rose color which is more sumptuous than words can tell. The

Lzarre ano UJyt^Loem 
(Old Dutch Tulips) 
Bybloem and Bizarre Tulips are "rectified" Breeder types. The 
Tulips are of an old race which has been grown in Holland and in 
France since the beginning of the seventeenth century, and which 
caused the famous Tulip craze in 1635. The Bybloems are queerly 
striped and feathered rose or violet on a white ground. The Bi- 
zarres have dark brown stripes and feathering on a yellow ground. 
They flower about the same time as the Breeder and Darwin Tulips 
but do not grow quite so tall, and are seen at best advantage when 
planted in clumps in the herbaceous border or among evergreens 
and shrubs. They are above all sensational show Tulips. All form 
rare artistic beauty. 
^Bizarre and Bybloem Tulips Mixed Doz. $0.85, 100 $6.50 
tps 
Rembrandt Tulips are nothing more or less than Darwin Tulips 
in which white, lavender, red and other colored stripes or flakes 
have appeared. The blending of colors is at all times in perfect 
harmony and most attractive and colorful. They are especially fine 
when used for cut flowers. They bloom at the same time as the 
Darwins and require the same care. We advise their use in mix¬ 
ture only. 
American Flag (Old Glory), 2 Doz. $3.50, 100 $24.50 
Brilliant deep red with broad marbled white lines and mark¬ 
ings. The flowers are large, excellently shaped, and on long 
stiff wiry stems. Most brilliant and unique Tulip. Blends ex¬ 
ceptionally well with white flowers. Height 28 inches. 
*Finest Mixed Rembrandt Tulips Doz. $0.85, 100 $6.50 
ayneleoYL C^uLips 
Here we have a collection of new Tulips which in form and 
shape resemble the Darwin Tulips; the coloring, however, reminds 
one of the Cottage Tulip Picotee. 
When Chameleon Tulips first come into bloom they show only 
faint tracings or delicate margins of pink on the edges of the 
flower petals, with the development and consequent aging of the 
bloom these markings enlarge and gradually spread over the entire 
flower. The blossoms never look the same from day to day and it 
is truly fascinating to watch this change of color taking place. 
Amie Newell, 2 Doz. $1.30, 100 $9.25 
Opening white with a beautiful bright wine-red border, later 
suffusing the entire flower to a clear wine-red. A flower of 
perfect Darwin Tulip form. Height 22 inches. 
Fanny Fisk, 2 Doz. $1.30, 100 $9.25 
White with light red border on each petal. One flower often 
differs from the other in coloring; sometimes some of them 
will turn red. This has always been one of the most attractive 
varieties in our Chameleon collection. Height 25 inches. 
Ossi Oswalda Doz. $1.45, 100 $10.25 
Opening creamy-white delicately flushed rose, when fully de¬ 
veloped the flower is a clear rose shade. This is an excep¬ 
tionally beautiful variety when used for forcing in pans in early 
February. One of our favorites. Height 26 inches. 
Peasant Maid, 2 Doz. $1.30, 100 $9.25 
Opening white and rose, becoming a lovely rosy red when in 
full bloom. This variety has been greatly commended by all 
who have seen it. Large flower of good substance, which is 
carried on a strong stem. Height 23 inches. 
Wayside Wonder, 2 Doz. $1.30, 100 $9.25 
Opening pure white with a delicate deep red picotee edge. This 
narrow band of color spreads and becomes more beautiful as 
the flower ages, softening in tone until the entire flower has 
turned to rose-pink. Then as well as at opening it is a delight¬ 
fully lovely Tulip. Height 24 inches.
