TULIPS 
heavenly purity. A suggestion for planting 
would be Phlox divaricata Laphami, Barr's 
Alpine Blue with Aubretia below; which with 
the dominating flower of this glorious tulip will 
produce a spring picture well worth creating. 
Height, 28 inches. $1.65 for 10; $14 per 100. 
INSURPASSABLE: Here is another Hybrid of 
exceptional merit. A very large lilac flower, of 
fine form and great substance, held aloft on tall 
strong stem. Planted with Munstead primroses, 
or rising out of a mass of forget-me-nots and the 
double arabis, or standing in a clump by itself, 
this unusual variety will attract immediate atten¬ 
tion and will make very beautiful groupings. A 
clump placed at the foot of a laburnum will be 
exceptionally pretty. Indeed worthy of your 
careful consideration for a spot in your garden 
where you would place some of these choice 
tulips. Height, 28 inches. See illustration. $2 for 
10; $17.50 per 100. 
JUBILEE: Of deepest wine color and deepest 
violet, this tulip with its splendid carriage, good 
form and strong texture has a place by itself 
among the purple Darwins. A very fine, grace¬ 
fully carried tulip whose dusky coloring used 
generously has the value of shadow in the bor¬ 
ders. The corinthian-purple coloring is toned 
down at the edges of the petals to daphne-red; 
the base is bright blue with greenish markings. 
Its telling hue is charming above forget-me-nots, 
and if planted with a variety such as "Duchess 
of Hohenberg," in drifts above these blue flow¬ 
ers, the effect should be wonderfully good. 
Height, 31 inches. $1 for 10; $7.50 per 100. 
KATHLEEN PARLOW: An exceptionally fine 
new Darwin of such unusual coloring that it 
draws immediate attention in the border. The 
large, beautifully shaped flower is of a silvery 
rose with a white center; it is carried on a strong 
tall stem and has all the qualities to make it one 
of the most refined tulips so far introduced. 
Height, 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
BUNG GEORGE V: A dazzling cherry-rose tulip 
of great size and noble carriage; one of the finest 
introductions and a most telling color in the 
garden. The cup is graciously modeled and 
deep and the Jacqueminot shadows at the base 
of the petals lend an exquisite softness to the 
brilliant flower. The color holds well in sunshine. 
Lovely with early mauve and white irises near 
Bechtel's crab-apple. An effective setting may 
also be had by planting a mass of this amongst 
Myosotis or Cheiranthus allionii. Height, 26 
inches. See illustration. $1.05 for 10; $8 per 100. 
KING MAUVE: If a soft mauve-shaded soft rose 
Darwin is needed for certain positions or juxta¬ 
positions, this is the tulip for that purpose. It is 
a long, large, full flower, whose color is both rich 
and agreeable. It would look its best perhaps 
near one of the French Hybrid lilacs, such as 
"Renee Jarry-Desloges." It is perfect in every 
way. Height, 30 inches. $3.25 for 10; $30 for 100. 
LADY HILLINGDON: A most outstanding and 
beautiful variety. The large flowers are of a clear 
orange, shaded buff and are carried on a fine 
stem. In color, this tulip resembles very closely 
the rose by that name. $3.20 for 10; $29.50 per 100. 
LA FIANCEE. A most beautiful and distinct pink 
tulip with a blue base. Plant near purple Bar¬ 
berry or purple Plum, with camassias and bleed¬ 
ing hearts. This large and handsome tulip which 
is so splendid for mass effects, for groupings and 
for exhibition purposes, has been much in de¬ 
mand. Height, 32 inches. $.85 for 10; $6 per 100. 
LA FRANCE: Beautifully formed large bloom 
held erect on a tall stem. Of a delicate pink re¬ 
sembling the rose of this name, with a pure 
white center. A very lovely novelty that has 
been greaty admired at the flower shows. 
Height, 28 inches. See illustration. $1.25 for 10; 
$10 per 100. 
LA TOSCA: The very fine, large, egg-shaped 
flower opens a sulphur-yellow, turning, as the 
flower ages, into sulphur-white. A strong grow¬ 
ing tulip of delicate beauty, held aloft on strong 
stiff stem. Height, 27 inches. $2.85 for 10; $26 
per 100. 
LA TRISTESSE: Very late and very tall this tulip 
is extremely useful. The cup is large and well 
rounded and rather long of petal: the color is 
lavender, a cold tone with little pink in it, paling 
to silver at the edges of the petals, and with
