COTTAGE 
AND 
HYBRID 
TULIPS 
MIMOSA. A beautiful tulip. Strong and vigorous 
grower. Its color is somewhat difficult to describe. The 
basic color is cream-yellow with light brownish red 
markings running through the center of each petal. Base 
is dark blue with prominent anthers. Interesting when 
planted in combination with tulips of red and orange 
tones. Height, 28 inches. $1.10 for 10; $8.50 per 100. 
MONGOLIA. This we consider one of the best of the 
recent introductions; it is one of the largest deep-yellow 
varieties in existence. The flowers are egg-shaped, of 
great substance and carried on tall strong stems. While 
the yellow color of this beauty is rather deep, it has a 
tone of softness, making it extremely desirable. Indeed 
an outstanding variety. Plant in combination with 
Breeder tulips “Bronze Queen” and “Louis XIV” with 
bronze and purple pansies as ground cover. Height, 32 
inches. $2.85 for 10; $26.00 per 100. See illustration, 
page 5. 
MOONLIGHT. The best pale yellow of the older va¬ 
rieties; a lovely color with a very long flower of fine 
oval shape. Beautiful in the borders among early irises, 
bleeding hearts and Nepeta mussini. Height, 25 inches. 
$0.85 for 10; $6.00 per 100. 
MRS. F. E. DIXON. This very beautiful tulip makes a 
deep impression upon all who see it. Of immense size, 
yet artistic in the extreme, lovely in form, the softly 
colored, sulphury yellow bloom is carried upright on 
strong stiff stem. The petals have a waxlike texture and 
are of a substance rarely met with. A beautiful picture 
might be made by planting this beauty among forget- 
me-nots or with light blue and white pansies or with a 
background of lilac “President Fallieres.” Many happy 
combinations may be made with this wonderful tulip. 
Very late. Height, 28 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 
100. See illustration, page 14. 
MRS. JOHN T. SCHEEPERS. The first impression one 
gets from this tulip is its majestic beauty. Elegantly 
formed, oval-shaped, large flowers of deep golden yel¬ 
low, very clear of color, are carried on tall, thick, sturdy 
stems with clear green foliage that in itself commands 
immediate attention. The entire plant is of the strongest 
development. The blooms are enormous, with fleshy, 
wholesome petals of unsurpassed substance and of fine 
lasting quality. A real giant among tulips. This mag¬ 
nificent variety is recognized by experts as the choicest 
yellow tulip for garden decoration, one that especially 
suits the American climate. Awarded highest honors 
whenever exhibited. Height, 30 inches. $1.75 for 10; 
$15.00 per 100. See illustration, page 6. 
MR. J. H. WENTHOLT. A lovely, large, deep yellow 
tulip of perfect form. One of the most attractively 
colored. Beautiful when rising from a clump of Phlox 
Laphami. Strong and vigorous grower. Height, 27 
inches. $2.45 for 10; $22.00 per 100. 
NECTARINE One of the first of the new hybrid tulips 
to come into flower. Its color, a primrose-yellow, flushed 
apricot near the edges, gives a very pleasing color har¬ 
mony and creates much favorable comment in a tulip 
planting. Plant in front of Rosa Hugonis and rising 
from a mass of blue and purple pansies. Height, 26 
inches. $1.05 for 10; $7.75 per 100. 
PALLIETER. A very tall and stately tulip of pure cad¬ 
mium-yellow, overlaid with the pansy-orange flush. Very 
attractive and unusual. Height, 40 inches. $1.40 for 10; 
$11.50 per 100. See illustration, page 25. 
PERSEUS. Large flower of Darwin shape and carried on 
a strong stem. Of a most attractive light orange deepen¬ 
ing in the interior to scarlet with a double line of grena¬ 
dine-red through the center of each of the inner petals 
and a wax-yellow base. Most effective planted near a 
red Japanese maple and a foreground planting of white 
camassias and Anchusa myosotidiflora. Height, 28 
inches. $1.15 for 10; $9.00 per 100. 
REFULGENCE. A most attractive tulip of a warm or¬ 
ange. Similar in color to Breeder tulip “Lucifer,” but 
much larger; exceptionally beautiful variety. A very 
strong and vigorous grower. This wonderful flower 
should be in every worth-while collection. Have a large 
clump of these rise out of a bank of forget-me-nots, 
planted among Siberian wallflower or above yellow and 
brown pansies. Height, 30 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 
per 100. 
ROSABELLA. There is hardly a tulip anywhere to 
match this flower for a certain soft charm. Its color 
may be described as a delicious pink, warm, delicate 
and sweet, as lovely as a pink rosebud, or the colors of 
a sea shell, tender pink with a blush of deeper color 
suffusing each petal, and smart black anthers. Makes an 
engaging offset with Phlox divaricata and a pale yellow 
intermediate iris. It is difficult to use measured terms 
as one looks at this tulip and compares it with others. 
This is a flower of ineffable charm. Height, 26 inches. 
$0.80 for 10; $5.25 per 100. See illustration, page 11. 
VESTA. A superb pale primrose-yellow flower of great 
size and splendid substance, carried on a fine tall stem. 
After a day or two it pales almost to white, but lasts 
long. Fine to plant above pink English daisies. Late 
flowering. Height, 30 inches. $0.80 for 10; $5.25 per 
100 . 
WALL STREET. One of the best yellow tulips for gen¬ 
eral use. The large canary-yellow flowers are of Darwin 
shape and carried on a fine erect stem. Very beautiful. 
A bed of this tulip underplanted with pansy “Lord 
Beaconsfield” provides a most beautiful picture. Height, 
26 inches. $1.65 for 10; $14.00 per 100. 
YELLOW EMPEROR. A most desirable new variety be¬ 
cause of its rich buttercup-yellow color. The very long 
cup, of beautiful shape, is held high by a sturdy, erect 
stem. This lovely tulip rising from a ground cover of 
forget-me-nots will give unending joy to the eye. Height, 
32 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
YELLOW GIANT. This beautiful variety is one of the 
best of recent introductions; the large, finely formed, 
globular flower is carried on a long strong stem and is 
of a pure golden yellow. Height, 28 inches. $0.80 for 
10; $5.25 per 100.
