Superb above a floor of the darkest purple Pan¬ 
sies. Height, 31 inches. $0.95 for 10; $7.25 per 100. 
WILLIAM THE SILENT. What a marvel is this 
among the purple Breeder Tulips! Its widely 
opened cup of warm, reddish purple, its generally 
superb appearance, the fine texture of its petals 
make it an outstanding purple tulip, and one de- 
Cottage and 
Cottage tulips are varieties which have been found, for 
the most part, sequestered in the old cottage gardens of the 
British Isles. Hybrid Tulips are the results of crosses be¬ 
tween the Cottage, Breeder and Darwin Tulips. They 
flower approximately at the same time as the Breeder and 
Darwin Tulips, during the month of May, with exception 
of the far southern section, where they bloom in April. 
They are often marked by long, rather pointed petals and 
thin, wiry stems. 
ALBINO. A charming pure white tulip, large 
well formed splendid bloom on strong, tall stem. 
One of the very few really good white varieties 
of May-flowering tulips. Height, 26 inches. $0.95 
for 10; $7 per 100. 
AMBROSIA. A rich and luscious flower of pale 
terra-cotta, with amber lights and a rosy glow 
throughout, this is a tulip that commands de¬ 
lighted attention wherever seen. It sets one to 
marveling at what has been done in hybridizing. 
Ambrosia is a flower of great size and rather 
slender form, held at the top of a very long fine 
stem. For cutting or garden use it is nothing 
less than superb, and the variety of color in the 
flower itself will be sufficient to suggest endless 
lovely combinations of it with other spring 
flowers. It is the artist’s tulip. To its other 
charms it adds that of delicious fragrance. Long 
lasting and especially fine for cutting. Plant or 
cut this new beauty with Darwin Tulip Faust, its 
perfect foil. Height, 30 inches. $0.95 for 10; $7 
per 100. 
ARETHUSA. A charming two-tone tulip. A 
gloriously large and freely opened cup with broad 
petals slightly reflexing, of unusual grace and 
beauty. The artistically formed flower is of a 
translucent light chrome-yellow. There is hardly 
in the world a tint just like it, contrasting per¬ 
fectly with the green of its leaf adding to its 
other charms an exquisite spring-like fragrance, 
all that makes spring intoxicating to sense and 
spirit. Massed over brown Wallflowers or rising 
out of drifts of trembling Forget-me-nots, or in 
combination with Bizarre Tulip Zebra, they will 
create unforgettable pictures. It is also especially 
lovely among pale Violas, or planted in a bed 
above English Daisies. Fine for cutting, a most 
important acquisition. Height, 25 inches. $1.05 
for 10, $8 per 100. 
AVIS KENNICOTT. Very large, chrome-yellow 
flower, with striking black base and anthers. 
Sometimes appears without this black base. Ef¬ 
fective grown near Iris Kochii, planted amongst 
blue Myosotis or Mertensia virginica, or have them 
rise in quantity from a solid bed of white Pansies 
or Arabis the long flower held up straight on a 
serving its illustrious name. The flower is car¬ 
ried on a strong tall stem. With its striking 
creamy base outlined with blue, and its purple 
velvet anthers, it is a variety to adorn the state¬ 
liest garden. A beautiful combination may be had 
by planting Cottage Tulip Mayflower or a similar 
shade amongst, or in front of, William the Silent. 
Height, 30 inches; $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 100. 
Hybrid Tulips 
All the tulips offered in our list are beautiful, presenting 
a great variety in form and coloring. They are prized for 
cutting because of their long stems and graceful habit, and 
are especially adaptable for permanent, hardy flower bor¬ 
ders where they should be freely planted in large clumps 
and in masses. 
Plant six inches deep and not less than five inches apart. 
In planting in clumps, set the bulbs about three inches 
apart. To insure proper drainage, sand, to the depth of 
an inch, should be put underneath the bulb. 
strong stem. For magnificent effect great masses 
of this variety should be planted. Height, 27 
inches. $0.95 for 10; $7 per 100. 
BARBARA PRATT. One of the most remarkably 
beautiful and brilliant tulips of recent introduc¬ 
tion. The color is a most radiant cherry-pink with 
an extraordinary effect of golden light shining 
through it. The flower is long and exquisitely 
modeled and gives forth a delicious fragrance. 
It does not fade in the sun and lasts in perfection 
for a much longer period than most tulips. A 
luminous and beautiful flower, worthy of a fine 
name, undoubtedly destined for a great future. 
Height, 36 inches. $2.10 for 10; $18.50 per 100. 
BUFF BEAUTY. This unusually interesting and 
beautiful tulip is the result of a cross between a 
Darwin and a Breeder. It has the trig cupped 
form of the Darwins with strong erect stem of 
medium length, but the color of the flower is in 
the best tradition of the Cottage type, a rich 
glowing blend of coral-rose and dark amber with 
a canary base and buff anthers. The color is so 
delicate, its flushes so lovely, the soft contrasts 
and glow are so remarkable that one has difficulty 
giving a restrained description of its charms. It 
is richly fragrant and would make a superb bed 
above brown velvet Wallflowers. Height, 25 
inches. $1.05 for 10; $8 per 100. 
CARRARA. This is a fair pale tulip, which has 
already created by its beauty a sensation at the 
great flower shows. It is as round as the breast 
of a swan; as purely white as the marble from 
which it takes its name, and is in all ways an 
enchanting tulip. A most entrancing and delicate 
flower. It has been extremely scarce, now avail¬ 
able at a more reasonable price. $1.20 for 10; 
$9.50 per 100. 
DIDO. Here is a perfect flower bewitching in its 
loveliness. Unspeakably glorious in its extraordi¬ 
narily luminous light effects and its long and 
slender form, poised firmly at the top of its tall 
straight stem that it must strike everyone as 
among the wonders of the world of tulips. Its 
color is deep rich pink or light Jasper red, with 
Lambert topaz lights and amber edges to the
