RED EMPEROR 
A LURID flame shooting into a pitch-black sky; the brilliant 
flashing of a cardinal among the trees; the scarlet robes of a 
royal retinue—all these comparisons fail to convey the brilliancy 
of this wonderful Tulip, the largest and most spectacular of the 
entire Tulip family. 
There are some brilliant flowers among the species, but Red 
Emperor eclipses them all. 
Just imagine a single Tulip bloom 9 inches across! 
Our artist has painted a good picture of this glorious flower but 
printers’ ink can never reproduce the life and hypnotizing influence 
of its natural coloring. 
Flaunted aloft on 20-inch stems, these amazing flowers hold 
their form and color for a long, long time.

Triumph Tulips 
A new strain resulting from crosses of 
Single Early Tulips and the Darwins. The 
flowers are very much like the Darwins 
but the plants are sturdier and there are 
new Tulip colors among them. Their 
special importance, however, lies in the 
fact that they bloom in between the Single 
Earlies and the Cottages, filling that formerly bloomless gap, and remain in bloom longer than any 
other type. We are sure that you will be pleased with them.
