OLDS’ NEW SKYROCKET COLLECTION OF GIANT 
BRILLIANT COLORED TULIPS 
SIXTEEN VARIETIES 
32 largest sized bulbs, $2.76, postpaid. 
The Darwin, Breeder and Cottage Tulips all bloom about the same 
time and are about the same height. We have made up a new Sky¬ 
rocket Collection of the best and most popular varieties of these 
three classes of Tulips. Each variety in the collection will be sep¬ 
arately wrapped, packed and labeled, and the price quoted is postpaid 
to your address. 
The bulbs used for this collection are not taken from second grade 
bulbs, but are from our regular large sized stock, the same as used 
in the filling of all orders. The collection includes practically every 
color to be found in Tulips. We call it the Skyrocket Tulip Collec¬ 
tion because all varieties are tall growers and richly colored. Brief 
descriptions of each variety will be found in this catalog. We 
reserve the right to substitute on a variety because of the short 
supply of bulbs this season. Two bulbs each of the varieties listed 
below are used in making up this collection; 
Afterglow. Deep orange suffused with salmon. 
Clara Butt. The true pink. 
Dream. Lilac-blue. 
Farncombe Sanders. Fiery scarlet. 
Princess Elizabetli. Rose. 
Pride of Haarlem. Bright rose suffused with purple. 
Yellow Giant. Golden yellow. 
White Bartigon. A white Darwin. 
Wm. Pitt. Brilliant scarlet. 
Philippe De Commines. Velvety maroon black. 
Inglescombe Pink. Salmon-rose.

scarlet.

Please Note: Due to the war conditions in 
Europe, we are unable to supply Early Double, 
Triumph, Parrot, Botanical or Wild, and Rem¬ 
brandt Tulips. We are fortunate in having 
Single Early, Cottage, and Darwin Tulips as 
well as the Breeder Tulips. We suggest the 
Darwins as being the most popular and best 
for outdoor and indoor forcing.
