TULIPS 
pink "June Rose." Only the taller spring flowers 
should cluster about the plantings of the tulip— 
Mertensia virginica is one that could not fail to 
look well here, or a mass of Scilla campanulata 
var. Excelsior. This appealing and beautiful 
flower, finely modeled, is one of the most attrac¬ 
tive of the pink tulips with its pure color as of 
a wild rose. Massed against the low-sweeping 
plumes of white Persian lilacs it gives splendid 
effect. Height, 30 inches. See illustration. $.85 
for 10; $6 per 100. 
WHITE GIANT: This is a perfect white tulip. 
It has the correct Darwin form, straight, stiff and 
tall stem, flower petals are thick; it is without 
question one of the best white tulips in the col¬ 
lection. An outstanding exhibition variety. 
Height, 30 inches. $1.75 for 10; $15 per 100. 
ZULU: Shining blackish purple flower with dis¬ 
tinct violet edge. A graceful variety with pointed 
petals. Fine as a border plant. Height, 29 inches. 
$.75 for 10; $5 per 100. 
ZWANENBURG: A good white Darwin tulip 
available at a reasonable price. Flower is pure 
white, large and of good substance. $1.15 for 10; 
$9 per 100. 
LILY — FLOWERING TULIPS 
7\S the result of crossing the dainty, pointed petaled Tulipa retroflexa with a pink Darwin, we 
have here a very beautiful and distinct race of tulips having graceful, slightly reflexing 
flowers with curved pointed petals, carried on tall, sturdy stems. 
They flower with the Breeder, Cottage, Hybrid and Darwin tulips, during the month of May 
except in far southern areas where they bloom during April. 
ALASKA: Here is a most remarkable tulip of a 
clear bright yellow and most elegant form. The 
tone of the yellow is very unusual, it is so even 
and so soft, and the form of the long slender 
flower is equally interesting. The flower is all of 
charming yellow, there is no other color any¬ 
where. The petals reflex slightly and the charm 
of the slender bloom is marked. A fine tulip to 
use with Mertensias or with Scilla campanulata 
var. Excelsior. $.80 for 10; $5.50 per 100. 
CAPTAIN FRYATT: A most attractive tulip of 
dark ruby-violet with a violet-blue center. Petals 
reflexed. The only tulip of this color. Height, 
24 inches. $2.75 for 10; $25 per 100. 
ELEGANS ALBA: A delightful creamy white 
tulip with narrow carmine margin that does not 
spread as the flower ages. A bed of this is very 
pretty edged with the old-fashioned green-and- 
white-striped funkias. See illustration. $1.50 for 
10; $12.50 per 100. 
LEONORE: A very lovely variety of bright yel¬ 
low with reflexed petals. A great improvement 
over the well known "Retroflexa." Height, 26 
inches. $1.65 for 10; $14 per 100. 
MARCELLINE: A very graceful novelty. Its color 
is a glorious rosy red with a pure white center. 
Petals reflex. The best lily-flowering tulip in this 
color, an improved "Sirene." $1.50 for 10; $12.50 
per 100. 
MIGNON: A lovely tulip of brilliant orange with 
reflexed petals. The best lily-flowering tulip in 
this color. $4.50 for 10; $42.50 per 100. 
PINK DELIGHT: A very unusual tulip. Petals are 
reflexed. The color is best described as being 
of a white ground with soft rose markings. The 
only lily-flowering tulip in this color. $1.65 for 
10; $14 per 100. ' 
RETROFLEXA SUPERBA: Effective on account 
of its severe and simple beauty. The form is par¬ 
ticularly impressive; the corolla in its lower part 
fills out roundly and delicately like an urn; then 
is somewhat contracted upward and again 
curved outward at the point of the three outer 
and narrower sepals. The stem has that slight 
amount of curvation which redeems it from the 
appearance of formality. A fresh honey-yellow, 
extremely beautiful. Sweetly scented. $.95 for 
10; $7 per 100.
