did variety above a bed of brown pansies. Height, 38

with its golden yellow open-cupped flowers, its beauty 
enhanced by a delicate purple tint on the outside, giving 
it a touch of bronze and at the same time intensifying 
the golden hue inside of cup. It matches the light cad¬ 
mium-yellow of Ridgway’s Color Standards. Very late 
and of great lasting qualities. Planted with blue or 
purple pansies as a ground cover produce a pleasing 
color contrast. Height, 34 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 
per 100.

the new giant Breeder tulips. An outstanding exhibi¬ 
tion tulip. The very large cup-shaped flowers are of a 
light cadmium-yellow overlaid with dull slate-violet.

ing from a foreground planting of Scilla campanulata.

he fine texture of its petals make it an outstanding 
jurple tulip, and one deserving its illustrious name. 
rhe 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 gar- 
len. A beautiful combination may be had by planting 
Cottage tulip “Advance” or a similar shade among, or . 
n front of, “William the Silent.” Height, 30 inches. 
\1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100.
