TULIPS 
spring intoxicating to sense and spirit. Massed 
over brown wallflowers or rising out of drifts 
of trembling forget-me-nots, or in combination 
with Bizarre tulips, they will create unforget¬ 
table pictures. It is also especially lovely 
among pale violas, or planted in a bed above 
English daisies. Fine for cutting. A most impor¬ 
tant acquisition. Height, 25 inches. $.95 for 10, 
$7 per 100. 
AVIS KENNICOTT: Very large, chrome-yellow 
flower, with striking black base and anthers. 
Sometimes appears without this black base. 
Effective grown near Iris Kochii, planted 
amongst blue Myosotis or Mertensia virginica, 
or have them rise in quantity from a solid bed 
of white pansies or arabis, the long flower held 
up straight on a strong stem. For magnificent 
effect great masses of this variety should be 
planted. Height, 27 inches. $.90 for 10; $6.50 
per 100. 
BARBARA PRATT: One of the most remarkably 
beautiful and brilliant tulips of recent introduc¬ 
tion. The color is a most radiant cherry-pink 
with an extraordinary effect of golden light 
shining through it. The flower is long and ex¬ 
quisitely modeled and gives forth a delicious 
fragrance. It does not fade in the sun and lasts 
in perfection for a much longer period than 
most tulips. A luminous and beautiful flower, 
worthy of a fine name, undoubtedly destined 
for a great future. Height, 36 inches. See illus¬ 
tration. $1.50 for 10; $12 per 100. 
BETSY ROSS: Another of the new orange col¬ 
ored Hybrids. A tulip that commands attention 
whenever seen. Of a bright deep orange, the 
large flower is carried on a fine stem. $1.25 for 
10; $10 per 100. 
BUFF BEAUTY: This unusually interesting and 
beautiful tulip is the result of a cross between 
a Darwin and a Breeder. It has the trig cupped 
form of the Darwins with strong erect stem of 
medium length, but the color of the flower is in 
the best tradition of the Cottage type, a rich 
glowing blend of coral-rose and dark amber 
with a canary base and buff anthers. The color 
is so delicate, its flushes so lovely, the soft con¬ 
trasts and glow are so remarkable that one has 
difficulty giving a restrained description of its 
charms. It is richly fragrant and would make a 
superb bed above brown velvet wallflowers. 
Height, 25 inches. $.95 for 10; $7 per 100. 
CARRARA: This is a fair pale tulip, which has 
already created by its beauty a sensation at the 
great flower shows. It is as round as the breast 
of a swan; as purely white as the marble from 
which it takes its name, and is in all ways an 
enchanting tulip. A most entrancing and deli¬ 
cate flower. It has been extremely scarce, now 
available at a more reasonable price. See illus¬ 
tration. $1.10 for 10; $8.50 per 100. 
CLAUDIUS PERNET: A beautiful flower which 
has been one of our most outstanding tulips at 
"Paradou" during the 1935 flowering season. 
It is best described as being of a bright light 
orange. $2.05 for 10; $18 per 100. 
DIDO: Here is a perfect flower bewitching in its 
loveliness. Unspeakably glorious in its extraor¬ 
dinarily luminous light effects and its long and 
slender form, poised firmly at the top of its tall 
straight stem that it must strike everyone as 
among the wonders of the world of tulips. Its 
color is deep rich pink or light Jasper red, with 
Lambert topaz lights and amber edges to the 
petals, the base and anthers pale corn-yellow. 
A lovely ensemble and warmly fragrant. It has 
no peer as an unusually magnificent tulip, the 
sweet fragrance adding much to the value of 
the flower. Where a bright color effect is needed 
it is superb. Height, 32 inches. See illustration. 
$.85 for 10; $6 per 100. 
GEISHA: A most attractive novelty. Flowers are 
very large of soft greyish lilac on outside with a 
delicate bright purplish violet on inside. Height 
26 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12 per 100. 
GOLDEN AGE. This is one of the most beautiful 
of all yellow Hybrids of recent introduction. The 
large flower of a bright golden orange is carried 
on tall stiff stem. A valuable addition to your col¬ 
lection; may we suggest that you try a few of 
these to put a clump here and there in your bor¬ 
der plantings? Height, 28 inches. See illustration. 
$5 for 10; $47.50 per 100.
