Establish Tulips Permanently 
Among Annuals or Shrubbery 
You know and love tulips as a class — but do you fully appreciate 
the possibilities offered you in the Darwin and May-flowering 
types? They can be left permanently just where you wish them to 
grow—in shrubbery borders or flower beds — and will increase in 
number for many years. They bloom after the early bulbs—thus 
providing you with lovely flowers from early to late. ' In form and 
coloring, they leave nothing to be desired. 
You need some of them; we can supply you to the best advan¬ 
tage, because our connections 
with reliable growers abroad 
are unexcelled. Boddington’s 
Quality Bulbs are planted on 
many famous estates. We of¬ 
fer splendid collections, includ¬ 
ing some of the choicest of 
the Darwin type. We cannot 
list all of them here, but you 
may be fully assured of their 
high quality.

different appearance. A most unique and 
charming flower, standing well when cut.

The Big Travel Book 
of the Year 
Dr. Louis Qaston Leary’s 
H REAL PALESTINE OF TO-DAY 
Those who have followed Dr. Leary’s articles in 
recent issues of Travel need no assurance as to the 
real gripping interest with which he clothes the people, 
the^customs, and the landmarks of this tiny land that 
is “Holy” to Jew and Christian and Moslem. Ilis 
residence for a time in Beirut gave opportunity for 
an unusually thorough study of the people themselves 
— their mode of life, their customs and prejudices, and 
this side of the subject is one that always will have 
tile widest appeal. Dr. Leary’s intimate knowledge 
of the country’s legends—those that are well substan¬ 
tiated and those that are merely amusing — helps to 
make the book as entertaining as the best fiction. 
The book is of a convenient size — sJ4 x 7 % inches. 
Bound in dark blue linen boards with a charming 
cover design by George Hood. There are 64 pages of 
illustrations, besides maps of the whole country and 
important sections of it at larger scale. Price, $1 
net, postage 8 cents.
