TULIPS 
CITY OF HAARLEM: A dependable, handsome 
Darwin of great substance and of a fiery car¬ 
dinal-red. The deep violet base of this tulip, out¬ 
lined in white, gives it a striking effect when 
open. It is admirably at home among all the 
lighter colored spring flowers, such as the hardy 
Alyssum Silver Queen, with gay effects in the 
garden or border. Height, 31 inches. $1.10 for 10; 
$8.50 per 100. 
CLARA BUTT: Lovely pure pink tulip that should 
be in quantity in every garden; of a delightful 
color that will go with most anything. In some 
lights illusive soft salmon suffusions in this fine 
flower add to the interest of this beautiful blos¬ 
som. Would make a striking effect massed 
against purple Barberry. Height, 28 inches. $.75 
for 10; $5 per 100. 
DRESDEN CHINA: Elegantly shaped flower of 
true Darwin type, carried on very tall straight 
stem. The well chosen name is indicative of the 
unusual colorings represented in this fine vari¬ 
ety. It is a very bright tulip that draws immedi¬ 
ate attention in a collection. Indeed a unique 
flower, which would be extremely effective over 
yellow pansies or Munstead primroses. Height, 
30 inches. See illustration. $2. for 10; $17.50 per 
100 . 
DUCHESS OF HOHENBERG: Most lovely asso¬ 
ciation of grey-lilac and rosy heliotrope. A mag¬ 
nificent flower of perfect form, borne on a stiff 
stem. Makes lovely beds with white violas. 
Height, 29 inches. See illustration. $1.45 for 10; 
$12 per 100. 
ECLIPSE: Dark, rich, red Darwins are not too 
common, but here is one of beautiful form, 
splendid firmness of petal and stem, which 
would be capital if used with "La Tulipe Noire," 
a tulip long known to many of us as a most val¬ 
uable flower for the spring enrichment of the 
border. "Eclipse" is a glowing, dark blood-red 
flower with a lustrous surface and violet, white- 
margined center. So substantial is its quality 
that it lasts well through the tulip season. Makes 
an indescribably gay display with white camas- 
sias and associated with another tulip of a more 
brilliant hue. Height, 30 inches. See illustration. 
$1.65 for 10; $14 per 100. 
FAUST: A long, large and splendid flower of 
deep wine color, much lighter than the other 
Darwin, "La Tulipe Noire," but related to that in 
color. This is a flower of oval form of fine spread¬ 
ing petal, and well held up on its tall stems; a 
magnificent thing for cutting or for rich effects 
among other tulips in the border. Height, 31 
inches. See illustration. $.85 for 10; $6 per 100. 
FLAMINGO: A genuine addition to the ranks of 
the pure pink tulips, this exquisite globular, 
pointed flower of serene color has received a 
warm welcome. It has a well defined white base 
with a blue halo and the petals have a silvery 
sheen. Enchanting amongst camassias and sil¬ 
ver leaved nepeta while it is also very effective 
amongst bleeding hearts. Height, 28 inches. $.85 
for 10; $6 per 100. 
GIANT: Immense rounded flowers of heavy tex¬ 
ture, the color of Burgundy wine, with violet 
shadowings and a white base, marked with 
blue. Indescribably rich above a carpet of 
golden brown pansies. Height, 30 inches. $.95 
for 10; $7 per 100. 
GLACIER: Undoubtedly the best of the white 
exhibition tulips. Huge flower of purest white 
and carried on a strong, tall stem. A most beau¬ 
tiful picture can be created by planting this tulip 
near Darwin tulip "Eclipse" with a ground cover 
of Phlox divaricata Laphami. Height, 31 inches. 
$3.50 for 10; $32.50 per 100. 
GLORIA SWANSON: An enormous flower of 
rosy-red, becoming a clear red upon fading with 
white center. Tall strong stem, flower has great 
lasting qualities. An excellent variety for exhibi¬ 
tion purposes. Height, 28 inches. $1.10 for 10; 
$8.50 per 100. 
HELEN EAKIN: This chaste, noble tulip is con¬ 
sidered one of the finest of all white tulips, stand¬ 
ing over thirty inches tall; it has a round cup 
which for purity of color and perfection of tex¬ 
ture is not to be seen elsewhere. There is no col¬ 
ored base; the tulip is the purest white through¬ 
out except for soft violet anthers and greenish 
white stigma. Its gentle curves and beautiful 
proportion give it a look of great distinction; 
matchless of form, of great size, it is a svmbol of
