ELLIOTT NURSERY CO. 
GIANT 
L The modern Giant Flowering Tulip is the result of three sepa' 
^ rate experiments in plant breeding and of the inter^breeding of 
the products of these experiments. The final result is a race of 
Tulips so beautiful and with a color range so varied as to be be' 
yond even the imagination of the previous generation of gardeners. 
The first experiment produced the DARWIN TULIPS, in' 
eluding the so'called Ideal Darwins. The resulting colors were 
gorgeous reds, magnificent lovely pinks together with inferior 
purples and dirty whites. Obviously the group was neither com' 
plete nor satisfactory. 
The second experiment called BREEDER TULIPS resulted in 
color variations of yellow and blue tones. Again the plant breed' 
ers failed to get either the pure primary colors blue and yellow or 
white. The pure primary red existed only in the DARWINS.

CAMELLIA 
A gorgeous new Tulip which definitely puts 
that famous old favorite Princess Elizabeth 
into the “10 Cent Store” class. The lovely 
satiny rose-pink color of Camellia is even 
finer than Princess Elizabeth, the flowers 
are much larger, of far better substance 
and Camellia has a far more graceful shape.

of the rather weak Princess Elizabeth.

CITY OF HAARLEM

inch stems. Absolutely the finest deep 
scarlet Giant Flowering Tulip. $1.00 per 
doz.; $7.25 per 100. 
ADVANCE. For 50 years Farncombe 
Sanders ruled the Tulip world as the 
finest scarlet Tulip in existence. But 
no reign can last forever, and now 
comes Advance to throw 
Sanders from its high place. 
Advance is superior to 
Sanders in every respect. 
The flowers are so much 
larger that they make 
Sanders seem puny by com' 
parison. And the stem is 
taller, 30 inches as against 
22, and in addition it has 
no tendency towards weak' 
ness. The color is even 
more intense and vivid; a 
fiery scarlet that literally 
burns holes in the land' 
scape. Incomparably the finest 
Giant Flowered scarlet Tulip in ex' 
istence. 3 for 70c; $1.98 per doz.; 
$13.25 per 100.
