KING MAUVE. If a soft mauve-shaded soft rose 
Darwin is needed for certain positions or juxta¬ 
positions, this is the tulip for that purpose. It is 
a long, large, full flower, whose color is both rich 
and agreeable. It would look its best perhaps 
near one of the French Hybrid Lilacs, such as 
Renee Jarry-Desloges. It is perfect in every way. 
Height, 30 inches. $3.25 for 10; $30 for 100. 
LA FIANCEE. A most beautiful and distinct pink 
tulip with a blue base. Plant near purple Bar¬ 
berry or purple Plum, with Camassias and Bleed¬ 
ing Hearts. This large and handsome tulip which 
is so splendid for mass effects, for groupings and 
for exhibition purposes, has been much in demand. 
Height, 32 inches. $0.95 for 10; $7 per 100. 
LA FRANCE. Beautifully formed large bloom 
held erect on a tall stem. Of a delicate pink re¬ 
sembling the Rose of this name, with a pure white 
center. A very lovely novelty that has been 
greatly admired at the flower shows. Height, 28 
inches. $1.45 for 10; $12 per 100. 
LA TOSCA. The very fine, large, egg-shaped 
flower opens a sulphur-yellow, turning, as the 
flower ages, into sulphur-white. A strong grow¬ 
ing tulip of delicate beauty, held aloft on strong 
stiff stem. Height, 27 inches. $1.85 for 10; $16 
per 100. 
LA TRISTESSE. Very late and very tall this tulip 
is extremely useful. The cup is large and well 
rounded and rather long of petal: the color is 
lavender, a cold tone with little pink in it, paling 
to silver at the edges of the petals, and with 
curious ruddy stains in the interior, the surface 
fine and satiny. Yellow Tulips are its best com¬ 
panions. Height, 30 inches. $0.90 for 10; $6.50 
per 100. 
LA TULIPE NOIRE. The darkest of the tulips. 
A very large, rich velvety blackish maroon flower. 
Height, 28 inches. $0.95 for 10; $7 per 100. 
LILAC WONDER. One of the finest varieties in 
the entire collection. Enormous flower of a bright 
porcelain with a white base; a most unusual 
shade in tulips. Of great substance, possessing 
unusual keeping qualities. Height, 30 inches. 
$1.05 for 10; $8 per 100. 
MAHOGANY. A very large flower of excellent 
form, beautiful deep mahogany with a much 
darker base. A very attractive exhibition variety. 
$4.25 for 10; $40 per 100. 
MARGAUX. A tremendous flower of deep wine- 
red, broadly edged with a lighter shading of wine- 
red, blue base carried on a strong, stiff stem. A 
tulip of great size and beauty. Height, 30 inches. 
$2 for 10; $17.50 per 100. 
MAYA. This is a very beautiful true Darwin Tulip 
which is in a class with such beauties as King 
George V. and Venus. The large well formed 
flower is of a fine lilac shade and stands on a long 
strong stem. It is a beautiful exhibition variety. 
Height, 29 inches. $1.75 for 10; $15 per 100. 
MELICETTE. A flower of unusually beautiful 
form, a deep sympathetic mauve in color with a 
clear blue base and a fine silver sheen. A charm¬ 
ing flower with reflexing petals. Effective with 
Bleeding Hearts against white Spirea, or 
amongst grey-leaved plants, with a pale yellow 
tulip like “Madame Buyssens” or “Moonlight.” 
Height, 28 inches. $1.10 for 10; $8.50 per 100. 
MR. FARNCOMBE SANDERS. A vivid rose- 
scarlet flower of superb form and great size. 
Splendid for distant effects against evergreens; 
one of the very best for borders. Height, 32 
inches. $0.85 for 10; $6 per 100. * 
MRS. GRULLEMANS. A lovely pure white Dar¬ 
win-Hybrid Tulip. Large flowers of great sub¬ 
stance with pure white center and light sulphur 
anthers are carried on tall stiff stems. One of 
the finest varieties that would look well with 
Forget-me-nots or with Anchusa myosotidiflora 
or over purple Pansies. A clump of ten of these 
would be a very choice bit in your border. 
Height, 27 inches. $5 for 10; $47.50 per 100. 
MRS. HAROLD IRVING PRATT. In this superb 
tulip there is an amazing blend of soft rose and 
beige with rich Fuchsia lights and wood-brown 
shadows, with a slight tinting of bronzy yellow 
at the extreme edges of the petals. Its base is yel¬ 
low with dusky anthers. It is a proudly carried 
flower of richly opulent curves. Of great size, 
rounding cup with a slight suggestion of reflexing 
of the outer petals.. One of the most entrancing 
color combinations ever seen in any tulip. It is 
one of the most arresting tulips of recent intro¬ 
duction. The whole flower, whether seen from 
near or far, creates a sensation in the mind of the 
lover of tulips, and of curiosity and admiration 
in the mind of the casual observer. It is seen at 
its best against the dark surfaces of Yew or Box, 
and, if it must have companions, the delicate grey 
feathers of Artemesia and a few clumps of Violas 
will not detract from its beauty. An early pale 
lavender Iris would form a perfect companion for 
this tulip. The late Scilla campanulata var. Ex¬ 
celsior, clustering about its base might enhance 
the effect, or Mertensia would also be a delight¬ 
ful flower near this one. A pale yellow Cottage or 
Hybrid Tulip or a dark chestnut-colored Breeder 
also could properly stand near it. Height, 34 
inches. $2.10 for 10; $18.50 per 100. 
MRS. MANDEL. A superior tulip with very large 
and substantial flowers. The color is a violet-blue 
flushed lilac base. A strong grower. Height, 28 
inches. $1.05 for 10; $8 per 100. 
PRIDE OF HAARLEM. An old, but very fine 
tulip. Of brilliant rosy carmine with blue base. 
Very large flower of superb form borne on a tall 
strong stem. Height, 30 inches. $0.80 for 10; 
$5.50 per 100. 
PRINCESS ELIZABETH. An extraordinarily 
lovely rose-pink tulip with topaz lights and hints 
of Fuchsia shadowings on the exterior and a 
clearly defined white base with a blue halo. The 
cup is large and rather deep, of slender yet 
rounded form, and opens well. Delightful with 
a foreground of Phlox G. F. Wilson, or planted 
in front of dark evergreens. Height, 28 inches. 
$0.85 for 10; $6 per 100. 
PRINCESS MARY. Here is a long slender, egg- 
shaped tulip of exquisite and gentle grace, a 
most glorious hue, indeed one of the finest of all 
the Darwins. The flower is very large and well 
shaped, of a full warm rose-pink, deeper within
