Sfeiv Slant SBreeder Sulips 
First Introduction of This Remarkable Strain Into America. 
These new giants all have magnificently colored flow¬ 
ers of a quality and substance heretofore not found in 
Tulips. The size of flower cannot be compared with other 
Tulips. Stems are strong and erect, flower petals sub¬ 
stantial, prolonging the period of flowering by often more 
than a week. Lack of space prohibits adequate descrip¬ 
tion; let that, however, not deter you from planting a few 
of these remarkable new Tulips. The richness of tone 
as well as sheer stately dignity will eventually open all 
garden gates for them.
