DIDO 
ORANGE, SCARLET AND RED 
ADVANCE (Extra early). A sensational new tulip. Not 
only does it have a flower larger than any Darwin but it comes 
days ahead of any of the other May flowering or Darwin tulips. 
The inside of the huge blossom is bright scarlet with blackish 
blue base. The outside is red with a deep roseate flush. Not 
more than 12 to a customer. Eacli 35c, 3 for $1.00, 12 for $3.50. 
ARGO (1). Golden yellow slightly marked on the top with 
orange which color spreads and deepens as the flower ages. 
Large cup shaped flowers on strong 28-inch stems. 3 for 35c, 
12 for $1.25. 
GESNERIANA SPATHULATA (Red Rocket) (3). Of all the 
red tulips this is one of the most brilliant. When fully opened 
the rich crimson-scarlet flowers make a spectacular display, 
the effect being enhanced by the deep blue base. The petals 
are long and pointed. (28 in.) 3 for 30c, 12 for $1.10. 
COTTAGE AND THE 
MAY FLOWERING TULIPS 
VV/E feel that we are very fortunate to be able to present such 
™ an extensive list of the Cottage or Mayflowering Tulips. 
It contains a wonderful variety of lovely things—many of them 
our particular favorites in the tulip world. The colors range 
from the most brilliant reds and yellows to soft pastels and 
white. Some of the tallest tulips are here and others that are 
low growing. In form there are cup-shaped, lily flowering, 
vase-shaped and long egg-shaped blooms. Many of the varieties 
have Darwin-like stiff stems while many others like Picotee 
and La Merveille have an especially graceful appearance due 
to their flexible stems. 
For bedding purposes many of the shorter stemmed cottage 
tulips with their bright clear color are superb. 
PINK AND PINK BLENDS 
ADONIS (Lily Flowering) (2). A well colored flower of vivid 
cerise with white base. The long petals are gently reflexed. 
(24-in.) 3 for 30c. 12 for $1.10. 
BARBARA PRATT. One of the most beautiful of the new 
hybrid tulips. Color is a radiant cherry pink that does not fade 
in the sun. The flowers have a charming form with slightly 
reflexing petals. (28-in.) 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.50. 
DIDO (2). Of all the tulips we grow few attract more atten¬ 
tion than this splendid variety. The color is a very appealing 
combination of rich orange-rose with shadings of salmon and 
orange-yellow. The substance is so good that the large flowers 
last unusually long. Good strong stems. (32-in.) 3 for 35c, 
12 for $1.25. 
INGLESCOMBE PINK (2). Soft rosy pink flushed salmon, 
changing to rose when in full bloom. A splendid cut flower. 
Very free flowering. (2-in.) First size bulbs, 12 for 75c, 100 
for $5.50. Top size bulbs, 12 for 90c, 100 for $6.75. 
JOHN RUSKIN (3). One of the most graceful and charming 
of the cottage tulips. Long egg-shaped flower of salmon-rose 
edged soft yellow. Inside shaded rosy-lilac. (18-in.) 12 for $1.00. 
L’INCOMPARABLE (2). A fine large tulip of medium 
height. The large oval blossoms are of a rich shade of orange- 
salmon deepening with age. 3 for 35c, 12 for $1.25. 
MARCELLINA (Lily flowering) (2). A beautiful pink tulip 
of the true lily form—the pointed petals flaring outward in an 
attractive manner. Bright carmine rose with white base and 
yellow anthers. (28-in.) 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.40. 
GRENADIER (2). Because of its brilliant red color and low habit of growth 
this is a superb tulip for bedding purposes. The very large flowers are a dazzling 
orange-scarlet with yellow base. The Single Early Tulips which are so much 
used for bedding will be very scarce this year and we recommend Grenadier in 
their place. Top size bulbs, 12 for $1.00, 100 for $7.50. First size bulbs (will make 
fine large blooms), 12 for 80c, 100 for $6.00. 
INGLESCOMBE SCARLET (3). The planting of this variety is one of the 
brightest spots in our tulip fields. It always attracts attention. The long pointed 
flowers are brilliant scarlet with a black base. (24-in.) 12 for $1.00, 100 for $7.50. 
LA MERVEILLE (4). Orange-scarlet flushed rose with yellow base. Large 
flower of beautiful long shape. Delightfully fragrant. (20-in.) First size bulbs, 
12 for 75c, 100 for $5.50. Top size bulbs, 12 for 90c, 100 for $6.75. 
MAYFLOWER (1). This and Advance form a pair of the largest and finest 
tulips in existence. Very early but about a week later than Advance. Bright old 
rose with scarlet flush, blue center. Each 50c. 3 for $1.40. 
ORANGE KING (3). Glistening deep orange shaded rose with yellow base. 
Large globular flower. Sweet scented. (23-in.) First size bulbs, 12 for 75c, 100 for 
$5.50. Top size bulbs, 12 for 90c, 100 for $6.75. 
PRESIDENT HOOVER (4). A splendid new variety that attracts immediate 
attention. Bright orange-red—a color not too common in tulips. A large flower 
on a strong tall stem. 3 for 45c, 12 for $1.60. 
The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 indicate relative time of flowering, those numbered 
<1) being the earliest. The other numbers in parentheses denote height.
