ROSABELLA. There is hardly a tulip anywhere to 
match this flower for a certain soft charm. Its color may 
be described as a delicious pink, warm, delicate and sweet,

tender pink with a blush of deeper color suffusing each 
petal, and smart black anthers. Makes an engaging offset 
with Phlox divaricata and a pale yellow intermediate iris.

forget-me-not will give unending joy to the eye. Height, 
32 inches. $2.35 for 10; $21 per 100.

Darwins with its large cup, almost square, poised on tall, 
erect stems. Its color is a rich old rose shading to a lighter 
hue, a cameo-pink, along the edges. Whether growing in

elicit admiration. Height, 30 inches. $1.75 for 10; $15

AFTERGLOW (Katherine Havemeyer). The beautiful 
color of this fine tulip is a striking association of rose and 
orange with salmon lights; it might be called a soft apricot- 
orange tinged with pink, with a light-orange edge. This 
superb variety will make a gorgeous effect if planted in 
masses with a ground cover of myosotis, or rising out of 
a mass of Cheiranthus allionii. Height, 30 inches. $.85 
for 10; $6 per 100.
