Lily—Flowering Tulips 
As the result of crossing the dainty, pointed petaled 
Tulipa retroflexa with a pink Darwin, we have here a 
very beautiful and distinct race of tulips having graceful, 
slightly reflexing flowers with curved pointed petals, car- 
ALASKA. Here is a most remarkable tulip of a 
clear bright yellow and most elegant in form. The 
tone of the yellow is very unusual, so even and 
so soft it is, and the form of the long slender 
flower is equally interesting. The flower is all of 
this charming yellow, there is no other color any¬ 
where. The petals reflex slightly and the charm 
of the slender bloom is marked. A fine tulip to 
use with Mertensias or with Scilla campanulata 
var. Excelsior. $0.95 for 10; $7 per 100. 
CAPTAIN FRYATT. A most attractive tulip of 
dark ruby-violet with a violet-blue center. Petals 
reflexed. The only tulip of this color. Height, 
24 inches. $2.10 for 10; $18.50 per 100. 
ELEGANS ALBA. A delightful creamy white 
tulip with narrow carmine margin that does not 
spread as the flower ages. A bed of this is very 
pretty edged with the old-fashioned green-and- 
white-striped Funkias. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 
100 . 
LEONORA. A very lovely variety of bright yel¬ 
low with reflexed petals. A great improvement 
over the well known “Retroflexa.” Height, 26 
inches. $2.10 for 10; $18.50 per 100. 
MARCELLINA. A very graceful novelty. Its 
color is a glorious rosy-red with a pure white 
center. Petals reflex. The best Lily-flowering 
tulip in this color, an improved Sirene. $1.20 for 
10; $9.50 per 100. 
ried on tall, sturdy stems. 
They flower with the Breeder, Cottage, Hybrid and 
Darwin Tulips, during the month of May except in far 
southern areas where they bloom during April. 
RETROFLEXA SUPERBA. Effective on account 
of its severe and simple beauty. The form is par¬ 
ticularly impressive; the corolla in its lower part 
fills out roundly and delicately like an urn; then 
is somewhat contracted upward and again curved 
outward at the point of the three outer and nar¬ 
rower sepals. The stem has that slight amount 
of curvation which redeems it from the appear¬ 
ance of formality. A fresh honey-yellow, ex¬ 
tremely beautiful. Sweetly scented. $1.10 for 10; 
$8.50 per 100. 
“Odor is the crowning charm of flowerhood” 
SIRENE. The lovely Clara Butt-pink tulip, a pink 
Retroflexa. Many charming uses can be found 
for this enchanting flower. The form of it has 
always commended it to such artists as Miss 
Jekyll. A charming rosy pink, shaded pale yel¬ 
low ; and among Mertensia or near Phlox divari- 
cata, this tulip would be a delight to the eye. 
$0.90 for 10; $6.50 per 100. 
WHITE DUCHESS. Exceedingly beautiful Lily¬ 
flowering tulip of a pure snow-white. The flower 
is very large and of most artistic form; the base 
is absolutely pure, the anthers are creamy white 
giving to the entire tulip the effect of perfect 
purity. It is carried on a tall, straight, strong 
stem and will create a lovely picture if planted 
in clumps with a ground cover of Myosotis or 
Anchusa myosotidiflora. Height, 29 inches. $2.50 
for 10; $22.50 per 100. 
Botanical Tulips and Species 
The general characteristics of the various species, all of 
which are natives of Asia Minor and Central Asia, are 
bright colors and recurved petals. These tulips do not al¬ 
ways feel happy in their new surroundings and after two, 
or possibly three seasons, they will disappear. With care 
BIFLORA. Flowers are small, pure white, delicate 
and carried several on a stem. $2.50 for 10; $22.50 
per 100. 
CLUSIANA. Often called the Lady Tulip. A 
charming, sprightly, vivid, upstanding beauty, 
with grey-blue leaves and a blossom gaily striped 
in bright rose and white; one of the most fas¬ 
cinating of these species. The small, pointed 
flower is of artistic form, distinct and beautiful. 
A mass planting underneath a group of ever¬ 
greens in our recent exhibition garden at the 
International Flower Show always creates tre¬ 
mendous enthusiasm and is most effective. Plant 
this tulip in masses or in clumps or use it as edg- 
ing; you will like it anywhere. We have seen it 
massed on a bank with Narcissus Poetaz Elvira 
and rising out of Forget-me-nots, or amongst 
and the provision of suitable quarters they will flower quite 
satisfactorily. They feel best contented in rock gardens 
and borders. The list we offer contains the varieties that 
have proven most satisfactory. WE GUARANTEE

right on tall stiff stem. Very interesting and

let and gold. $2 for 10; $17.50 per 100.

specially valuable for planting in the rock gar¬

there in the early flower border. In early April 
the delightful, very showy flowers appear, about 
six inches above the ground spreading themselves 
over fine foliage; its cup is like a star, yellow with 
white lights. Several flowers are produced on a
