ROSABELLA. There is hardly a Tulip anywhere to 
match this flower for a certain soft charm. Its color may 
be described as a delicious pink, warm, delicate and 
sweet, as lovely as a pink rosebud, or the colors of a 
sea shell, tender pink with a blush of deeper color suffus- 
ing each petal, and smart black anthers. Makes an en- 
gaging offset with Phlox divaricata and a pale yellow 
intermediate iris. It is difficult to use measured terms as 
one looks at this Tulip and compares it with others. This 
is a flower of ineffable charm. Height 26 inches. $1.45 
for 10; $12.00 per 100. See illustration, page 20. 
VESTA. A superb pale primrose-yellow flower of great 
size and splendid substance, carried on a fine tall stem. 
After a day or two it pales almost to white, but lasts 
long. Fine to plant above pink English daisies. Late 
flowering. Height 30 inches. $1.65 for 10; $14.00 per 
Darwin Tulips 
A vigorous race of self-colored Tulips, distinguished by their strong and tall stems and their shapely flowers. 
To all intents and purposes they are Breeder Tulips. 
They flower simultaneously with the Breeder, Cottage 
and Hybrid Tulips during the month of May, with the exception of far southern sections, where they bloom 
during April. 
The varieties named in our list have been especially selected as being distinct, showy and beautiful. Unsatisfac- 
tory varieties have been eliminated, so that you need have no hesitation in choosing the colors you require, as all 
are good.

rising out of a mass of cheiranthus allionii. Height 29

ness to the brilliant flower. The color holds well in sun- 
shine. Lovely with early mauve and white irises near 
Bechtel’s crabapple. An effective setting may also be
