip in the world, 
and though the bulbs then cost 
$50.00 each wholesale he bought 
some for his garden. While any' 
body with 95c to spend may now have 
a dozen bulbs of the finest possible quah 
ity, the royal purple color is still as glori' 
ous and the golden edge gleams as 
brightly as it did twenty odd years ago. 
The bronze flush is as delicately lovely 
and the greenback base with its yellow 
star is as pronounced as ever. Louis XIV 
is still the most beautiful Tulip in the 
world. 95c per doz.; $6.75 per 100. 
A Lovely New 
Yellow Variety 
Yellow Giant. For more than a generation 
the Dutch Plant Breeders struggled to 
produce a yellow Giant Flowering Tulip. 
Finally they succeeded and the result is 
Yellow Giant. The color is a splendid 
bright golden yellow—a clean yellow 
without a trace of either red or blue to 
mar its lovely tone. It is a true giant 
with a splendid large flower on a tall, 
stiff stem. $1.35 per doz.; $10.00 per 
100 .
