ers are mostly long and oval, many of them with the petals gracefully 
reflexed. The Cottage Tulips as a class are rich in the more delicate

stamens. One of the loveliest Tulips. 24 inches. 
Advance Doz. $1.90, 100 $12.50

duces giant, blazing red flowers on 24-inch stems. 
♦Alaska Doz. $0.70, 100 $5.00 
Clear bright yellow and elegant form. The petals reflex slightly 
and the charm of the slender bloom is unusual. 25 inches. 
♦Ambrosia Doz. $0.75, 100 $5.25 
A rich flower of pale terra cotta and amber, and a rosy glow 
throughout, of great size and slender form, held on a very long

is equal to that of the well known Rose Columbia. 28 inches. 
♦Arethusa ’ Doz. $0.80, 100 $6.00 
A charming two-tone Tulip. Large and freely opened cup with 
broad petals slightly reflexing, of unusual grace and beauty. 
The artistically formed flower is of a translucent, light chrome 
yellow. There is, we believe, no color just like it, contrasting 
perfectly with the green of its leaf, adding to its other charms 
an exquisite springlike fragrance. Massed over brown Pansies 
or rising out of drifts of Forget-me-nots, they create an un¬ 
forgettable picture. Fine for cutting. A most important ac¬ 
quisition. Height 25 inches.

anthers. Sometimes appears without this black base. Effec¬ 
tive grown among blue Myosotis or Mertensia Virginica, or 
have them rise in quantity from a solid bed of double arabis, 
the long flower held up straight on a strong stem. For effect 
large masses of this variety should be planted. 27 inches.

recent introduction. The color is a most radiant cherry-pink 
with an extraordinary effect of golden light shining through it. 
The flower is long and exquisitely modeled and gives forth a 
delicious fragrance. It does not fade in the sun and lasts in 
perfection for a much longer period than most Tulips. Un¬ 
doubtedly destined for a great future. Height 36 inches. 
♦Buff Beauty Doz. $0.80, 100 $5.75 
This interesting and beautiful Tulip has the true cupped form 
of the Darwins with strong erect stem of medium length, but 
the color of the flower is in the best tradition of the Cottage 
type, a rich glowing blend of coral-rose and dark amber with 
a canary base and buff anthers. The color is delicate with 
lovely flushes, that one has difficulty giving a description of 
its charms. It is sweetly fragrant. Height 25 inches.

price. Height 29 inches.

or light jasper-red, with topaz lights and amber edges to the 
and artistic shades of pink, yellow, orange, and fawn with salmon, 
old rose, and amber. They are best of all Tulips for cutting and 
should be planted outdoors. They will last for many years.
