The Best Standard Varieties 
The colors include the brilliant scarlets and crimsons, and the more 
somber tones of red. The shades of rose and pink, of violet and 
purple, are unsurpassed for their delicacy or their richness of color. 
There are slate blue and blue-violets which might almost be called 
blue, while Dumas’ “Black Tulip” is very nearly realized in some of 
the dark maroon varieties. Bronze and buff tones must be looked 
for among the Breeders. The varieties offered are the best standard 
kinds; inferior sorts have been omitted. 
The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flow¬ 
ering.
