and with fawn-colored lights and a fine pale rib 
down each petal; a white base with purple halo. 
The inner tone of pink is both deep and rich. 
Lovely with fluffy white flowers. For this stately 
and tall tulip, the use of Dicentra spectabilis is 
suggested, if planted in the border. Dicentra 
might well be set in front of, as well as among 
such a tulip as Princess Mary as the latter is 
sure to tower above the plants of Bleeding Heart. 
If planted in partial shade the magnificent color 
will show to the best advantage. Height, 35 
inches. I am very glad to have the opportunity 
to now offer this so beautiful variety at a more 
moderate price. $1.90 for 10; $16.50 per 100. 
PRINCE OF WALES. Here is a shining cherry- 
red Darwin, the red of those sashes and hair 
ribbons which, if we were very good, we were 
permitted when small. The merest suspicion of 
blue in its hue makes it eminently suitable for 
use with Myosotis, Mertensia, or the spring- 
blooming Phlox, and if a brilliant and dishing 
effect should be wanted, it might be grown above 
the double white Arabis in long drifts or colonies 
or both naturally intermingled, not regularly set. 
A magnificent tulip of upstanding and command¬ 
ing poise. The deep flower with its long pointed 
petals has in its gleaming cherry-red an intan¬ 
gible golden glow; the base is white with blue 
halo. Height, 28 inches. $0.90 for 10; $6.50 per 100. 
RONALD GUNN. Very large handsomely formed 
flower of dusky plum color with a pale border 
and amethyst and bronze lights within and a 
dark base. A unique variety which comes closer 
to true blue than any other tulip. Would be very 
effective interplanted with English Bluebells 
(Scilla campanulata). Height, 28 inches. $0.90 
for 10; $6.50 per 100. 
THE BISHOP. This highly desirable tulip is 
often considered the best in its color; we always 
use it in our plantings for our exhibits. It is a 
tall variety with a medium sized cup of a lively 
tone of Bishop’s purple with illusive fawn col¬ 
ored lights on the reverse of the petals and a 
white interior base with black anthers. Would 
be superb above a carpet of apricot colored Violas. 
Height, 30 inches. $1.15 for 10; $9 per 100. 
THE PEACH. A most attractively colored tulip 
of peach color with large white center. The flower 
is of very good size and is carried on a stiff stem. 
A very fine exhibition variety. $4 for 10; $37.50 
per 100. 
TURNER. Extra large flower of exceedingly rich 
cherry-rose color, outside purple-garnet. This is 
an extra fine variety that should be in every 
worthwhile collection. $1 for 10; $7.50 per 100. 
VALENTIN. A tall nobly carried tulip, deep 
mauve-violet in color with light mallow-purple 
lights within and a bright blue base. One of the 
earliest Darwins to flower and lasting well. This 
large bold flower beautifully formed, makes a fine 
companion for the lemon colored tulip Moon¬ 
light or the deliciously colored Madame Buyssens, 
with a floor of Viola Jersey Gem. Height, 35 
inches. $0.90 for 10; $6.50 per 100. 
VENUS. This whole flower has a chalice or cup 
of the loveliest, deepest pink. A very finely 
formed flower, which is held at the top of a three 
foot stem. Its faint flush of paler pink at the top 
of the inner petals adds to the charm of the 
flower; its general color is that of the deepest 
pink June Rose. Only the taller spring flowers 
should cluster about the plantings of the tulip— 
Mertensia virginica is one that could not fail to 
look well here, or a mass of Scilla campanulata 
var. Excelsior. This appealing and beautiful 
flower, finely modeled, is one of the most attrac¬ 
tive of the pink tulips with its pure color as of 
a wild rose. I have seen it massed against the 
low-sweeping plumes of white Persian Lilacs with 
splendid effect. Height, 30 inches. $0.95 for 10; 
$7 per 100. 
WHITE GIANT. This is a perfect white tulip. 
It has the correct Darwin form, straight, stiff and 
tall stem, flower petals are thick; it is without 
question one of the best white tulips in the col¬ 
lection. An outstanding exhibition variety. 
Height, 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
ZULU. Shining blackish purple flower with dis¬ 
tinct violet edge. A graceful variety with pointed 
petals. Fine as a border plant. Height, 29 inches. 
$0.90 for 10; $6.50 per 100. 
ZWANENBURG. A good white Darwin Tulip 
available at a reasonable price. Flower is pure 
white, large and of good substance. $1.05 for 10; 
$8 per 100. 
We recommend that garden lovers always secure the heaviest “Mother Bulbs’’ 
for most successful tulip planting. Our Holland growers have frequently 
told us that less than five per cent of the entire Holland bulb crop consists of 
that extra high grade which we demand from them. Our prices in these lists 
are based upon delivery of such Supreme Quality only. 
For the selection and reservation in Holland of this Superior 
Quality, it will be of great help if you kindly send your 
orders very early, preferably before July fifteenth.
