TULIPS 
the great International Flowershow "Flora" at 
Heemstede, Holland, in 1935. It is best described 
as salmon-pink running lighter toward the 
edges of petals. Very outstanding, tall, strong 
growing tulip. $7.25 for 10; $70 per 100. 
PRINCE OF WALES: Here is a shining cherry- 
red Darwin, the red of those sashes and hair 
ribbons which, if we were very good, we were 
permitted when small. The merest suspicion of 
blue in its hue makes it eminently suitable for 
use with myosotis, mertensia, or the spring¬ 
blooming phlox, and if a brilliant and dashing 
effect should be wanted, it might be grown 
above the double white arabis in long drifts or 
colonies or both naturally intermingled, not reg¬ 
ularly set. A magnificent tulip of upstanding and 
commanding poise. The deep flower with its 
long pointed petals has in its gleaming cherry- 
red an intangible golden glow; the base is white 
with blue halo. Height, 28 inches. $.85 for 10; $6 
per 100. 
PRINCESS ELIZABETH: An extraordinarily 
lovely rose-pink tulip with topaz lights and hints 
of fuchsia shadowings on the exterior and a 
clearly defined white base with a blue halo. The 
cup is large and rather deep, of slender yet 
rounded form, and opens well. Delightful with 
a foreground of dark Phlox G. F. Wilson, or 
planted in front of dark evergreens. Heights, 28 
inches. $.75 for 10; $5 per 100. 
PRINCESS MARY: Here is a long slender, egg- 
shaped tulip of exquisite and gentle grace, a 
most glorious hue, indeed one of the finest of all 
the Darwins. The flower is very large and well 
shaped, of a full warm rose-pink, deeper within 
and with fawn-colored lights and a fine pale rib 
down each petal; a white base with purple halo. 
The inner tone of pink is both deep and rich. 
Lovely with fluffy white flowers. For this stately 
and tall tulip, the use of Dicentra spectabilis is 
suggested, if planted in the border. Dicentra 
might well be set in front of, as well as among 
such a tulip as "Princess Mary" as the latter is 
sure to tower above the plants of bleeding heart. 
If planted in partial shade the magnificent color 
will show to the best advantage. Height, 35 
inches. We are very glad to have the opportun¬ 
ity now to offer this beautiful variety at a more 
moderate price. See illustration. $1.85 for 10; 
$16 per 100. 
RONALD GUNN: Very large handsomely formed 
flower of dusky plum color with a pale border 
and amethyst and bronze lights within and a 
dark base. A unique variety which comes closer 
to true blue than any other tulip. Would be very 
effective interplanted with English bluebells 
(Scilla campanulata). Height, 28 inches. $.90 for 
10; $6.50 per 100. 
THE BISHOP: This highly desirable tulip is 
often considered the best in its color; we always 
use it in our plantings for our exhibits. It is a 
tall variety with a medium sized cup of a lively 
tone of bishop's purple with illusive fawn col¬ 
ored lights on the reverse of the petals and a 
white interior base with black anthers. Would 
be superb above a carpet of apricot colored 
violas. Height, 30 inches. See illustration. $1. 
for 10; $7.50 per 100. 
THE PEACH: A most attractively colored tulip 
of peach color with large white center. The 
flower is of very good size and is carried on a 
stiff stem. A very fine exhibition variety. $3.75 
for 10; $35 per 100. 
TURNER: Extra large flower of exceedingly rich 
cherry-rose color, outside purple-garnet. This is 
an extra fine variety that should be in every 
worthwhile collection. See illustration. $.85 for 
10; $6 per 100. 
VALENTIN: A tall nobly carried tulip, deep 
mauve-violet in color with light mallow-purple 
lights within and a bright blue base. One of the 
earliest Darwins to flower and lasting well. This 
large bold flower beautifully formed, makes a 
fine companion for the lemon colored tulip 
"Moonlight" or the deliciously colored "Madame 
Buyssens," with a floor of viola "Jersey Gem." 
Height, 35 inches. See illustration. $.85 for 10; 
$6 per 100. 
VENUS: This whole flower has a chalice or cup 
of the loveliest, deepest pink. A very finely 
formed flower, which is held at the top of a three 
foot stem. Its faint flush of paler pink at the top 
of the inner petals adds to the charm of the 
flower; its general color is that of the deepest
