A VIGOROUS RACE of self-colored tulips, distinguished by their strong and tall stems and their shapely flowers. 
To all intents and purposes they are Breeder tulips. They flower simultaneously with the Breeder, Cottage and 
Hybrid tulips during the month of May, with the exception of far southern sections, where they bloom during April. 
The varieties named in our list have been especially selected as being distinct, showy and beautiful. Unsatisfac¬ 
tory varieties have been eliminated, so that you need have no hesitation in choosing the colors you require, as all 
are good. 
We have been awarded many gold medals, cups and other highest honors for superiority, including the gold medal 
offered by President Coolidge, the gold medal of the Garden Club of America, the gold cup of the Holland Bulb 
Exporters Association, the gold medal presented by Her Majesty, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, and a 
special gold medal at the great Spring Flower Show in Holland. 
ADORATION. A beautiful tulip typical of the giant 
Darwins with its large cup, almost square, poised on 
tall, erect stems. Its color is a rich old rose shading to 
a lighter hue, a cameo-pink, along the edges. Whether 
growing in formal beds over a ground cover of forget- 
me-nots or English daisies, or whether planted inform¬ 
ally in groups in the border near dogwood or lilac, this 
tulip will always elicit admiration. Height, 30 inches. 
$1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100. 
AFTERGLOW (Katherine Havemeyer). The beautiful 
color of this fine tulip is a striking association of rose 
and orange with salmon lights; it might be called a soft 
apricot-orange tinged with pink, with a light orange 
edge. This superb variety will make a gorgeous effect 
if planted in masses with a ground cover of myosotis, 
or rising out of a mass of Cheiranthus allioni. Height, 
30 inches. $0.75 for 10; $5.00 per 100. 
ANNIE SPEELMAN. One of the most pleasing of the 
white Darwin tulips. An enormous flower of the purest 
white with white base and anthers. It opens at first in 
a delicate cream white, turning with age into a pure 
white. The flower has long-lasting quality and is carried 
on a straight, perfect stem. Height, 30 inches. $3.45 for 
10; $32.00 per 100. 
ANTON MAUVE. A fine tall flower of generous cup 
shape. Its darkest tone is bishop’s violet, but it pales to 
lilac and turns to silver at the edges. Beautiful among 
bleeding hearts and such a pale yellow iris as “Half- 
dan,” with a few “Inglescombe Pink” tulips or massed 
with Iberis sempervirens or Cheiranthus allioni. Does 
as well in semi-shade as in full sunshine; wherever 
planted its fine bearing will bring character to any care¬ 
ful grouping. Height, 32 inches. $0.85 for 10; $6.00 
per 100. See illustration, page 13. 
APHRODITE. An exquisite Darwin of clear silvery pink, 
deeper within. There is a lovely shade of soft buff 
towards the edge of the petals when the flower is opening 
which makes this variety increasingly attractive. Very 
large flower on tall stem. Height, 32 inches. $ 0.90 for 
10; $6.50 per 100. 
ARISTOCRAT. A giant among the new Darwin tulips. 
Very large flowers of deep rose-pink and carried on 
strong, erect stems; a real exhibition tulip. Beautiful 
rising from a clump of bleeding hearts. Height, 36 
inches. $3.65 for 10; $34.00 per 100. 
AVALANCHE. Most unusual among the tall tulips on 
account of the immense size of its pure white cups bal¬ 
anced on sturdy stems. Not only is each petal very 
broad and long, but there are eight of them in number 
overlapping generously, instead of the usual six. The 
fine texture of the petals adds to the beauty of this va¬ 
riety. The eight anthers are golden and are raised high 
over the lemon colored base. Planted in front of Rosa 
Hugonis and rising from a drift of Phlox divaricata 
var. Laphami, will create a picture of harmony, re¬ 
leasing pure joy when seen. Its name “Avalanche” in 
its original meaning adequately describes it. Height, 
30 inches. $1.05 for 10; $7.75 per 100. 
BELLE MAUVE. This novelty tulip can be described as 
a greatly improved “Anton Mauve.” Its bloom of gray¬ 
ish mauve is held on an erect stem. Height, 28 inches. 
$4.45 for 10; $42.00 per 100. 
BLUE EAGLE. Deep violet-purple with blue base. A 
large bloom held on tall erect stem. Height, 28 inches. 
$0.80 for 10; $5.25 per 100. See illustration, page 25. 
BLUE PERFECTION. A tulip of great charm with its 
enormous pale hortense-violet flowers. The cups are 
very deep and wide with generously overlapping petals. 
A pleasing color contrast may be obtained by planting 
this variety near Rosa Hugonis with Alyssum saxatile, 
var. citrinum as a ground cover planting. Height, 28 
inches. $1.85 for 10; $16.00 per 100. See illustration, 
page 6. 
BOURGOGNE. A deep wine-red flower of great beauty 
with dark blue center. A wonderful tulip, of immense 
size, graceful and carried on a fine strong stem. Plant 
near other white Darwin tulips with a foreground plant¬ 
ing of Iberis sempervirens. Height, 30 inches. $2.45 
for 10; $22.00 per 100. 
CAROLINE TESTOUT. This very unusual and beautiful 
tulip was named after the well known rose of that 
name. The color of this tulip is even more beautiful, 
a soft rose with a large white base. Of perfect shape 
and it has exceptional lasting qualities. A tulip with a 
great future. Very scarce. Height, 28 inches. $ 4.05 for 
10; $38.00 per 100.
