William the Silent. $1.10 per 12; $8.00 per 100. 
What a marvel is this among the purple Breeder Tulips! Its 
widely opened cup of warm, reddish purple, its generally superb 
appearance, the fine texture of its petals make it an outstanding 
purple Tulip, and one deserving its illustrious name. The flower 
is carried on a strong tall stem. With its striking creamy base 
outlined with blue, and its purple-velvet anthers, it is a variety 
to adorn the stateliest garden. A beautiful combination may be 
had by planting Cottage Tulip Mayflower or a similar shade 
amongst, or in front of, William the Silent. Height 30 inches 
"-Choice Mixed Breeder Tulips. 60c per 12; $4.00 per 100. 
Mixed bulbs, as a rule, do not appeal to the planter because 
of the difficulty in the blending of colors. Breeder Tulips, 
however, are in a class by themselves, and their colors do 
permit easy blending. They are in shades of bronze, golden 
bronze, violet, buff, maroon and terra cotta. We suggest a 
liberal planting for cut flowers.

(Fairy Tulips) 
Especially well suited for southern gardens. 
Imagine a handful of Tulips having the delicate pure pastel shades 
of our finest Sweet Peas and you have but a fair description of their 
colors. The general effect, however, is that of lighted, delicately 
colored Chinese Lanterns. 
The perfectly formed globular blossoms glow with an iridescent 
light not heretofore seen in Tulips. The colors are too exquisite to 
accurately describe. They have been admired by visiting growers 
from all over Europe. 
The introduction of these lovely hybrids has been given to Way¬ 
side Gardens. The colors are all in those elusive tints of salmon, 
orange, and salmon-pink of the most delicate pastel shades yet bril¬ 
liant and vibrant with life. They are late flowering, blooming after 
most of the Darwins are out of bloom.

not because of being inferior or less attractive.

The Tulips offered under this heading have been kept by them¬ 
selves because of their distinct Lily-like flowers. They really belong 
with the Cottage Tulips but would be lost or difficult to find if 
offered in that already quite large group. 
Lily-Flowered Tulips bloom the same time as the Cottage Tulips 
and are best used where a light, airy and graceful effect is desired. 
The delicately curved petals give a delightful effect. As a flower for 
cutting, it surpasses the regular Tulip because they are so much more 
graceful. Don’t miss planting a few this year. The most complete 
list in existence is offered here.
