Single Early Tulips, Continued. 
CARMINE-ROSE SHADES, Continued 
^Proserpine. (1). Though one of the oldest varieties, it retains its hold on the 
Tulip-loving public because of its utter dependability. A silky, carmine- 
rose, of large size, hajidsome globe shape and pleasing fragrance, it is a 
fine indoor as well as a splendid bedding variety. Height, 14 inches. 80 
cts. per dozen, $5.50 per 100. 
SCARLET SHADES 
We advise to force all scarlet varieties slowly at the start, otherwise they are 
apt to be green-tipped. 
*Vermilion Brillant. (2). Brilliant vermilion, with yellow base. Among the 
most brilliant of red Tulips. Is a very good early forcer and a splendid bedder 
besides. Height, 13 inches. 80 cts. per dozen, $5.50 per 100. 
^Brilliant Star. (1). Vermilion-scarlet with a bluish black star at base, when 
forced very early, often a yellow base. Height, 12 inches. 90 cts. per 
dozen, $6 per 100. 
*Couleur Cardinal. (4). Brilliant crimson-scarlet. An unusually substantial 
flower, with a tall strong stem. Fine bedder and late forcer. Height, 
13 inches. 80 ct$. per dozen, $5.50 per 100. 
*Duc Van Thoi Scarlet. (1). The earliest to bloom and especially useful for 
rock gardens, dwarf. Height, 8 inches. 80 cts. per dozen, $5.50 per 100. 
ORANGE SHADES 
*De Wet. (3). Named after the famous Boer leader, this Tulip may be likened 
to him because as yet the rest of the tribe have not caught up with it, and 
it will probably not be superseded for some time to come. It is one of the 
outstanding varieties for bedding and forcing. A golden yellow, flushed and 
stippled deep orange softened by a golden sheen. The flowers are large and 
delicately scented. Height, 16 inches. $1 per dozen, $7 per 100. 
Hobbema (Le Reve). (4). Old rose, flushed buff. An extremely handsome 
globe-shaped flower of unusual substance and very attractive color. Bloom¬ 
ing late and “bridging the gap” between the early and May-flowering sorts. 
Height, 13 inches. 80 cts. per dozen, $5.50 per 100. 
*Prince of Austria. (3). Large sweet-scented flower on a tall, strong stem. 
Blooming over a long period. Color—a rich orange-scarlet. One of the 
easiest to force and a fine bedding variety as well. Height, 16 inches. 
80 cts. per dozen, $5.50 per 100. 
*Fred Moore. (2). Soft, rosy terra cotta with edge of petals shaded orange- 
yellow, base of cup marked olive-green. Flowers of medium size but sweet 
scented. Height, 15 inches. 80 cts. per dozen, $5.50 per 100. 
YELLOW 
^Rising Sun. (2). Deep golden yellow. It is a real giant on a tall and strong 
stem which excels all yellow Tulips for bedding or forcing. Height, 16 
inches. 95 cts. per dozen, $6.50 per 100. 
*Gold-Finch. (2). Deep yellow; sweet-scented; a sport of Yellow Prince, 
without the brownish red streaks, retaining the color until the petals drop. 
Height, 13 inches. 80 cts. per dozen, $5.50 per 100. 
*Mon Tresor. (1). Intense golden yellow of large size. One of the earliest and 
easiest forcers. Height, 12 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100.
