World's Fair 
It is fitting that the coming magnificence of California's World's 
Fair be represented in many gardens by a spectacular and beauti¬ 
ful new tulip which bears the name "World's Fair." Planted this 
fall, nature's "World's Fair" will blossom next spring at the very 
time when the man-made World's Fair is open in all its glory. 
"World's Fair" is a tulip that is practically unaffected by adverse 
weather. The foliage and stem are exceptionally sturdy, the cup 
bold and expressive of a consciousness of its beauty. The base, or 
lower one-third of the petals, is sparkling pure white; the upper 
two-thirds luminous rose pink of a particularly satisfying hue. 
Gorgeous rose pink may be found inside, flowing from a center of 
purest white, starred with primrose anthers. Truly a very fascinat¬ 
ing introduction, and a tested performed which will bring much 
joy to its possessor.
