The modern Giant Flowering Tulip is the result of three sep- 
arate experiments in plant breeding and of the inter-breeding of 
the products of these experiments. The final result is a race of 
Tulips so beautiful and with a color range so varied as to be be- 
yond even the imagination of the previous generation of gar- 
deners. 
The first experiment produced the DARWIN TULIPS, in' 
eluding the sO'Called Ideal Darwins. The resulting colors were 
gorgeous reds, magnificent lovely pinks together with inferior 
purples and dirty whites. Obviously the group was neither corn' 
plete nor satisfactory. 
The second experiment called BREEDER TULIPS resulted in 
color variations of yellow and blue tones. Again the plant breed- 
ers failed to get either the pure primary colors blue and yellow 
or white. The pure primary red existed only in the DARWINS. 
LLEN BU RG ^ magnificent new Tulip incomparable in the glory of its 
coloring. The flowers, which are exceedingly large, are 
colored a marvelous salmon-orange. Lovliest of the newer Tulips with no pos¬ 
sible rival to challenge its magnificence. $1.15 per doz.; $8.50 per 100. 
CA^VlELLI A A g° r g eous new Tulip which definitely puts that famous old 
favorite Princess Elizabeth into the “10c Store” class. The 
lovely satiny rose-pink color of Camellia is even finer than Princess Elizabeth, 
the flowers are much larger, of far better substance and Camellia has a far more 
graceful shape. The stems are far more sturdy than those of the rather weak 
Princess Elizabeth. $1.10 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 
CITY of HAARLEM Flowers .of immense size colored 
deep shiny scarlet with a violet- 
blue base crowning 31 inch stems. Absolutely the finest deep 
scarlet Giant Flowering Tulip. $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
ADVANCE. For 50 years Farncombe 
Sanders ruled the Tulip world as the 
finest scarlet Tulip in existence. But 
no reign can last forever and now 
comes Advance to throw Sanders 
from its high place. Advance is 
superior to Sanders in every respect. 
The flowers are so much larger that 
they make Sanders seem puny by 
comparison. And the stem is taller, 
30 inches as against 22 and in addi¬ 
tion it has no tendency towards 
weakness. The color is even more 
intense and vivid; a fiery scarlet that 
literally burns holes in the landscape. 
Incomparably the finest giant flow¬ 
ered scarlet tulip in existence. 3 for 
55c; $1.75 per doz.; $12.00 per 100.
