cHew Giant BREEDER TULIPS 
T HE tremendously large flowers of this race of new 
Giant Breeders are far superior to the already 
known varieties. In size they may be compared to 
Indian Chief, but most of them are much larger. Their 
colors are finer and more attractive, the petals more 
substantial and they will last a very long time. Aver¬ 
age height from 30 to 36 inches. Destined to become 
the most popular Breeders when stock is more plen¬ 
tiful. 
Special Note. —These Tulips are very scarce and 
are not carried in stock. We cannot assure delivery 
unless ordered early, preferably by July 1 5.

Les 
T HE following are really Cottage Tulips but are listed separately because of their 
distinct form. They all have pointed and reflexed petals, creating a Lily-like 
and charming flower. Especially valuable when cut as they are much more graceful 
than most Tulips. Do not fail to plant a few this year. The varieties listed form a 
complete collection of the best available. 
Golden Emblem. (II.) An extremely good variety with long 
tapering and reflexing petals. The color is clear bright 
golden yellow. The finest Lily-flowering Tulip in this color. 
Height, 24 inches. (Color illustration, page 12.) $1.35 
per doz.; $9.50 per 100; $90.00 per 1000. 
Marcellina. (II.) Very graceful Tulip of a glorious rosy red 
color with white base. The finest in this color, considered 
far superior to Sirene. A most charming novelty. Height, 
24 inches. 85c per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $55.00 per 
1000 . 
Alaska. (III.) F ine flower of clear bright yellow of an 
even, soft tone—no other color anywhere. The pet¬ 
als are long and slightly reflexing. A very charming 
flower of the Lily-flowered type. Height, 25 inches.

flowering Tulip, and the only one in the color. 
Height, 24 inches. $1.75 per doz.; $1 2.50 per 1 00. 
Elegans Alba. (II.) A delightful creamy white Tulip 
with narrow edging of carmine. Unlike Picotee, this 
color does not suffuse the flower with age but re¬ 
mains constant. A most graceful and charming 
flower. Height, 22 inches. $2.25 per doz.; $15.00 
per 1 00. 
Fascinating. (I.) All that the name implies. Flowers 
are long and very graceful, the petals twisting 
slightly and flaring at the top in a most entrancing 
manner. The color is uniform creamy yellow. In 
our garden at Homebush Farm this spring it opened 
early and stayed in bloom till the end, in the most 
exposed situation. Too much cannot be said in 
praise of this lovely Tulip. (Color illustration, paqe 
7.) Height, 26 inches. $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 
per 100. 
Martha. (I.) A delicate cerise-red with white center.

Tulip. Very tall and willowy but stem not weak.
