•Feu Brilliant, 2 Doz. $1.00, 100 $7.25 
A glorious scarlet Tulip; large and beautifully shaped flower on strong 
stem; one of the first to bloom. Height 28 inches. 
•Flamingo, 2 Doz. $0.85, 100 $6.25 
A choice addition to the ranks of the pure-pink Tulips, this charming, 
globular, pointed flower of serene color receives a warm welcome 
wherever shown. It has a well-defined white base with a blue halo and 
the petals have a silvery sheen. Charming among silver-leaved Nepeta, 
it is also very effective among Bleeding Hearts. Height 28 inches. 
Giant, 2 Doz. $1.05, 100 $7.75 
Deep plum-purple, shaded dark violet with white base. Handsome 
flower of enormous size on long stems. Height 29 inches. One of the 
best. 
Gold Lake, 1 Doz. $1.20, 100 $8.75 
Bright yellow, orange shaded, cuplike flower. The ends of the petals are 
tipped with a very small brown spot. A very good deep yellow Darwin, 
but in ou-r opinion, not as good as Yellow Giant. Height 27 inches. 
•Jubilee, 2 Doz. $1.05, 100 $7.75 
Deep wine color and deep violet, this Tulip, with its splendid carriage, 
good form and strong texture, holds a place by itself among the 
purple Darwins. A very fine, gracefully carried Tulip whose dusky, yet 
cheerful, coloring gives 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. Charming above 
Anchusa myosotiflora, in drifts above these blue flowers, the effect is 
wonderfully good. Height 31 inches. 
Kathleen Parlow, 3 Doz. $2.10, 100 $13.25 
A marvelously fine Darwin of unusual coloring which draws immediate 
attention in the border. The large, beautifully shaped flower is of a 
silvery rose with a white center; it is carried on a strong, tall stem, 
and has all the qualities to make it one of the most refined Tulips so 
far introduced. None like it in this tone are anywhere as good. Height 
30 inches. 
•King George V, 2 Doz. $1.20, 100 $8.75 
Sparkling cherry-rose Tulip of great size and bold carriage; one of the 
finest introductions 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 softness to the brilliant flower. 
The color holds well in sunshine. Blends well with early lavender and 
white Irises. An effective setting may also be had by planting a mass of 
this among blue, white, or yellow spring flowers. Height 26 inches. 
•King Harold, 3 Doz. $0.80, 100 $5.75

greens; one of the very best for borders and mass planting where 
individual size does not matter.
