DOUBLE TULIPS 
Because of their showy masses of bloom, the 
Double Tulips are valuable for mass effects in 
the garden as well as being important forcing 
bulbs. They bloom just after the Single Early 
Tulips, thereby helping to bridge the gap be¬ 
tween the April- and May-blooming varieties. 
Orange l\assau. Orange-scarlet, outer petals 
shaded cherry-red. $1.35 per doz.; $10.00 per 100

white becoming carmine with age. 
$1.35 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 
MENDEL TULIPS 
A new group developed by crossing Due van 
Thol and Darwin Tulips. Outdoors they bloom 
but very little later than the Single Earlies and 
are excellent for forcing. 
Fabiola. 24 in. Blooms of intense carmine-red 
flushed with yellow. A superb early forcing variety. 
$1.35 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 
Gain Curci. 22 in. A gorgeous shade of rich 
rose-red narrowly margined white. Inside, soft salmon-

is a handsome sight. $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100 
Scarlet Admiral. 25 in. Luminous vermilion- 
red, that intensely brilliant coloring of the wild cardinal. 
With its contrasting black base this Tulip is outstand¬ 
ing in the garden. A sturdy grower and a fine January 
forcer. $1.35 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 
TRIUMPH TULIPS 
A new early strain resulting from the cross¬ 
hybridization of Darwin and Single Early Tulips. 
Triumph Tulips are large-flowered, strong¬ 
stemmed, and grow from 18 to 26 inches high. 
The flowers resemble Darwins but they bloom at 
least a week earlier. In the opinion of many 
they are destined to eventually supplant the 
smaller-flowered and less rugged Single Early 
group. All are splendid for February forcing. 
Flora. 26 in. Deep rose-buff melting into apricot- 
orange, inside coppery red. This splendid Tulip re¬ 
sembles a Breeder in both color and form of flower. 
$1.35 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 
Johanna. 22 in. Lovely clear salmon-rose, 
shading lighter toward the base. A fine example of the 
clear tone in the Triumph Tulips. An exceptionally 
attractive color. $1.35 per doz,; $10.00 per 100 
TeleSCOpium. 22 in. Lovely rose-violet; in¬ 
side white with olive stamens. When forced it is deep 
lavender-pink. $1.35 per doz.; $10.00 per 100

colors so characteristic of this new class. 
$1.20 per doz.; $9.00 per 100 
TULIP SPECIES 
Comparatively few people realize the beauty 
of the wild Tulips of the world, or the satisfaction 
to be derived from growing even a few varieties. 
Although some of them are the ancestors of our 
modern Tulips, there is no comparison—the 
species appeal to us in a different way. 
Tulipa Clusiana. Lady Tulip. A rather late- 
flowering species. Narrow white flowers an inch or so long, 
striped with reddish purple and marked with a purplish 
blue eye. A lovely rock-garden variety, but needs 
shelter and must be planted deep. 
$1.45 per doz.; $11.00 per 100 
T. Eichleri. A robust plant about 11 inches 
high bearing giant scarlet-crimson flowers with an 
intense glittering black center narrowly edged yellow. 
Blooms very early and makes a dazzling spot of color. 
Plant in clumps against a background of evergreens. 
$1.35 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 
T. Kaujmanniana. About 12 inches high. 
Narrow-leaved variety producing creamy white flowers 
with deep golden yellow centers, stained with pink 
on the outside, very early in the season. This is 
a very permanent variety if planted deep in well- 
drained soil, and, in the course of a few years, will 
make a fine handsome clump. Sometimes called the 
Water Lily Tulip. $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100
