LA TULIPE NOIRE (See page 12) 
SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
Long before the Darwin, Cottage and Breeder tulips are in 
blossom the single early varieties surprise one with their 
bright and cheerful color which often shows almost as soon 
as the buds are out of the ground. They have long been very 
popular for bedding and pot culture, as the flowers are large 
and the stems short and strong. Many of the Cottage or May¬ 
flowering tulips also may be used for bedding. We especially 
recommend Grenadier for this purpose. 
COLEUR CARDINAL. A warm crimson tulip with a plum 
colored bloom on the outer petals. A fine substantial flower 
on a strong stem. One of the best for bedding. (13-in.) 3 for 30c, 
12 for SI.10. 
FRED MOORE. Deep ruddy apricot shading to orange 
yellow at the edges of the petals. A lovely sweet scented 
flower that is splendid for cutting. (16-in.) 3 for 30c, 12 for 
si.io. 
MIXED EARLY TULIPS. A special mixture made up from 
excellent varieties in a good assortment of colors. 12 for 90c, 
100 for $6.75. 
Collection of Single Early Tulips 
We have excellent bulbs of a considerable number of vari¬ 
eties of the single early tulips but unfortunately the quan¬ 
tities are not sufficient to justify listing them separately. They 
are being offered here in an excellent collection. Five splendid 
sorts in a wide range of attractive coloring, each variety 
bagged and labeled separately. 
6 each (30 bulbs) for. $2.40 
12 each (60 bulbs) for. 4.50

Conley's Rainbow Tulip Mixture 
If you do not care about the names of tulip varieties but do 
want good sorts for a mixed bed or for cutting, we think that 
you will be delighted with this mixture. Its marvelous color¬ 
ings are really rainbow-like—red, pink, lavender, purple, violet, 
orange, bronze, yellow and white. Where but in the tulips can 
one find such a complete array of beautiful color? Choice 
varieties of the Darwin, Breeder and Cottage or Mayflowering 
groups make up our Rainbow Mixture. This is one of our 
largest selling items and we try to make it just as good as 
possible. From the many splendid reports received we think 
we have been quite successful. 
Top size bulbs, 15 for $1.00, 50 for $3.10, 100 for $6.00, 250 for 
$14.00. 
First size bulbs (just a little smaller but will make flowers 
practically as large as top size), 20 for $1.00, 50 for $2.40, 100 
for $4.50, 250 for $10.75. 
HYACINTHS 
The demand for hyacinths was so heavy last year that our supply for this fall is 
extremely limited. It takes years for a hyacinth bulb to grow to saleable size and 
there will be no large quantity of hyacinths available in this country as long as the war 
continues. However, we do have some excellent bulbs of a good list of varieties. These 
bulbs would be splendid either for pot culture or garden planting. For either of these 
purposes it is not necessary to use the largest size bulbs, in fact the spikes from the 
bedding size bulbs are often the more graceful. 
These bulbs are available as long as they last in the following colors: Light Blue, 
Dark Blue, Pink, White, and Mixed. 
Separate colors, named as to variety. Large size bulbs, 40c each, 3 for $1.15. Medium 
or bedding size, 30c each, 3 for 85c, 12 for $3.30. 
Mixed Hyacinths. A splendid mixture made up from named varieties in a wide 
range of color. Large size bulbs, 3 for $1.10, 12 for $4.25. Medium or bedding size, 
3 for 80c, 12 for $3.10. 
CROCUSES 
The flowering of the first crocuses is always an important event in the early spring. 
The yellow ones especially, have a way of popping out all unexpectedly when the sun 
comes out for a few brief hours. The flowers have so much color and are produced so 
lavishly that it is no wonder that this is the most beloved of the early spring flowers. 
Every garden no matter how small, should have a space for crocuses. NO BULBS 
AFTER NOVEMBER 10th. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW. This is the most popular of all crocuses. The large golden 
yellow blossoms are produced in great abundance early in the crocus season. Largest 
size bulbs, 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.50. Good blooming size, 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00. 
PURPUREA GRANDIFLORA. Deep glossy purple. Extra large flowers of unusual 
lasting quality. This splendid variety always commands a premium over other sorts. 
12 for 75c.

splendid named varieties in a wide color range. Largest size bulbs, 12 for 60c, 100 for
