KATHLEEN PARLOW. An exceptionally fine new Dar¬ 
win of such unusual coloring that it draws immediate 
attention in the border. The large, beautifully shaped 
flower is of a silvery rose with a white center; it is car¬ 
ried on a strong tall stem and has all the qualities to 
make it one of the most refined tulips so far introduced. 
Height, 30 inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100. 
KINS GEORGE V. A dazzling, cherry-rose tulip of 
great size and noble carriage; one of the finest intro¬ 
ductions and a most telling color in the garden. The 
cup is graciously modeled and deep, and the Jacquem¬ 
inot shadows at the base of the petals lend an exquisite 
softness to the brilliant flower. The color holds well in 
sunshine. Lovely with early mauve and white irises 
near Bechtel’s crabapple. An effective setting may also 
be had by planting a mass of this among myosotis or 
Cheiranthus allioni. Height, 30 inches. $0.90 for 10; 
$6.50 per 100. See illustration, page 13. 
KING MAUVE. Graceful, cup-shaped blooms of pale 
lilac, blazed with bishop’s purple, the purple of the 
inner petals are edged with wisteria-blue which blends 
into a cream-white base. The flowers hold their color 
and form, and when opening in maturity, the velvety 
black anthers appear, giving accent and character. The 
blue of Scilla campanulata var. Excelsior is of the 
same shade as the blue of the base and this variety would 
look well rising from a mass of blue, white and pink 
scilla with a background of lilac, “Miss Wilmott.” 
Height, 30 inches. $1.15 for 10; $9.00 per 100. 
LADY CHAMBERLIN. A most charming Tulip of soft 
lilac-mauve; edges are slightly lighter. Flowers of ex¬ 
cellent substance held on strong stiff stems. Height, 30 
inches. $1.15 for 10; $9.00 per 100. 
LADY HILLINGDON. A most outstanding and beauti¬ 
ful Tulip. The flowers hold their shape well and are 
carried on firm erect stems. The prevailing color is a 
clear geranium-pink, marvelously suffused with rose- 
purple with the edge of the inner petals of bittersweet- 
orange, giving the effect of a glow from within. The 
base and anthers are a light cadmium-yellow. Combines 
well with aubrietia var. “Dr. Mule,” the silvery foliage 
of Artemisia frigida and the darker toned Darwin tulip 
“Pride of Zwanenburg.” Height, 28 inches. $2.05 for 
10; $18.00 per 100. 
LA FIANCEE. A most beautiful and distinct pink tulip 
with a blue base. Plant near purple barberry or purple 
plum, with camassias and bleeding hearts. This large 
and handsome tulip which is so splendid for mass 
effects, for groups and for exhibition purposes, has been 
much in demand. Height, 32 inches. $0.85 for 10; $5.75 
per 100. See illustration, page 12. 
LA FRANCE. A very lovely novelty that has been 
greatly admired at recent flower shows. Beautifully 
formed large flower, held erect on a tall stem. Of a very 
delicate pink, resembling in color the rose of this name, 
with a pure white base. Lovely rising from a clump of 
Phlox divaricata var. Laphami. Height, 28 inches. 
$1.00 for 10; $7.50 per 100. See illustration, page 20. 
LA TOSCA. The large flower, almost globular in shape 
opens a pinard-yellow on outside with a picric-yellow 
interior, and the three inner petals occasionally shaded 
with grenadine-pink. The mature flowers shade into a 
seafoam-yellow with jet black anthers. Charming with 
Phlox divaricata var. Laphami or the blue Scilla cam¬ 
panulata and planted beneath Styrax japonica. Height, 
28 inches. $1.95 for 10; $17.00 per 100. 
LA TULIPE NOIRE. Known as the “Black Tulip.” The 
darkest of all tulips. A very large, rich, velvety, black¬ 
ish maroon flower. Height, 28 inches. $0.80 for 10; 
$5.25 per 100. 
LILAC WONDER. One of the finest varieties in the en¬ 
tire collection. Enormous flower of a bright porcelain 
with a white base; a most unusual shade in tulips. 
Of great substance, possessing unusual keeping quali¬ 
ties. Height, 30 inches. $0.90 for 10; $6.50 per 100. 
LOVE DREAM. A very beautiful tulip of soft rose-pink, 
edged light rose on the outside of the petals, with a light 
rose interior. A large flower which is carried on a fine 
stem. This variety is possibly the best of the soft pink 
tulips. Height, 28 inches. $1.30 for 10; $10.25 per 100. 
MADAME BUTTERFLY. A tall and stately exhibition 
tulip. The large flowers are egg-shaped and of pale 
mauve, the middle of the exterior petals shaded with 
Chinese violet, deepening in the center of the flower to 
Matthew’s purple. Small white base and black anthers. 
Associate with Hybrid tulip “Mr. Van Zyl” and Darwin 
tulip “La France” rising from drifts of Phlox divari¬ 
cata var. Laphami and in front of tall bleeding hearts. 
Height, 30 inches. $1.15 for 10; $9.00 per 100. 
MARGAUX. A tremendous flower of deep wine-red, 
broadly edged with a lighter shading of wine-red and a 
blue base. The flower is carried on a strong stiff stem. 
A tulip of great size and beauty that will present a most 
admirable picture rising from a clump of Iberis semper- 
virens and planted near such white Darwin tulips as 
“Glacier.” Height, 30 inches. $1.15 for 10; $9.00 per 
100 . 
MARSHALL HAIG. Possibly the most vivid of the red 
Darwins, the broad oval petals of brick-red deepening 
on the exterior to carmine and showing a broad base 
of deep chrome. The color of the base is visible from 
the outside and gives the entire flower a most luminous 
effect. Plant with Vinca minor as ground cover and use 
only as an accent color. Height, 32 inches. $2.25 for 
10; $20.00 per 100. See illustration, page 11.
