finely cut foliage sending up their graceful blooms

either sun or shade and make ideal cut flowers.

The flowers are at their best during the Tulip sea¬ 
son in May. Deep orange-yellow. 
EARLY PRINCE. Exactly like Early King except 
color which is bright lemon yellow.

the best Trollius in cultivation. The rich golden- 
yellow flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, are produced 
on 2 to 3 ft. stems with usually one or more side 
branches. The fully opened flower shows a triple 
row of petals with a mass of long golden stamens 
in the center. An outstanding flower for the peren¬ 
nial garden.
