OLD DUTCH BREEDER TULIPS 
MANY RARE SHADES FOUND IN THIS GLASS 
This fine, old May-flowering type of Tulip has been neglected 
for many years, but is again becoming popular; in fact, Breeder 
Tulips have, for the past four or five years, been given great 
prominence in many of the strictly up-to-date gardens. 
They are very similar to the Darwins in their tall growth, 
and have even larger flowers. They bloom about the same 
time, but have an entirely different range of colors, comprising 
bronze, terra cotta, orange brown and other artistic tones al¬ 
together wanting in the Darwins.

GERMAN PEAT MOSS 
Peat Moss makes the finest mulch for plants and bulbs that we know of. It does not mat down and choke the 
plants as leaves have a tendency to do, nor will it bring weeds into your garden as is often the case when you use 
hay or straw. Furthermore, Peat Moss will improve your soil; it is especially fine for heavy clay soils and light, 
sandy soils. 
A further use for Peat Moss is in the Rock Garden. It is difficult to keep the weeds out of a Rock Garden and as 
most Rock Gardens are built on a slope heavy rains will wash the soil. A good application of Peat Moss will check 
the weed growth and will also help to prevent the soil from washing. 
Prices, not postpaid: Carton of about two bushels, 65c; Vi bale (about 5 Vi bu.), $1.25; full bale (about 22 bu.), 
$3.00.
