Their dignified and remarkable colors place them distinctly in a

*Bacchus, 2 Doz. $0.80, 100 $6.00 
Here is the richest of violet-blue Tulips, Bacchus, with a dusky 
bloom on its outer petals like that found on grapes. The flower 
is held very straight at the top of a 2’/j-foot stem; the beau¬ 
tiful tone of purple makes it especially nice to use with sky- 
blue spring flowers, and the suggestion of Anchusa myosotidi- 
flora is given here as a companion or foreground for this va¬ 
riety. Height 33 inches. 
*Bronze Queen, 1 Doz. $0.70, 100 $4.75

duced. When in full bloom the flower becomes bright orange 
with a delicate shade of bronze. Height 24 inches.

*Fairy (Panorama), 2 Doz. $0.70, 100 $5.00 
Remarkable for its splendid coppery orange color, its overlying

nificent, the effect in mass planting superb. Height 27 inches. 
*Golden Goblet Doz. $1.05, 100 $7.75 
A magnifcently formed and beautifully toned old gold, cup¬ 
shaped flower. A truly handsome Breeder Tulip without dull¬ 
ness of color so often found in Breeders. The "old gold" blos- 
bronze and terra cotta, brown and violet, and buff and maroon found 
among the Breeders. The flowers are, many of them, sweet scented, 
and all are splendid for cutting. 
soms are alive and sparkle, yet with a restraint that bespeoks 
fine breeding. The flowers last long, standing up well in great 
heat; unquestionably the best variety in this collection. We 
have requested the production of a large quantity so that at 
time of introduction it could be offered at a moderate price.

with chestnut-red. It is margined with brownish gold and has 
black anthers. Height 36 inches. 
^Indian Chief, 3 Doz. $1.40, 100 $10.00 
Perhaps the most artistic of all Breeder Tulips; a flower of 
enormous size carried on a very tall stiff stem. Of glorious 
coloring and in every way desirable for every purpose. The 
beautiful intriguing color is of an Indian-brown, flushed cop¬ 
pery brown; a very effective dark, wood-brown Tulip with a 
burnished metallic sheen and illusive rose-colored lights. One

38 inches high. (Color illustration, page K.)

it one of the most conspicuous; bright dark royal purple.

William the Silent Doz. $2.25, 100 $15.00 
What a marvel is this among the purple Breeder Tulips! Its 
widely opened cup of warm, reddish purple, its generally superb 
appearance, the fine texture of its petals, make it an out¬ 
standing 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. $0.70, 100 $4.75 
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.
