TULIPS 
KAUFMANNIANA: One of the most beautiful of 
all tulips. Large, creamy flower, brilliantly 
marked with carmine, yellow center, it opens flat 
and is carried on a stem usually less than a foot 
in height. Blooms in April and is delightful. The 
bulbs should be planted at least 6 inches deep. 
Plant large masses of these under trees or ever¬ 
greens. Splendid for naturalizing in shady 
places; self-sows freely. Try planting it loosely 
with muscari "Heavenly Blue." Height, 5 to 7 
inches. $1.15 for 10; $9 per 100. 
LINIFOLIA: This is an ideal tulip for "high 
lights" in the rock garden. Beautiful dainty 
species of a fiery scarlet, flowering about seven 
inches above the ground in early April. Ex¬ 
tremely attractive, also for clumps amongst dark 
green evergreens. $3.65 for 10; $34 per 100. 
PERSICA: A charming dwarf variety for narrow 
borders of the rock garden. Fragrant yellow 
flowers, bronze on the exterior, are borne in 
twos or threes on a slender, curving stem. 
Height, 3 inches. $2.85 for 10; $26 per 100. 
SAXATILIS: A very attractive flower of delicate 
lilac with yellow base. Height 9 inches, $4 for 
10; $37.50 per 100. 
SPRENGERI: This is the latest of all tulips to 
bloom; a splendid acquisition to the rock garden 
and very effective when planted in drifts along 
a background of evergreens. Beautiful and very 
showy. The flowers are large carried artistically 
on a stem eighteen inches high; fiery orange- 
scarlet suffused on the outside of the petals with 
a soft shading of buff and orange. The anthers 
are golden. $4 for 10; $37.50 per 100. 
VIRIDIFLORA PR2ECOX: Large, well formed, 
wide-open flower with pointed petals of a soft 
pale green edged with creamy yellow. A charm¬ 
ing variety of extraordinary coloring. Very nice 
to cut with yellow or pink tulips. Very scarce. 
Height, 20 inches. $2.05 for 10; $18 per 100. 
PARROT TULIPS 
Y OU will like to have some of these quaintly shaped flowers, particularly for house decoration or 
for clumps here and there in the border or where you have strong groups of evergreens. Their 
artistic form and coloring make them especially suitable for cutflower purposes or for long drifts 
against a deep green background. 
After careful study we have decided to confine ourselves to the following five varieties. All 
are very fine and will give you much satisfaction and pleasure. 
FANTASY: The magnificent pink parrot tulip. 
A sport of "Clara Butt," with the same habits in 
every way as to color, height, strength of stem, 
and time of flowering. The flowers are of quaint 
and beautiful form, the petals being laciniated, 
having curious excrescences on the outside. It 
is not only the strangely exciting form of this 
tulip or its main color, which is a delightful 
warm pink, that enthralls one; it is the inner 
color of it, a deep and velvety rose color which 
is more sumptuous than words can tell. The 
wonderful encrustation on back of petals is like 
an enameling of apple-green. And one of the 
virtues of this wonderful flower is its stiff straight 
stem. We are very glad to be in a position to 
offer this fine tulip at a moderate price, if pur¬ 
chased with other varieties. See illustration. 
$1.15 for 10; $9 per 100. 
GADELAN: A sensational novelty, resembling 
a Catleya orchid in color and shape. When fully 
developed it often measures six to seven inches 
across with a blending of blues and purples, 
edged white with emerald green markings. The 
inside of the flower is bright violet-purple with 
white center and contrasting black anthers. Fine 
sturdy stems. Height, 22 inches. Each, $2. 
LADY DERBY: This delightful tulip is a sport 
of the Darwin tulip "Circe." The petals are 
parma-violet with some pale pink and white 
edges, and blue-green marks. The small white 
center has a blue edge. Height, 28 inches. $2.05 
for 10; $18 per 100.
