DIDO. Here is a perfect flower, bewitching in its love¬ 
liness. Unspeakably glorious in its extraordinary lumi¬ 
nous light effects and its long and slender form, poised 
firmly at the top of its tall, straight stem, it must strike 
everyone as among the wonders of the world of tulips. 
Its color is a deep rich pink or light jasper-red, with 
Lambert topaz lights and amber edges to the petals, the 
base and anthers pale corn-yellow. A lovely ensemble 
and warmly fragrant. It has no peer as an unusually 
magnificent tulip, the sweet fragrance adding much to 
the value of the flower. Where a bright color effect is 
needed it is superb. Height, 32 inches. $0.75 for 10; 
$4.75 per 100. See illustration, page 14. 
DOSIA. A most unusual tulip by reason of its unique 
coloring. Of a very fine deep red with yellow shadings 
towards the edges with a yellow interior that is sprayed 
deep red. A very strong and vigorous grower, and a 
color that will serve nicely as a break between the yel¬ 
low and red varieties. Height, 28 inches. $1.45 for 10; 
$12.00 per 100. 
GEISHA. A very lovely tulip with large flowers of ex¬ 
quisite shape. The warm glow of spinel-pink, finely 
flamed inside of cup, is faintly reflected on the outside, 
and overlaid with delicate violet tinge. Black anthers 
are raised high above a blue center. The delicate lilac- 
pink shading invites planting in combination with lilacs 
of blue shadings rising from a ground cover of Jacob’s 
ladder. Height, 30 inches. $1.15 for 10; $9.00 per 100. 
GOLDEN AGE. This is one of the most beautiful of 
all yellow hybrids of recent introduction. The large 
flower of a bright golden yellow with orange fleckings 
is carried on a tall, stiff stem. A valuable addition to your 
collection; may we suggest that you try a few of these, 
to put a clump here and there in your border plantings? 
Height, 28 inches. $2.25 for 10; $20.00 per 100. See 
illustration, page 19.

reticulated with rose-purple, the color varying in depth 
in individual blooms and also in the amount of the sur¬ 
face suffused. Very large flower and carried on a fine 
strong stem. Perfect, if planted in front of purple lilacs 
and rising from a ground cover of Nepeta mussini. 
An excellent exhibition tulip. Height, 30 inches. $1.10 
for 10; $8.50 per 100. 
G. W. LEAK. A charming cup-shaped flower, the outer 
petals slightly flared, showing the influence of the Cot¬ 
tage tulip blood. The color is amazing, a pure spectrum- 
red with a scarlet interior. The anthers are apricot- 
yellow with a light yellow base that reflects slightly on 
the outside of the petals. Picture this tulip rising from 
the silvery Artemisia frigida and amidst drifts of hybrid 
tulip “Vesta.” Height, 29 inches. $1.15 for 10; $9.00 
per 100. 
HENRY CORREVON. A very attractive novelty. Bold, 
large, cup-shaped flowers of rose-red, a lighter line run¬ 
ning up through the center of each of the inner petals. 
Base of flower is white, just touched with ageratum- 
violet. Strong grower of refined form. Very effective 
against an evergreen background and rising from a 
ground cover of Jacob’s ladder. Height, 28 inches.

of great size of a uniform creamy yellow, egg-shaped

the Darwin type is carried erect on a strong tall stem. 
The color is very striking, of a deep orange-yellow with 
a suffusion of scarlet towards the edges of the petals. 
A late bloomer, it has increasing value as a variety that 
should be carefully considered when adding to your col¬ 
lection for the border. Height, 28 inches. $1.05 for 10; 
$7.75 per 100. See illustration, page 25.

MADAME BUYSSENS. An exceptionally fine two-toned 
yellow tulip of outstanding merit. Of exquisite prim¬

plays unusual coloring. The beautifully formed flower, 
which is large and carried on a strong tall stem, is of 
a shade of buff and salmon which passes into deep rose- 
pink with salmon shades; the center is white. Its best 
use is with forget-me-nots near, though in any spot 
where the myrtle’s lavender-blue flowers abound, this 
tulip would be charming rising from among them. 
Height, 26 inches. $0.95 for 10; $7.00 per 100. See 
illustration, page 6. 
MERCURIUS. A true Darwin-type tulip of a pleasing
