May 24, 1940. 
/ thought you would be in¬ 
terested in hearing from a 
very satisfied customer here in 
Pennsylvania. My 500 Daffo¬ 
dils made a display that was 
the admiration of the entire 
neighborhood and my keenest 
delight.

A BORDER PLANTING OF TULIPS 
Single Early Tulips 
These tulips flower in April, two or three weeks earlier than 
the other classes and are especially easy to force. Their stems 
do not grow tall, so they are exceedingly fine for bedding and 
for growing in pots indoors. 
Due de Berlin. Red, yellow bordered, early. 3 bulbs 35c, 
$1.00 doz., $7.75 per 100. 
Spring Glory (2). The finest early golden yellow tulip, having 
very large, well shaped, bold flowers on good substantial 
stems. Earliest of yellow tulips. Splendid for both forcing 
and bedding. 3 bulbs 35c, $1.00 doz., $7.75 per 100. 
Parrot Tulips 
Fantasy. (See illustration). The finest Parrot Tulip and one of 
the loveliest tulips grown. Unlike other Parrots, Fantasy has 
a strong stiff stem which holds its large flower upright. It is 
a sport of the Darwin Tulip "Clara Butt" and has the same 
base color, time of flowering and other characteristics. Its 
color is a beautiful clear pink, peculiarly flaked on the out¬ 
side with apple green. The petals are laciniated after the 
manner of Parrot tulips, and the whole flower has a quaint 
and beautiful form. Height 18". 3 bulbs 40c, $1.25 doz., $9.75 
per 100. 
Mixed Parrot Tulips. This is a mixture of the old favorites 
with their striking and attractive flowers, whose stems are 
weak compared with their large and heavy heads. 3 bulbs 
25c, 85c doz., $6.50 per 100. 
Ninety John St., New York, 
Nov. To, 1939. 
1 want to take this opportunity to tell you how much 1 enjoyed my 
City of Haarlem Tulip bulbs last year. I ordered fifty from you and 
they were perfectly beautiful; in fact / was the only one in our neighbor¬ 
hood zvho had real pretty tulips.

Lily Flowering Tulips 
These belong to the Cottage Garden class but because of their 
distinct lily-like flowers are listed separately Their slender 
stems and long curved flowers give a light, airy and graceful 
effect in beds and borders, and surpass in loveliness the Giant 
Flowered for cutting. 
Adonis (2). Long, beautifully shaped flower; vivid rosy red. 
Very erect and gay. Keeps well when used for cut flowers. 
Height 24". 3 bulbs 35c, $1.00 doz., $7.75 per 100. 
Maiden's Blush (3) (Picotee). Flowers large; gracefully re¬ 
curved petals, opening primrose and passing white margined 
rose, very elegent. Height 24". 3 bulbs 25c, 85c doz., $6.50 
per 100. 
Retroflexa (3). Effective on account of its severe and simple 
beauty. The form is particularly impressive; the corolla in 
its lower part fills out roundly and delicately like an urn; 
then is somewhat contracted upward and again curved out¬ 
ward at the point of the three outer and narrower sepals. 
The stem has that slight amount of curvation which redeems 
it from the appearance of formality. A fresh honey-yellow, 
extremely beautiful. Sweetly scented. Height 20". 3 bulbs 
30c, 95c doz., $7.50 per 100. 
Siren (2). Flowers large and open with elegantly reflexing 
petals, glossy rose-pink, shaded at margin silvery-white, 
center clear white. Many charming uses can be found for 
this enchanting flower. Height 26". 3 bulbs 30c, 95c doz., 
$7.50 per 100.
