TULIPS 
border. Eclipse” is a glowing, dark blood-red flower with 
a lustrous surface and violet, white-margined center. So 
substantial is its quality that it lasts well through the tulip 
season. Makes an indescribably gay display with white 
camassias and associated with another tulip of a more 
brilliant hue. Height. 30 inches. $1.55 for 10; $13 
per 100. See illustration, page 24. 
EUNICE. A real exhibition tulip. Very large flowers, 
cup-shaped of deepest pink that are carried on strong, tall 
stems. Plant near lilac, “Katherine Havemeyer” with a 
foreground planting of Phlox divaricata, var. Laphami. 
Height, 34 inches. $1.65 for 10; $14 per 100. 
FAUST. A long, large and splendid flower of deep wine 
color, much lighter than the other Darwin, La Tulipe 
Noire,” but related to that in color. This is a flower of 
oval form, of fine spreading petal, and well held up on its 
tall stems; a magnificent thing for cutting or for rich effects 
among other tulips in the border. Height, 3 I inches. $.95 
for 10; $7.00 per 100. 
FLAMINGO. A genuine addition to the ranks of the 
pure-pink tulips, this exquisite, globular, pointed flower of 
serene color has received a warm welcome. It has a well- 
defined white base with a blue halo and the petals have 
a silvery sheen. Enchanting among camassias and silver- 
leaved nepeta, it is also very effective among bleeding 
hearts. Height, 28 inches. $.90 for 10; $6.50 per 100. 
GIANT. Immense, rounded flowers of heavy texture, the 
color of Burgundy wine, with violet shadowings and a 
white base, marked with blue. Indescribably rich above a 
carpet of golden-brown pansies. Height, 30 inches. $1.10 
for 10; $8.50 per 100. 
GLACIER. Undoubtedly one of the best of the white 
exhibition tulips. Huge flower of purest white, carried on 
a strong tall stem. A most beautiful picture can be 
created by planting this variety near Darwin tulip 
“Eclipse” with a ground cover of Phlox divaricata, var. 
Laphami. Height, 31 inches. $4.45 for 10; $42 per 100. 
INSURPASSABLE. Here is another hybrid of exception¬ 
al merit. A very large lilac flower, of fine form and great 
substance, held aloft on tall strong stem. Planted with 
Munstead primroses, or rising out of a mass of forget-me- 
nots and the double arabis, or standing in a clump by 
itself, this unusual variety will attract immediate attention 
and will make very beautiful groupings. A clump placed 
at the foot of a laburnum will be exceptionally pretty. 
Height, 28 inches. $1.95 for 10; $17 per 100. See illustra¬ 
tion, page 47. 
JUBILEE. Of deepest wine color and^deepest violet, this 
tulip, with its splendid carriage, good form and strong 
texture, has a place by itself among the purple Darwins. 
A very fine, gracefully carried tulip whose dusky coloring, 
used generously, has the value of shadow in the borders. 
The corinthian-purple coloring is toned down at the edges 
of the petals to daphne-red; the base is bright blue with 
greenish markings. Its telling hue is charming above for¬ 
get-me-nots, and if planted with a variety such as 
“Duchess of Hohenberg,” in drifts above these blue 
flowers, the effect should be wonderfully good. Height, 
31 inches. $1.15 for 10; $9.00 per 100. 
KING GEORGE V. A dazzling, cherry -rose tulip of 
great size and noble carriage; one of the finest intro¬ 
ductions and a most telling color in the garden. The cup 
is graciously modeled and deep and the Jacqueminot 
shadows at the base of the petals lend an exquisite soft¬ 
ness to the brilliant flower. The color holds well in sun¬ 
shine. Lovely with early mauve and white irises near 
Bechtel’s crabapple. An effective setting may also be 
had by planting a mass of this among myosotis or cheir- 
anthus allionii. Height, 30 inches. $1.15 for 10; $9 per 
100. See illustration, page 35. 
KING MAUVE. Graceful, cup-shaped blooms of pale 
lilac, blazed with bishop’s purple, the purple of the inner 
petals are edged with wistaria-blue which blends into a 
cream-white base. 1 he flowers hold their color and form 
and when opening in maturity, the velvety black anthers 
appear, giving accent and character. The blue of Scilla 
campanulata, var. Excelsior is of the same shade as the 
blue of the base and this variety would look well rising 
from a mass of blue, white and pink scilla with a back¬ 
ground of lilac. Miss Wilmott.” Height, 30 inches. $ 1.85 
for 10; $ 16 per 100. 
LADY HILLINGDON. A most outstanding and beauti¬ 
ful tulip. The flowers hold their shape well and are car¬ 
ried on firm erect stems. The prevailing color is a clear 
geranium-pink, marvelously suffused with rose-purple with 
the edge of the inner petals of bittersweet-orange, giving 
the effect of a glow from within. The base and anthers 
are a light cadmium-yellow. Combines well with aubrieta, 
var. “Dr. Mule,” the silvery foliage of Artemisia frigida 
and the darker toned Darwin tulip “Pride of Zwanen- 
burg.” Height, 28 inches. $4.45 for 10; $42 per 100. 
LA FIANCEE. A most beautiful and distinct pink tulip 
with a blue base. Plant near purple barberry or purple 
plum, with camassias and bleeding hearts. This large and 
handsome tulip which is so splendid for mass effects, for 
groupings and for exhibition purposes, has been much in 
demand. Height, 32 inches. $.95 for 10; $7 per 100. 
LA FRANCE. A very lovely novelty that has been great¬ 
ly admired at recent flower shows. Beautifully formed 
large flower, held erect on a tall stem. Of a very delicate 
pink, resembling in color the rose of this name with a pure 
white base. Lovely rising from a clump of Phlox divari¬ 
cata, var. Laphami. Height, 28 inches. $1.35 for 10; 
$ I I per 100. See illustration, page 42.
