Gorgeous Tulips. 
We make a leading specialty of Tulips this season, our growers having furnished us with an 
enormous surplus of extra fine, select Bulbs at a great sacrifice in prices. We give our customers 
the benefit of this, and advise them to plant them largely. Tulips are the most gorgeous and 
satisfactory spring flower. Remember that these low prices do not represent second-class bulbs 
(we do not keep such), but strictly first quality, large and select in every way. 
There is no question but that the Tulip is the most popular spring flower that grows. The soft-, seductive breezes have 
scarce whispered in our ears that spring is at hand, ere our eyes, wearied of winter’s dull, soml'ie, lifeless tints, are dazzled 
by a sudden blaze of Tulips in rainbow shades, ribboning the earth with waiunth and color. From the first Due Van Thol 
scarce peeping above the ground, to the last Gesneriana Tulip, holding its flaming cup high aloft, there is a constant 
succession of Tulip beauties-single. double, dwarf, tall, early, medium, and late, with blossoms cup-shaped, star-formed 
bowl-like, pseony-flowered, imbricated like a rose, or twisted, waved, and horned, like the plumage of some fantastic bird.’ 
No garden can be complete without plenty of Tulips. Have some of all kinds, they are so cheap.
