PEERLESS TULIP BLEND 
If you want an almost unsurpassable showing of brilliant 
Tulip colorings, carried on long stems, kinds, too, that are 
long in flower, then this blend should meet your require¬ 
ments. It is a mixture of finer named kinds of the Darwin 
and related classes made up to carry the full range of Tulip 
hues. To be ia proper proportion and balance, the Peer¬ 
less Blend is mixed to formula, chiefly from named sorts, 
grown separately. There will be the softer color tones, 
cream primrose and golden yellow, to bronze, orange and 
coffee brown; from palest flesh, through salmon pink, to 
strawberry, rose, scarlet and maroon; with lavender, clear 
blue, smoky violet and rich purple varieties, together with 
others fantastically marbled and striped. No more gor¬ 
geous mixture than this. Those of our customer friends 
who saw the display of Peerless Tulips as they grew and 
flowered at our Old Orchard Seed Gardens last spring, will 
indorse all that we have said of the beauty and variety of 
this blend. 8 for 25c; 17 for 50c; 36 for $1.00; 100 for 
$2.85. 
LEUCOCORYNE, Glory of the Sun 
LEUCOCORYNE IXIOIDES ODORATA —The lovely 
Glory of the Sun, a rare treasure from the hills of Chile, and 
often considered the most charming of all bulb flowers for 
the winter window. The 18 inch stems carry each several 
very large and starry soft blue flowers, with undulate petals 
and white centers. The blossoms are intensely fragrant and 
particularly long-lasting. For winter pot culture only. At 
its best it is wonderfully good, but it is only fair to men¬ 
tion that at times the bulbs fail to flower the first year. 
Fortunately this delay in blooming is rare, and it is a 
delay only, for such bulbs almost invariably flower the 
second year. Each 35c; 3 for $1.00.
