HYPERION. This lovely variety was Mr. 
Elliott’s personal choice for the back¬ 
ground of his own Triumph Tulip gar¬ 
den. The color is an indescribably 
lovely dark red modified by a blending 
of violet. 90c per doz.; $6.50 per 100. 
LICE E. After tasting the bitterness of defeat it is pleasant to record a tri¬ 
umph. The new Alice E. is the world’s premier giant salmon-pink 
Tulip as Mr. Elliott discovered when he inspected it in the gardens of a great 
Dutch plant breeder. The Englishman who controlled Mer de Glace also 
wanted Alice E. but Mr. Elliott grabbed it almost from under his nose. When 
the Englishman’s anger had cooled sufficiently he inquired about a compromise 
and we agreed to give him 30 per cent of Alice E. in exchange for an equal 
quantity of Mer de Glace. The new Alice E. is the largest, the most perfect 
and altogether the loveliest salmon-pink Tulip in the world. No other bulb 
house in America can supply it at any price. $1.15 per doz.; $8.50 per 100.

These new Triumph Tulips are true Giant Flowering 
Tulips of incomparable splendor. The flowers of the 
better varieties are even larger than the gorgeous Late 
Giant Flowering Tulips which everybody knows and 
plants, and they are borne on flower stems at least as tall 
and even more sturdy. Among the flowers of the Triumph 
Tulips is a complete color range—a color for every taste 
and purpose. They bloom after the passing of the Early 
ELNURCO Is the brilliant new “Elliott’s Giant” really the world’s finest red 
Tulip? Certainly the flowers of the marvelous new giant Elnurco 
are as large; certainly the blooms are as perfectly formed and the stems are 
as tall and sturdy. While we control both Elliott’s Giant and Elnurco, to only 
one could be given the Elliott name. The decision was close. Our directors 
divided three for Elliott’s Giant and three for Elnurco. The final decision was 
Mr. Elliott’s and he voted for Elliott’s Giant, the lighter red. If you agree 
with our three directors that crimson-red is to be preferred to carmine-red, 
then Elnurco is beyond question the largest, the finest, the most perfect and 
altogether the loveliest red Tulip in the world. It is our exclusive Tulip and 
cannot be bought any place else in the world. $1.00 per doz.; $7.25 per 100. 
MERde GLACE In trying to secure for his customers the finest Tulips in the 
world, Mr. Elliott can record many brilliant triumphs. He is 
always competing with the great English houses and the representatives of 
these houses, the world’s best bulbmen, are keen business men who know a 
good thing when they see it. Besides they have the advantage of being less 
than three hours away by airplane from the bulb fields. Consequently, it is 
not surprising that along with his triumphs Mr. Elliott meets some defeats and 
makes some disappointing compromises. “Tipped off” about Mer de Glace, 
a new white Giant Triumph Tulip, Mr. Elliott hastened to inspect it and if 
it measured up to its report to monopolize it. It did measure up. Unquestion¬ 
ably, the new Mer de Glace is the largest and finest white Tulip in existence. 
Then he learned to his intense disgust that an Englishman “beat him to it.” 
Since “half a loaf is better than none” Mr. Elliott arranged a compromise with 
the Englishman so that some few of the new Mer de Glace, the world’s finest, 
most perfect white Tulip, may be seen in American gardens. No other Amer¬ 
ican bulb house can supply it at any price. $1.75 per doz.; $12.00 per 100.
