WILLIAM 
the 
SILENT 
WILLIAM the SILENT 
Tremendous flowers royally borne on 
30-inch stems colored a deep, rich, dark 
purple. The flower has striking creamy 
white base outlined with blue. The mar¬ 
velous William the Silent is one perfect 
dark purple Tulip; the stateliest, noblest, 
most dignified and regal Tulip. 3 for 
65c; ^1.85 per doz.; $12.25 per 100. 
PRINCESS MARY. Very large and substan^ 
tial flowers of an exquisite, deep pure rose, 
borne on tall stems. The tallest, finest and 
most perfect of the real rose Tulips. Do 
not confuse this variety with Queen Mary. 
$1.75 per doz.; $11.95 per 100. 
PROFESSOR RAUWENHOF. Full cherry' 
rose, with ivory-white and blue star at base; 
flower of enormous size, very tall. 75c per 
doz.; $5.50 per 100. 
QUEEN MARY. In every respect the larg¬ 
est, finest and most perfect cerise-red Tulip 
in existence. 85c per doz.; $5.95 per 100. 
SONATE. The great flower cups are colored 
tomato-red with the petals strikingly mar¬ 
gined with orange. The in¬ 
side of the cup flashes with a 
carmine sheen and reveals a 
base of yellow and green as 
a background for the great 
black anthers. If you revel in 
the new and unusual flowers, 
Sonate is one to boast about. 
3 for 95c; $2.90 per doz.; 
$20.95 per 100. 
SOUTHERN CROSS. The 
large and exquisitely shaped 
flowers have just enough ivory 
in their coloring to escape be¬ 
ing pure white. On the edge 
of each petal is a narrow bor¬ 
der of vivid orange, which, 
over the whole flower, plays a 
flush of amber light. Southern Cross is 
very definitely a new departure in Tulip 
colors. $1.90 per doz.; $12.50 per 100. 
VENUS 
Flowers of the deepest pink with paler 
pink at the top of the inner petals. 
Loveliest of all the pink Tulips. Height 
30 inches. 90c per doz.; $6.25 per 100. 
WHITE GIANT 
Years ago we raved about Painted Lady, 
thinking it the finest possible white 
Giant-Flowering Tulip. Then Zwanen- 
burg was created and Painted Lady dis¬ 
appeared from our gardens. Now comes 
White Giant, so much finer than Zwan- 
enburg that we predict that in another 
ten years Zwanenburg will have fol¬ 
lowed Painted Lady into the limbo of 
forgotten things. White Giant is the 
perfect white Giant-Flowering Tulip on 
stems 30 inches tall. 3 for 65c; $2.15 
^ per doz.; $13.95 per 100. 
TANTALUS. The great flow¬ 
ers of this new beauty are col¬ 
ored soft apricot-fawn with a 
suggestion of gold at the mar¬ 
gin. The flower has a pure 
yellow base and violet anthers, 
and over the whole, inside 
and out, plays a sheen of pale 
hortense-violet. 3 for 95c; 
$3.00 per doz.; $22.00 per 
100 . 
THE BISHOP. A fine, large 
cup-shaped Tulip carried on 
a 30-inch stem, colored lively 
bishop’s-purple; the base is 
blue with a white halo and 
over the reverse of the petals 
play illusive fawn-colored 
lights. Indescribably lovely. 
$1.35 per doz.; $9.95 per 100. 
VESTA. Flowers of tremendous 
size crowning the top of 30- 
inch stems and colored a prim¬ 
rose so delicate and illusive as 
to be almost pure white. An 
exquisitely proportioned flow¬ 
er, dainty and refined in its 
coloring. 85c per doz.; $5.95 
per 100. 
VELVET KING. Incomparably 
the largest, finest, and most 
perfect bright, dark royal pur¬ 
ple Tulip in existence. $1.10 
per doz.; $7.95 per 100. 
WILLIAM PITT. Deepest rich 
crimson. A very large flower 
of gorgeous coloring. A fine 
border variety. 85c per doz.; 
$5.75 per 100. 
ZULU. Rich velvety purple- 
black; large egg-shaped 
flower; very distinct. 85c per 
doz.; $5.75 per 100. 
ZWANENBURG. Yes, there 
is a finer white Tulip than 
Zwanenburg but it is more 
costly. In the meantime the 
flowers of Zwanenburg are 
nearly as large as the largest 
and the white is just as pure 
and the substance of the flower 
just as fine. Zwanenburg does 
have black anthers, which of 
course, prevents it from be¬ 
ing a pure white Tulip. How¬ 
ever, as Mr. Elliott says, “A 
little touch of black by way 
of contrast actually improves 
the beauty of the flowers.” 
95c per doz.; $6.95 per 100.

ties, Dutch grower’s selection.

Bunch-Flowered Tulip 
The Sensation of the Tulip Shows 
Though we had admired these Tulips in Holland, until re¬ 
cently we had not had an opportunity to test them in America. 
Exhibited for the first time in our Tulip show they created a pro¬ 
found sensation. Every order booked included the Bunch-Flow¬ 
ered Tulips (Tulipa multiflora). 
The standard Tulip produces one flower to the bulb. The 
bunch-flowered Tulips produce from five to eight full sized flow¬ 
ers on each 2-ft. stem. The colors are lovely and the effect is 
entirely new from anything heretofore seen in Tulips. 
MAD. LE MOTTET. Bunch-flowering deep carmine-rose. $1.10 
per doz.; $7.95 per 100. 
MONS. LE MOTTET. Bunch-flowering creamy white. 85c per 
doz.; $5.75 per 100.
