Breeder Tulip, Admiral Tromp 
•'Godet Parfait, 2 Doz. $0.85, 100 $6.25 
Like a "Damson Plum" in color and in texture, a beautiful Tulip of 
great richness and excellent habit of growth. Its slender stem permits 
it to bend a little. Its wondrous bloom and rich, deep, reddish purple 
color touched with feathers of brownish black which are almost indis¬ 
tinguishable in the darkness of the flower, make it exceedingly dis¬ 
tinguished. The outside of the flower is a duller purple than the inside.

effect. Height 30 inches.

standing up well in great heat; unquestionably the best variety in this

William the Silent Doz. $3.50, 100 $24.50 
What a marvel is this among the purple Breeder Tulios! Its widely 
opened cup of warm, reddish purple, its generally superb appearance, 
the fine texture of its petals, make it an outstanding purple Tulip, and 
one deserving its illustrious name. The flower is carried on a strong, 
tall stem. With its striking creamy base outlined with blue, and its 
purple-velvet anthers, it is a variety to adorn the stateliest garden. 
Height 30 inches. 
*Choice Mixed Breeder Tulips Doz. $0.80, 100 $5.75 
Mixed bulbs, as a rule, do not appeal to the planter because of the 
difficulty in the blending of colors. Breeder Tulips, however, are in 
a class by themselves, and their colors do permit easy blending. 
They are in shades of bronze, golden bronze, violet, buff, maroon 
and terra cotta. We suggest a liberal planting for cut flowers.
