THE BLUE BOOK OF BULBS 
Especially Beautiful Varieties of Bulbs 
Which Ought to be Better Known 
The varieties chosen for especial notice on this page are not 
novelties, but rather some little-known kinds which I believe 
ought to be in every garden. I know them all, and know that all 
of them will give pleasure. 
COUNT ANDRASSY. A Hyacinth that should be largely 
planted outdoors where the brightest of Hyacinth blues is 
desired. 
JAUNE APLATI. An exquisite combination of pale yellow and 
salmon-rose, which is as beautiful when grown under glass as 
it is in the border. 
BLEU CELESTE. A Double Tulip which flowers with the 
Darwins, has much of the Darwin color, and is rarely beautiful 
provided the true variety is obtained. 
FLAVA. A lovely pale yellow Cottage Tulip; late-flowering and 
with the sturdiness of a Darwin. 
CENTENAIRE. A splendid Darwin Tulip for forcing, both 
for color and earliness of bloom. 
RONALD GUNN. The inside coloring of this Darwin Tulip 
is one of the bluest tones in this class. It is very beautiful 
when grown out of doors and magnificent when forced. 
BACCHUS. A Breeder of glorious color, shape, and size, which 
I am able to offer this season at a much lower price than ever 
before. 
MADAME LETHIERRY. A dull-colored rose Breeder, very 
effective when planted with Darwin Tulip, Reverend Ewbank. 
EPIC. A rather late-flowering Poeticus of remarkable sub¬ 
stance; fully an inch larger in diameter than the older varietv. 
Ornatus. 
WILL SCARLETT. Although the perianth is rather ragged, 
the size and color of the cup always makes this variety greatly 
admired in my garden.
