PURPLE SHADES 
*The Bishop. (3). The outstanding variety in its color class. Soft violet- 
purple, with small dull blue base and white halo. A truly impressive, enor¬ 
mous flower on a tall, strong stem, without any real rival in sight as yet. 
Height, 29 inches. $1.35 per dozen, $10 per 100. 
Storm King. (3). Of exceptionally rich, dark wine color—a shade that goes 
particularly well with such favorites as Dido among the Cottage. The 
flowers are of enormous size and great substance, which is responsible for 
their great lasting quality. Height, 28 inches. $1.35 per dozen, $10 per 
100 . 
Burgomaster Sandberg. (3). A shade between maroon and violet, with 
maroon predominating; might be called a plum-violet color, with a blue base 
and white halo. Beautifully shaped, large flowers on tall strong stems. 
Height, 28 inches. $1.35 per dozen, $10 per 100. 
*Giant. (2). Deep reddish purple, shaded dark violet, with white base, starred 
blue. A real giant on a tall sturdy stem. Height, 29 inches. $1 per 
dozen, $7 per 100. 
*Frans Hals. (3). Deep reddish purple. Enormous flower on a strong stem. 
Has to be planted in partial shade, as it does not stand the hot sun. Height, 
29 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
The Bishop," truly a dignified person¬ 
ality in the Tulip world.
