GIANT DARWIN TULIPS 
SINGLE EARLY 
TULIPS 
This type of Tulip is by far the most popular among the whole family for outdoor planting. The 
large flowers are carried by tall, strong stems and are of good lasting quality. A large variety of colors 
ranging from white through shades of rose and pink, brilliant scarlets, and crimsons, blue violets and 
purple to almost black are represented in this group. The varieties offered are selected from our Trial 
Grounds as the best to color and substance. Less desirable varieties have been eliminated.

TRIUMPH TULIPS 
A rather recent introduction 
which is the result of crossing 
Single Early Tulips with Darwin 
Tulips. They have the earliness 
of the former and the blooms of 
the latter. In our Trial Grounds 
they showed up well and we 
strongly recoin-

LILY-FLOWERING TULIPS 
PARROT TULIPS 
These are not satisfactory in the border as they lack 
the vigorous, straight stems of the other types. We 
are, however, listing Fantasy as it is the outstanding 
and much admired variety very often classed as “the 
loveliest Tulip grown.” 
FANTASY. The marvelous pink Parrot Tulip. A sport of Clara 
Butt with thc same base color, height, strong stem and time ol 
flowering. It has in addition, encrustations of apple-green on 
the backs of the petals which arc laciniated in the characteristic 
manner of thc Parrot Tulip. 80c per doz.; #5.60 per 100. 
These really belong with the Cottage Tulips but would be over¬ 
looked in that large group. Therefore, they are offered under this 
heading having a distinct lily-like flower. They are unsurpassed 
for cutting due to their gracefulness. 
FULGENS. Brilliant carmine-red. 70c per doz.; #5.00 per 100. 
RETROFLEXA. 25 inches Primrose with recurving petals; very 
decorative Tulip. 70c per doz.; #5.00 per 100. 
SIRENE. Glistening satiny rose with paler edges One of the 
lily-shaped varieties of exquisite beauty. Height 16 inches. 70c 
per doz.; #5.00 per 100.

BOTANICAL TULIPS 
Botanical Tulips show a large variation in size, height 
and blooming time. The only thing they have in com¬ 
mon is that they grow wild in some parts of the world. 
They are very useful in locations where the larger 
flowering varieties would be out of place. Kaufman- 
niana came in bloom with us March 19th. 
KAUFMANNIANA. White and vcllow, pink outside, called the 
VVatcrlily Tulip, as the expanded flowers resemble a Nymphaca. 
The earliest to flower of all Tulips, large (lowers. Height 8 
inches. #1.50 per doz.; #8.50 per 100. 
EICHLERI. Splendid, large crimson-scarlet flowers, yellow and 
black center, effective in the flower border or rock garden. Height 
12 inches. 70c per doz.; #5.00 per 100. 
MARJOLETO. Very pale yellow, exterior edge of petals rosy red. 
very charming in the rockery. Height 16 inches. 80c per doz.; 
#5.60 per 100.

SIBIRICA, Blue. The old-fash¬ 
ioned blue “Squill.” 40c per 
doz.; #2.50 per 100. 
HEAVENLY BLUE. While 
there are several kinds of 
Muscari we consider this 
variety the best for mass 
planting. Their flowers 
open just about the time 
that the Crocuses are go¬ 
ing. They do well in thc 
wild garden and also in 
grass not too rank. They 
are nice under trees and 
along borders where they 
may be left undisturbed.
