FALL CATALOGUE OF BULBS THAT BLOOM FOR 1897. 
Bi^ard apd Byhlooip Tulips. 
It seems strange these are not more commonly grown, for 
their large cup-like blooms, feathered and flaked as only a 
Tulip can be, are always admired more than any other. By¬

ered, rose, lilac, pink, purple, violet, scarlet, black and crim¬

maroon, black, scarlet, bronze and brown. We offer a fine 
mixture of every imaginable color and marking. We know

Variegated Foliage 
TULIPS. 
These Tulips are doubly de- 
fsirable in that the foliage as 
I well as the blossoms is very 
| handsome. The broad green 
! leaves are elegantly bordered 
I or striped with white or 
t creamy-yellow, which sets off 
Ithe brilliancy of the blossoms 
fto great advantage. For pots 
fthey are just superb, and 
abloom splendidly in midwin- 
jter. For the garden they are 
i novel and charming. We ad¬ 
vise our customers to plant 
each variety.

Tulip^ 
Picotee Tulips. 
These are quite new, and to our minds the most exquisite 
of all. They bloom later than the single early varieties, or 
about the same time as the Byblooms. Flowers very large, 
and borne on tall, graceful stems, like Gesneriana. Each 
petal has a distinct border of bright crimson which is most 
beautiful, and gives them the name of “Picotee.” They are 
extra fine for winter blooming and for the garden, but they 
will show the most color in the garden. 
Picotee White —Exquisite wavy petals of large size; pure 
white with a fine border of crimson, which makes the 
flower exceptionally beautiful. 
Picotee Yellow—Like the above, but golden yellow, with 
crimson edge. 
PRICE— Sc. each; 6 (S of each) for 25c.; hoc. per dozen. 
Tulipa Greigi. 
Its large green leaves are variegated with black spots, 
while the flower, which is of the largest size, is clear trans¬ 
parent scarlet, as clear and beautiful as a sheet of wax. No 
other Tulip has a color like it, and none are so strikingly 
beautiful. Its magnificent color shows up almost like a 
torch in a dark night. Splendid for pots or the open ground, 
being a hardy, rank grower, and early. 15c. each; 3 for 40c. 
Tulipa Gesneriana. 
The grandest Tulip in ex¬ 
istence. Tall giowing and 
late blooming, with large, 
long leaves, and tall erect 
flower stalks, which support 
gieat waxen blooms larger 
than teacups, of the most 
vivid, glossy, coral-red, each 
flower showing a deep blue- 
black blotch at the base,that 
further enhances its beauty. 
They remain in bloom a long 
time, and clumps of this 
grand flower are particular¬ 
ly fine planted among ever¬ 
greens or shrubbery lighting 
up their sombre background 
as with a flaming torch. 
Scarlet Blue Center— The 
true Gesneriana, as de¬ 
scribed above. 
Colden Yellow —Exactly 
like the above, except a 
golden- yellow color. A 
superb novelty. 
PRICE— on. each; 3 for 10c.; 
12 for 35c.
