LONG STEMS, GRACEFUL IN HABIT 
COTTAGE TULIPS are varieties which have been found, for the most part, sequestered in the old cottage gardens 
of the British Isles. Hybrid tulips are the results of crosses between the Cottage, Breeder and Darwin tulips. 
They flower approximately at the same time as the Breeder and Darwin tulips, during the month of May, with 
exception of the far southern section, where they bloom in April. They are often marked by long, rather pointed 
petals and thin, wiry stems. 
All the tulips offered in our list are beautiful, presenting a great variety in form and coloring. They are prized 
for cutting because of their long stems and graceful habit, and are especially adaptable for permanent, hardy 
flower borders where they should be freely planted in large clumps and in masses. 
Plant 6 inches deep and not less than 5 inches apart. In planting in clumps, set the bulbs about 3 inches apart. 
To insure proper drainage, sand, to the depth of an inch, should be put underneath the bulb. 
ADVANCE. Truly a remarkable tulip, the result of a 
cross between “Gesneriana Spathulata” and the botanical 
tulip “Greigii.” One of the largest flowers seen in 
tulips, reminding one when fully open of an Oriental 
poppy. The color is difficult to describe, a fiery red with 
a blue base. One of the earliest of the May-flowering 
tulips. Height, 30 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
AMBROSIA. A rich and luscious flower of pale terra¬ 
cotta, with amber lights and a rosy glow throughout, 
this is a tulip that commands delighted attenton wher¬ 
ever seen. It sets one to marveling at what has been 
done in hybridizing. “Ambrosia” is a flower of great 
size and rather slender form, held at the top of a very 
long fine stem. It is the artist’s tulip. To its other 
charms it adds that of delightful fragrance. Long last¬ 
ing and especially fine for cutting. Plant or cut this new 
beauty with Darwin tulip “Faust,” its perfect foil. 
Height, 30 inches. $0.80 for 10; $5.25 per 100. See 
illustration, page 19. 
ARETHUSA. A charming two-tone tulip. A gloriously 
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 hardly a tint just like it, contrasting perfectly 
with the green of its leaf, adding to its other charms an 
exquisite spring-like fragrance, all that makes spring 
intoxicating to sense and spirit. Massed over brown 
wallflowers or rising out of drifts of trembling forget- 
me-nots, or in combination with Bizarre tulips, they 
will create unforgettable pictures. Height, 26 inches. 
$0.85 for 10; $6.00 per 100. 
AVIS KENNICOTT. Very large, chrome-yellow flower, 
with striking black base and anthers. Sometimes ap¬ 
pears without this black base. Effective grown near iris 
“Kochi,” planted among blue myosotis or Mertensia 
virginica, or have them rise in quantity from a solid 
bed of white pansies or arabis, the long flower held up 
straight on a strong stem. Height, 27 inches. $0.75 for 
10; $5.00 per 100. See illustration, page 13. 
BARBARA PRATT. One of the most remarkably beau¬ 
tiful and brilliant tulips of recent introduction. The 
color is a most radiant cherry-pink with an extraor¬ 
dinary 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. A luminous and beautiful flower, worthy of a 
fine name, undoubtedly destined for a great future. 
Height, 36 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 100. 
BELLE JAUNE. One of the most beautiful of the deep- 
yellow tulips. Very fine egg-shaped flower of deep 
golden yellow with a bright yellow interior, a light base 
and yellow anthers, and carried on a strong, erect stem. 
A planting of this tulip in front of lilac “Katherine 
Havemeyer” will create an unforgettable picture. Very 
scarce. Height, 30 inches. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. 
BERANGER. An outstanding tulip of unusually vivid 
orange coloring, a brick-red suffused salmon-orange, 
the interior of the flower being a deeper orange with 
yellow stripes through center of each petal. Slender 
shaped cups formed by long, narrow, somewhat reflex¬ 
ing petals. Rising from a foreground planting of Iberis 
sempervirens a very effective picture can be created. 
Height, 30 inches. $1.15 for 10; $9.00 per 100. 
CARRARA. This is a fair pale tulip, which has already 
created, by its beauty, a sensation at the great flower 
shows. It is as round as the breast of a swan; as purely 
white as the marble from which it takes its name, and 
is in all ways an enchanting tulip. A most entrancing 
and delicate flower. Height, 27 inches. $0.80 for 10; 
$5.50 per 100. See illustration, page 20. 
CLAUDIUS PERNET. A beautiful flower which has been 
one of the favorites of the visitors to “Paradou.” This 
graceful tulip is refined in form and is carried on firm, 
erect stems. The color is a most charming salmon-buff, 
seemingly overlaid with light orange, which deepens on 
the inner side of the petals to pure grenadine-red, a 
glowing color, seldom seen outside of the flowers of the 
tropics. Very lasting and holding its color remarkably 
well without burning or fading. Grow amidst Anchusa 
myosotidiflora. Height, 26 inches. $ 1.05 for 10; $7.75 
per 100.

CONDE NAST. An outstanding novelty of great charm. 
A seedling of the well known hybrid tulip, “Mrs. F. E. 
Dixon,” it is similar in habit of form, growth, strength 
and lasting quality of flower. One of the latest tulips 
to flower. Of barium-yellow, almost the color of straw 
and with delicate pencilings of geranium-pink outlining 
the petals. Its long slender cup opens only slightly even 
in bright sunshine. Planted near bleeding heart and in 
front of a pink dogwood will greatly enhance its beauty. 
Height, 28 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100.
