May-Flowering Tulips 
Late-Flowering Tulips 
Late Tulips are but little known in this country, 
yet they are extremely beautiful and striking, and 
come into bloom in May, after all other Tulips arc 
over. Many are the original wild varieties, and, 
if planted where they can remain permanently, will 
bloom year after year. Our experience has been 
that permanent plantations of Tulips should not 
be watered after flowering. They seem to do much 
better if allowed to take their chances with the 
weather, and we know of a lot of single early Tulips 
planted in a bed in a farm field where they have 
never been watered or cultivated in any way, not 
even the weeds and grass removed, yet they thrive 
and bloom splendidly year after year. We wish to 
call special attention to the Gesneriana Tulip. 
Without exception, it is the most effective Tulip 
that can be planted outdoors. A bed of it will 
always attract the greatest admiration and en- 
thusiam.

tallest, largest flowers and 
showiest of all Tulips for 
bedding out in masses. It 
deserves to be largely 
grown. Height 18 to 24 
inches. Flowers of enor¬ 
mous size, on long, grace¬ 
ful stems, and the most 
durable of all Tulips, as it 
holds its beautiful color 
and keeps perfect for a 
long time, flowering in 
May. Color rich crimson- 
scarlet, with glittering 
blue-black center. Our 
bulbs are guaranteed the 
true scarlet variety and 
not the inferior purplish 
kind that is not worth

The Bizarres, Bybloems, Roses and Violettes are the Tulips of the 
famous Tulip mania of Europe, when Tulips sold as high as $1,000 
eaeh, and entire communities were involved in the speculation. They 
are very interesting and beautiful. 
May-Flowering, or Cottage Tulips 
These, also known as “Old English Garden Tulips,” are a most 
interesting class, with wonderfully showy and beautiful flowers. 
Blooming very late, they extend the spring-flowering bulb season 
well into May. They are all tall growing, averaging about 24 inches 
in hci 8 ht . Per doz.
