Cottage and Hybrid Tulips 
“This old world seems young once more.” 
Cottage Tulips are varieties which have been found, for the most part, sequestered in the old cottage gardens 
of the British Isles. Hybrid Tulips are the results of crosses between the Cottage, Breeder and Darwin Tulips. 
They flower approximately at the same time as the Breeder and Darwin Tulips, during the month of May, with 
exception of the far southern section, where they bloom in April. They are often marked by long, rather pointed 
petals and thin, wiry stems. 
All the Tulips offered in our list are beautiful, presenting a great variety in form and coloring. They are prized 
for cutting because of their long stems and graceful habit, and are especially adaptable for permanent hardy flower 
borders where they should be freely planted in large clumps and in masses. 
ARGO. While the flower is not large it stands out 
amongst all others for its beautiful color. It is a deep 
golden, yet very soft shade of pale yellow, slightly 
penciled towards the top edge with orange, which deep- 
ens as the flower ages. Height 23 inches. $1.35 for 10; 
$11.00 per 100. 
L-AVIS KENNICOTT. Very large, chrome-yellow flower 
with striking black base and anthers. Sometimes appears 
without this black base. Effective grown near iris 
“Kochii,” planted among blue myosotis or mertensia 
virginica, or have them rise in quantity from a solid bed 
of white pansies or arabis, the long flower held up 
straight on a strong stem. Height 27 inches. $1.25 for 
10; $10.00 per 100. See illustration, page 21. 
2-CARRARA. This is a fair pale Tulip, which has already 
created, by its beauty, a sensation at the great flower 
shows. It is as round as the breast of a swan; as purely 
white as the marble from which it takes its name, and is 
in all ways an enchanting Tulip. A most entrancing and 
delicate flower. Height 27 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 
per 100. See illustration, page 24. 
| DIDO. Here is a perfect flower, bewitching in its love- 
liness. Unspeakably glorious in its extraordinary lumi- 
nous light effects and its long and slender form, poised 
firmly at the top of its tall straight stem, it must strike 
everyone as among the wonders of the world of Tulips. 
Its color is deep rich pink or light jasper-red, with Lam- 
bert topaz lights and amber edges to the petals, the base 
and anthers, pale corn-yellow. A lovely ensemble and 
warmly fragrant. It has no peer as an unusually magni- 
ficent Tulip, the sweet fragrance adding much to the 
value of the flower. Where a bright color effect is needed 
it is superb. Height 32 inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 
100. See illustration, page 21. 
L—GRENADIER. Among the Cottage Tulips there is none 
so bright as this. The British soldier’s tunic is not more 
brilliant than this enormous flower whose yellow base 
and deep violet anthers make its inner aspect interesting 
as well as its outer. The flower head must be four inches 
tall at least; the inner color as dazzling as scarlet can be. 
It would be spectacular in a planting of young Japanese 
Maples of dark hues. Height 21 inches. $1.25 for 10; 
$10.00 per 100. 
HAMMER HALES. Very long flower; remarkable blend- 
ing of bronze, old rose, apricot, and fawn. Beautiful 
flower of marked distinction. Height 24 inches. $1.25 for 
10; $10.00 per 100. 
INGLESCOMBE PINK. While not a new Tulip, this is, 
and always will be, a favorite variety for its beautiful 
warm pink flushed with amber, and its fine rather short 
cup. It is a perfect flower to grow above forget-me-nots. 
Its popularity has always been great. Height 24 inches. 
$1.25 for 10; $10.00 per 100. 
L-1NGLESCOMBE YELLOW. Perfectly formed, beautiful 
[19] 
flower, carried on a sturdy stem. Very good canary- 
yellow; occasionally shows a crimson edge. Plant with 
forget-me-nots or among sky-blue flax. Height 21 inches. 
$1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100. 
JEANNE DESOR. This very beautifully formed hybrid 
is the result of a cross between Darwin and Cottage 
Tulips. A long, large flower much resmbling the Dar- 
win type, is carried erect on a strong, tall stem. The 
The color is very striking, being of a deep orange-yellow 
with a broad border of scarlet toward the edges of the 
petals. A late bloomer, it has increasing value as a 
novelty that should be carefully considered when add- 
ing to your collection for the border. Height 28 inches. 
$1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. See illustration, page 24. 
MISS BLANCHE. A very fine pure white Tulip, large 
well formed bloom carried on strong tall stem. This 
variety was effectively used by us in our recent Tulip 
Garden exhibits and was very much admired. It is 
strongly recommended for large mass effects. Height 26 
inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
MISS ELLEN WILLMOTT. A beautiful and distinct light 
yellow Tulip with reflexing petals; deliciously fragrant. 
Effective when grown against a background of grey lyme 
grass. Height 18 inches. $1.25 for 10; $10.00 per 100. 
MRS. F. E. DIXON. This very beautiful Tulip makes a 
deep impression upon all who see it. Of immense size, 
yet artistic in the extreme, lovely in form, the softly 
colored, sulphury yellow bloom is carried upright on 
strong, stiff stem. The petals have a waxlike texture and 
are of a substance rarely met with. A beautiful picture 
might be made by planting this beauty among forget-me- 
nots or with light blue and white pansies or with a back- 
ground of lilac “President Fallieres.” Many happy com- 
binations may be made with this wonderful Tulip. Very 
late. Height 28 inches. $2.25 for 10; $20.00 per 100.

tiful vase-shaped flowers, carried on sturdy stems. Splen- 
did among the rich purple Irises of the Germanica sec- 
tion. Height 25 inches. $1.65 for 10; $14.00 per 100.
