MARECHAL VICTOR: A Breeder of unusual 
interest in color, bronze with rosy purple flush,

tration. $1.15 for 10; $9 per 100.

girl. The bloom is immense in size of Breeder 
type and of a lovely shade of clearest purple, 
carried on tall erect stem. Rising out of a mass 
of orange and purple pansies, or bronzy prim¬ 
rose as seen in one of America's most beautiful 
gardens, "Welwyn," this fine tulip creates a pic¬ 
ture that is lovely indeed. Height, 32 inches. $2.50 
for 10; $22.50 per 100.

house. Height, 30 inches. $.95 for 10; $7 per 100.

eties. Rich dark purple with plum bloom on outer

the effect in mass planting would be very fine.
