ticularly when planted in a shady location.

apricot near the edges of the petals. Height 
26 inches. $1.20 for 10; $11.00 per 100 
ORANGE KING. Beautiful deep orange, 
shaded rose, inside deep orange-scarlet;

PICOTEE (Maiden’s Blush). White, mar¬ 
gined deep rose, the color suffusing the 
whole flower as it ages; medium-sized 
flower, reflexing. Grand for the border. A 
large bed planted to this variety is a sight 
that will not easily be forgotten. Height 
20 inches. 60 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100 
QUEEN OF SPAIN. The Tulip fancier in 
search of new and lovely shades of Tulips

way. The general color of the flower is a 
delightful cream with a subtle flushing of 
peach-pink. Very lovely and distinct. 
Fine, large, cup-shaped flower. Height 
28 inches. $3.00 for 10; $28.00 per 100 
REFULGENCE. Outstanding in color, huge

flowering Tulips among the new orange- 
scarlet hybrid varieties. Height 25 inches. 
$3.50 for 10; $32.00 per 100 
ROSABELLA. This beautiful variety—one 
of the finest introductions in Cottage Tulips 
of recent years—is, perhaps, best described 
as a beautiful shade of salmon-rose. One of 
the finest of the new Hybrid Tulips which 
can now be purchased at a much lower 
price. When planted in the hardy border, 
especially when the lovely early-blooming 
Anchusa myosotidiflora is used as a ground- 
cover, the lovely color of this variety cre¬ 
ates a very charming effect. Height 24 
inches. 80 cts. for 10; $7.00 per 100 
SIRENE. This beautiful lily-flowering Tulip 
is a lovely variety not only on account of 
its color, but because of the exquisite urn¬ 
like shape of the flower. A rich cerise-pink, 
white base. Height 26 inches. 
70 cts. for 10; $6.00 per 100 
VESTA. This new hybrid is one of the finest 
white varieties in this class. It opens creamy 
white, but quickly changes to pure white. 
70 cts. for 10; $6.00 per 100 
WHITE DUCHESS. Another gem among 
the hybrids. ke Alaska, Captain Fryatt, 
Fascinating, and Sirene, this Tulip is popu¬ 
larly termed Lily-flowering. This class of 
Tulip was the result of crossing the dainty 
pointed-petaled Tulip Retroflexa with a 
Darwin Tulip. In White Duchess we have 
a pure snow-white variety of unusual size, 
borne on a fine strong stem. Height 
28 inches. $1.10 for 10; $10.00 per 100 
SUPERB MIXTURE. A select assort¬ 
ment, covering almost every conceivable 
color and shade. Those who have not 
grown these Tulips, and desire a mix¬ 
ture for trial purposes, can depend on 
getting every color that obtains in this 
beautiful class of Tulips. 
50 cts. for 10; $4.50 per 100; 
$42.00 per 1000 
Single Early Tulips 
FOR APRIL BLOOMING OUT¬ 
DOORS, POTS, AND FORCING 
Few, if any, of the spring-blooming flowers rival the Single Early 
Tulips for brilliancy of bloom or ease of culture. They are excellent 
subjects for formal beds on the lawn or for garden borders. Wnile 
they do not possess the same size of bloom and length of stem as the 
May-flowering Darwin, Breeder and Cottage varieties, they are 
frequently used where early blooms are desired. Many of the varieties 
may be forced in bloom in January, while all of them may be easily 
had in flower in pots late in February or early March. 
Note. —The letters A, B, and C following the varieties indicate 
their relative earliness of bloom, but, with few exceptions, most of the 
varieties bloom outdoors about the same time when planted in masses. 
The figures indicate the height in inches. 
The following list contains the best novelties extant, as well as a 
complete list of the best standard varieties. We have discarded quite 
a number of varieties which no longer grow well. 
BRILLIANT STAR. A 12. Bright vermil¬ 
ion-scarlet, same color as Vermilion Bril¬ 
liant, but larger and of great substance.

Christmas. 60 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100 
COULEUR CARDINAL. C 12. Bright 
crimson-scarlet, with a deeper tone of 
bloom on the outer petals. A bed planted 
wholly to this variety is a grand sight. Fine 
for midseason forcing.

DE WET. B 16. Golden yellow, flushed deep 
orange; large, sweet-scented flower of erect 
habit. Quite different in color from any 
other variety. A glorious flame-color Tulip 
for any position in the garden and an 
equally beautiful variety when grown 
indoors. 70 cts. for 10; $6.00 per 100 
DIADEM. A 16. A very beautiful new 
variety when forced early, being an even 
tone of pearly pink. Excellent for pots or

FLAMINGO. B 12. Carmine-rose, shaded 
lighter. The petals are striped white and 
very crinkled, giving the flower a decidedly 
artistic appearance. A very popular variety 
among florists for forcing on account of its 
odd color and habit. 
60 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100 
FORTUNA. A 14. Perhaps best described 
as a satiny lilac-rose—a very beautiful 
color without the slightest trace of ma¬

KING OF THE YELLOWS. A 14. Deep 
golden yellow, egg-shaped, very substantial 
flowers carried on tall stems, which makes 
them excellent for cutting. One of the 
earliest yellows which should be much more

70 cts. for 10; $6.00 per 100 
PINK BEAUTY. C 12. Bright cherry-rose,

shows up very conspicuously against the 
broad, vivid rose edges. 
70 cts. for 10; $6.00 per 100 
PRINCE OF AUSTRIA. B 14. Brilliant 
orange-scarlet, with a clear yellow base.

variety as well. 60 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100 
PROSERPINE. A 14. Rosy carmine, with 
a white center marked slate-blue; very

The finest golden yellow Early Tulip intro¬ 
duced to date. 60 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100 
SARAH BERNHARDT (Le Reve; Hob¬ 
bema). Not a new Tulip, but one that 
always gladdens the heart of the gardener 
who enjoys planting irregular clumps of 
late April-blooming Tulips in the herba¬ 
ceous border. This grand Tulip blooms 
after the Early Tulips and about 10 days 
before the Darwins. The color is a glorious 
shade of pink, quite unlike any other Tulip, 
and very pleasing in its even tone and yet 
most interesting on account of its unique 
color. See color illustration on page 16.
