Border Collection of May-Howering Tulips 
BREEDER, COTTAGE, DARWIN VARIETIES 
The use of Tulips in formal gardens is becoming more and more noticeable in recent years. In the garden 
featured Tulips have been used for many years for the effective display in May. As the picture shows, the 
varieties are grouped in irregular fashion, and the use of pansies in front of the Tulips adds considerably to 
the effectiveness of the planting during Maytime. Both Tulips and pansies are removed in June and replaced 
with summer-blooming annuals or bedding plants. 
Striking effects can be obtained by the planting in clumps of 10, 25, or 50 each, as best suits the area and 
the taste of the gardener. Much is heard of proper color schemes, but we believe each mdividual should select 
the order and contrasting of colors which suits his or her particular garden. The color scheme illustrated can 
be obtained by planting the following varieties: Pride of Haarlem, Clara Butt, Le Notre, William Pitt, 
Inglescombe Yellow, Farncombe Sanders, The Sultan, Princess Elizabeth, Carrara, Bronze Queen.

TRIUMPH TULIPS 
Triumph Tulips are crosses between the 
April-blooming Single Early Tulips and the 
Darwin Tulips. They have retained the brilliance 
of color that exists in the Early Tulips but have 
obtained the same size that exists among the 
best exhibition Darwins. They bloom approxi- 
mately, when planted in the same location, 
about ten days before the Darwins. They are 
excellent for clumping in the shrubbery border, 
frequently blooming with the daffodils when the 
season is late. We have listed twelve distinct 
varieties.

with tiny edge of yellow which changes with

for forcing. 90 cts. for 10; $8.00 per 100
