TULIPSX 
Since all three primaries plus pure white are essential to 
successful plant breeding, a third experiment was started in 
the hope of finding the two missing primaries and white. 
The third experiment was successful in producing pure yellow 
and pure white. Immediately the plant breeders started crossing 
the DARWIN and the BREEDER TULIPS with the new 
HYBRID TULIPS to produce the modern GIANT FLOWER^ 
ING TULIPS. Since the modern Giant Flowering Tulip contains 
the blood of all the preceding crosses in proportions now unknown 
even to the plant breeders themselves, it seems silly to maintain 
class distinctions, which are both scientifically and practically ab' 
solutely meaningless. Except for color they are identical and so 
we dropped the designations DARWIN, BREEDER, and HY¬ 
BRID as being useless and confusing. They are all Giant Flow¬ 
ering Tulips. 
For best results allow four bulbs for each square foot to be planted. 
COLONEL LINDBERGH. The 
newest of the yellow Giant 
Flowering Tulips and the most 
beautiful so far produced. 9?c

bly splendid flower of great 
size, colored a warm coppery

brown with a yellow base. 90c 
per doz.; $6.25 per 100. 
CORIDION. A gorgeous Tulip 
of rare form colored a clean, 
clear yellow overlaid with a 
lobelia stripe. It has no equal, 
even no rival, in its color class.

est and finest bright orange

liest possible shade of bronze.

coffee-brown with a narrow 
edge of golden brown. 85c

FARNCOMBE SANDERS. In 
its day this was a horticultural 
wonder, the marvel of the 
Tulip world. The old Farn- 
combe Sanders still produces 
fair sized flowers colored an 
intense, brilliant scarlet. Farn- 
combe Sanders is still pretty 
good and by far the best of 
the ‘TO Cent Store” varieties. 
75c per doz.; $5.50 per 100. 
INDIAN CHIEF 
One of the largest and most beautiful 
Tulips so far produced. The flowers 
measure over 8 inches in diameter and 
are carried on a strong, erect stem 38 
inches high. The color is of in¬ 
comparable glory, being a deep 
Indian red flushed coppery 
bronze and over the whole plays 
a burnished metal sheen and illu¬ 
sive rose colored lights. Match¬ 
less in its magnificence. $1.45 per 
doz.; $10.50 per 100. 
ECLIPSE. The flowers are tremendous in size 
and Eclipse, colored glowing mahogany-red, 
is the finest deep red Giant Flowering Tulip

25 for $2.75; $10.95 per 100.

lilac. Base white and blue. A long flower 
of beautiful shape, the finest lavender 
to plant with bronze Tulips and about 
the finest of the lavender Tulips. 
Excellent for forcing. 75c 
per doz.; $5.50 per 100. 
HAUTAIN 
The coloring of this 
new beauty, excepting 
that it is a little deeper 
with more orange in 
the blending, is similar 
to the lovely salmon- 
pink of that famous 
old-time favorite Clara 
Butt. The flowers, 
however, are much 
larger, the plant more 
sturdy, and it has no 
stem weakness. Sweet 
scented. 85c per doz.; 
$5.95 per 100. 
FAIRYLAND 
This new beauty, is one of the loveliest 
Tulips in existence. The flowers, which 
are of tremendous size, proudly crown 
30-inch stems. The color is an enchant¬ 
ing, vivid begonia-pink slightly paler at 
the edges. Fairyland is an exquisite 
thing, lovely beyond description. 95c 
per doz.; $6.95 per 100.
