ZWANENBURG. Yes, there is a 
finer white Tulip than Zwanenburg 
but it is more costly. In the mean¬ 
time the flowers of Zwanenburg are 
nearly as large as the largest and the

TENNESSEE. A new Giant Flower¬ 
ing Tulip of stunning color and 
striking beauty. The color is a 
vivid, bright carmine-rose. It is

to be true pink. The color 
is very clean and stable and 
shows no tendency to de¬ 
velop magenta in the sun.

SEVILLA. A tremendous cup-shaped 
flower proudly borne on a tall, fine 
stem and colored pure glistening

markings are not clumsy but on the 
contrary exquisite in their delicate 
and perfect proportions. $1.15 per 
doz.; $8.25 per 100. 
U/UITC fil ANT Years ago we raved about Painted Lady, thinking 
^ it the finest possible white Giant Flowering Tulip. 
Then Zwanenburg was created and Painted Lady disappeared from our gar¬ 
dens. Now comes White Giant, so much finer than Zwanenburg that we pre¬ 
dict that in another ten years Zwanenburg will have followed Painted Ladv 
into the limbo of forgotten things. White Giant is the perfect white Giant 
Flowering Tulip on stems 30 inches tall. 3 for 65c; $2.20 per doz.; $14.50 
per 100.
