for their large, cup-like blossoms, feathered and flaked as 
only a Tulip can be, .are always admired more than any 
other. Byblooms have white, light or violet grounds, flaked 
and feathered, rose, lilac, pink, purple, violet, scarlet, black 
and crimson. Bizards have yellow grounds, flamed and 
blazed maroon, black, scarlet, bronze and brown. We offer 
a fine mixture of every imaginable color and marking. We 
know our customers, if they could but see a bed of these in 
thejr gorgeous splendor, could not resist the temptation of 
buying a liberal quantity of them.
