The WAYSIDE GARDENS CO. 
6k inese Qan tern C/ulips 
(Fairy Tulips) 
Especially well suited for southern gardens. 
Imagine a handful of Tulips having the delicate pure pastel 
shades of our finest Sweet Peas and you have but a fair descrip¬ 
tion of their colors. The general effect, however, is that of 
lighted, delicately colored Chinese Lanterns. The perfectly formed 
globular blossoms glow with an iridescent light not heretofore seen 
in Tulips. The colors are too exquisite to accurately describe. 
They have been admired by visiting growers from all over Europe. 
The introduction of these lovely hybrids has been given to 
Wayside Gardens. The colors are all in those elusive tints of 
salmon, orange, and salmon-pink of the most delicate pastel 
shades yet brilliant and vibrant with life. They are late flower¬ 
ing, blooming after most of the Darwins are out of bloom.

MENTOR, OfclO 
lowering ulips 
The Tulips offered under this heading have been kept by 
themselves because of their distinct Lily-like flowers. They 
really belong with the Cottage Tulips but would be lost or 
difficult to find if offered in that already quite large group. 
Lily-Flowered Tulips bloom the same time as the Cottage 
Tulips and are best used where a light, airy and graceful effect 
is desired. The delicately curved petals give a delightful effect. 
As a flower for cutting, it surpasses the regular Tulip because 
they are so much more graceful. Don't miss planting a few 
this year. The most complete list in existence is offered here.

are very thick and it has better lasting qualities than any 
other. Height 24 inches. 
(Chameleon CFulips 
Here we have a collection of new Tulips which in form and 
shape resemble the Darwin Tulips; the coloring, however, re¬ 
minds one of the Cottage Tulip Picotee. 
When Chameleon Tulips first come into bloom they show only 
faint tracings or delicate margins of pink on the edges of the 
flower petals, with the development and consequent aging of 
the bloom these markings enlarge and gradually spread over the 
entire flower. The blossoms never look the same from day to 
day and it is truly fascinating to watch this change of color 
taking place. 
Amie Newell $ 1.55 per 12; $11.00 per 100 
Opening white with a beautiful bright wine-red border, later 
suffusing the entire flower to a clear wine-red. A flower of 
perfect Darwin Tulip form. Height 22 inches. 
Baby Love $1.55 per 12; $11.00 per 100

broad. Does not change color till in full bloom. Has good 
lasting qualities. Height 22 inches. 
Eddy Eden $1.55 per 12; $11.00 per 100 
One of the finest in this class. Large, strong flower, opening 
deep rose, then turning to deep pink when in full bloom. 
Very tall, strong stem. Height 27 inches. 
Fanny Fisk $ 1.55 per 12; $11.00 per 100

differs from the other in coloring; sometimes some of them

tive varieties in our Chameleon collection. Height 25 inches. 
Peasant Maid $ 1.55 per 12; $11.00 per 100 
Opening white and rose, becoming a lovely rosy red when in

carried on a strong stem. Height 23 inches.

Wayside's Wonder $1.85 per 12; $12.50 per 100 
Opening pure white with a delicate deep red picotee edge. 
This narrow band of color spreads and becomes more beauti¬ 
ful as the flower ages, softening in tone until the entire 
flower has turned to rose-pink. Then as well as at opening 
it is a delightfully lovely Tulip. Height 24 inches. 
©Chameleon Tulips in Mixture of the Above Varieties as well as 
many others not yet offered. $1.15 per 12 ; $8.50 per 100 
Carrot CFulips 
The artistic form and coloring make them especially suitable 
for cut flower purposes. In the garden, if planted in borders or 
groups, they are not always satisfactory as they lack the vigor¬ 
ous, straight stems of the other Tulips with the exception of the 
new varieties which have straight and tall stems as the Darwin 
Tulips. They are extremely effective planted in long drifts in 
front of evergreens. 
Blue Parrot $5.00 each 
A glorious Parrot Tulip of bright violet shaded steel blue. 
The unusual flower is large and carried erect on a strong 
30-inch stem. A rore novelty.

flower carried on 27-inch stem. 
©Eleanora $4.75 per 12; $34.50 per 100

large flower with heavy petals. Free flowering, strong and 
stiff stem; very fine. 
©Fantasy $1.10 per 12; $8.00 per 100 
The loveliest Tulip grown. The color is the same as the Dar¬ 
win Clara Butt, with the same habits as to height, strength 
of stem, and time of flowering. The flowers are quaint and 
of beautiful form, the petals being laciniated, having curious 
excrescences on the outside. (Color illustration, page D).

Violet and mauve, with purple shadings, center white. Violet 
form of Parrot Tulip, Sensation. A very lovely variety, the

Tulip, much loved as a cut flower.

lighter towards the edges.

size, colored a delicate and beautiful pearly blue. The stem
