MENTOR, OHIO 
(2/iln ese Can fern ,/u Zips 
(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.

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.

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 $1.10 per 12; $8.00 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 $1.10 per 12; $8.00 per 100 
White, delicate bright red border on each petal, not too 
broad. Does not change color till in full bloom. Has good 
lasting qualities. Height 22 inches. 
Eddy Eden $1.10 per 12; $8.00 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 $1.10 per 12; $8.00 per 100 
White with light red border on each petal. One flower often 
differs from the other in coloring; sometimes some of them 
will turn red. This has always been one of the most attrac¬ 
tive varieties in our Chameleon collection. Height 25 inches. 
Peasant Maid $1.10 per 12; $8.00 per 100 
Opening white and rose, becoming a lovely rosy red when in 
full bloom. This variety has been greatly commended by all 
who have seen it. Large flower of good substance, which is 
carried on a strong stem. Height 23 inches. 
Pink Wonder $1.10 per 12; $8.00 per 100 
This is a combination of white and rosy red markings on 
the border, later suffusing the flower partly. A very de¬ 
lightful new variety. We recommend it fully. Height 23 in. 
Wayside's Wonder $1.30 per 12; $9.50 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. $0.80 per 12; $6.00 per 100 
^Parrot ,JuZips 
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 $4.50 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 rare novelty. 
Capriccio $3.75 per 12; $27.50 per 100 
Salmon-pink feathered and flamed white. A truly fascinating 
flower carried on 27-inch stem. 
*Eleanora $3.75 per 12; $27.50 per 100 
A purplish violet Parrot Tulip of great substance, extremely 
large flower with heavy petals. Free flowering, strong and 
stiff stem; very fine. 
^Fantasy $0.75 per 12; $5.75 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). 
*Gadelan $2.00 each 
Violet and mauve, with purple shadings, center white. Violet 
form of Parrot Tulip, Sensation. A very lovely variety, the 
sensation at every flower show. Height 22 inches.

White flushed apple-blossom-pink. A very good new Parrot 
Tulip, much loved as a cut flower. 
Lady Derby $2.15 per 12; $14.25 per 100 
Very similar to Fantasy but lilac in color. The petals become 
lighter towards the edges. 
Opal Queen $2.75 each 
Here we come close to perfection. A flower of remarkable 
size, colored a delicate and beautiful pearly blue. The stem 
is 27 inches tall and carries the flower very gracefully. A 
rare novelty. 
*Mixed Parrot Tulips $0.55 per 12; $3.50 per 100 
This mixture is made from the old-fashioned varieties which 
we do not recommend.
