HARDY BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 
ENGLISH IRIS (Bulbous) 
UNEXCELLED NEW TRIUMPH TULIPS 
This is the latest Iris to bloom (except the Japanese Iris). Very 
large, handsome flowers. It is not a forcing variety, but one of the 
finest cut-flower Iris known. A handsome, hardy garden variety 
(but needs winter mulching like the Dutch and Spanish). It should 
be grown by every florist as the handsome cut flowers always com¬ 
mand a good price. See colored plate on outside back cover. 
BLUE CELESTE (or Sky Blue). Largest of all; light lavender blue. 
ELECTRA (Sunset). Like a Cattleya orchid, delicate lavender-pink. 
OTHELLO. Rich wine red. See the color plate.

DARWIN TULIPS 
Northwest Tulip bulbs are of the highest quality and much sought 
after by all gardeners and dealers; they are much superior to Hol¬ 
land stock; it’s our climate and soil! 
Names of Darwin Tulips are legion; the seven we are listing are 
the most outstanding and best for garden culture. Plant about 6 
inches deep and same distance apart. Let no manure come into 
contact with the bulbs, and take up and divide every 2 or 3 years 
to avoid “tulip fire”. 
BARTIGON. A rich fiery red flower with a contrasting pure white 
base. Blooms early; 24 inches. 
CLARA BUTT. Clear bright pink blooms tinted with salmon-rose 
and marked blue at the base. Large, well formed flowers. Makes 
a wonderful display in the garden and is suited for forcing; 21 
inches. 
FARNCOMBE SANDERS. Fiery rose-scarlet on the outside and 
vivid scarlet-red with a blue and white base on the inside. It 
combines well with many other colors offered on this page and is 
truly magnificent when planted in masses by itself; 32 inches. 
MADAME KRELAGE. Bright lilac-rose, shading to silvery rose on 
the edges of the petals. The inside of the flower is deep rose- 
pink; 30 inches. 
PRIDE OF HAARLEM. Rich rosy carmine with a blue base; very 
distinct. Large, well formed, sweet scented flower; height 30 
inches. 
REV. EWBANK. A lovely lavender flower shaded rich violet and 
dove-gray. The inside is a richer tone. This is a most unusual 
color, and never fails to attract attention wherever grown; 28 
inches. 
INGLESCOMBE YELLOW. A golden yellow Tulip of great beauty 
and wonderful size. Of tall, strong growth and highly recom¬ 
mended; 29 inches.

paid. Per 100 (50 in proportion) of one variety, by express, charges 
collect (low second class rates) $4.50 per 100; $40 per 1000. 
An Early Single Tulip, First to Bloom 
TULIP KEIZER KROON. They who like not common things may 
pass by this note; Keizer Kroon Tulip has been familiar from 
childhood—it is one of the oldest, as it is, assuredly, one of the 
best of early Dutch varieties. The huge flower is bright red, 
nearly scarlet, edged with yellow; it is self-confident, the margin 
is broad and clearly defined, the flower is seen and recognized 
from afar. Yet there is something refined about the blossom, and 
it pleases me because I can imagine the surprise and joy of some 
old Dutch grower when his great variety first opened to the sun¬ 
shine; it remains a distinctive flower, a great bedding Tulip, and 
one quite good for forcing. It is a strong, healthy grower, and a 
bed of it will bring into the early spring garden some of the color 
and joy for which we have longed for so many months; today 
there are several fine early Dutchmen in flower, but somehow 
they look rather dowdy as compared with the flaming Keizer 
Kroon. There is, after all, some pleasure to be extracted from 
possessing an appreciation of an old, well-known, and first-class 
flower. Prices prepaid by mail, as follows: For 3 (no less sold) 
30c; for 12, 90c; per 100 by express, charges collect, $6.00. 
Bloom a week or ten days before the Darwins. The most beautiful, 
strongest, the most perfect Tulips in the World. 
Pure, strong, lovely colors. 
IN A MIXTURE (not in separate colors this year) of carmine, yel¬ 
low, orange, heliotrope, light rose and dark rose and white, $1.00 
per doz.; 6 for 60c. Per 100, postpaid, $7.50. By express charges 
collect, $6.00 per 100. By all means try some of these fine new 
Tulips; they are very beautiful. Bloom around May 1st. On the 
Pacific Coast last two weeks of April.
