Our Bulbs are the very highest quality, all top roots and espe¬ 
cially selected for us. 
A distinct race of Single Late Tulips with immense flowers of well rounded 
form, on tall, thick stems from 2 to 3 feet in height. This, with their very 
brilliant colors, ranging from almost pure white through all the shades of 
pink and purple to the most intense red, makes them unsurpassed for plant¬ 
ing out or for cutting. The varieties we offer are selected from a very large , 
collection as the best and most distinct, containing none but the large 
flowering sorts. Forcing sorts marked with an asterisk (*). 
NOTE: Mailed free at the dozen price, otherwise add postage 
at zone rate. Weight, 1 lb. per doz., 8 lbs. per 100. 
As it generally becomes difficult to supply the newer 
and scarcer varieties later than September 15th to 20th, 
we recommend early ordering.
