TULIPS 
I will have a few Tulips this year as my planting is getting too large and they will 
all be my own growing except Fosteriana Lefeber (a common name is Red Emperor but 
as there are two by that name, I will use the true name). Those who have seen my 
_ gardens know what it means to say I grow them. They know that it means the absolute 
best in results to you. I will plant all not sold immediately after September 25, so your 
order must be in before that if you want my bulbs. 
I must caution you that tulips must be large top size bulbs, as to the grower they 
produce according to the weight planted and this means that many firms selling smaller 
bulbs are not giving you your moneys worth, so if size is not stated, ‘be wary.” 
All bulbs I will ship will be top size in addition to the extra push I put in all bulbs

These varieties are picked with my usual care and represent the top varieties of 
tulips in their colors and type. “ 
All tulips, postpaid price, $1.75 per Doz. Except Fosteriana Lefeber. No order ac 
cepted for less than a dozen tulips. 
' CITY OF HAARLEM, Darwin—Very strong, tall and has a waxy sheen over its rich, 
deep scarlet. It is of very large size, and in addition to this is the longest lasting of 
all the tulips I know. It is also an early bloomer. I found that from most sources it 
was badly mixed with other inferior red tulips that did not have the lasting ability 
of this tulip, so it took me years to get a stock of true City of Haarlem. 
DIDO, Cottage—This is, in my estimation, the finest of all salmon flame tulips in ad- 
dition to being tall and early. Pointed petals and very fragrant, this is the richest of 
all the tulips blooming at this time. 
BLUE EAGLE, Darwin—Gigantic deep violet blue cups on very long stems. 
MRS. MOON, Cottage—This is beyond doubt the most popular of all yellow tulips 
because of its elegant pointed lily form and is very fragrant, too. In addition to all 
this it is very tall and graceful. 
MR. WENTHOLDT—One of the Deepest Yellow Tulips. A little shorter than Mrs. 
Moon. Petals alternately round and pointed. 3 
GLACIER, Darwin—This white tulip grows to tremendous size and does not have the 
fault of many as it has light colored stamens. This to me is very important as I do 
not like to look into a tulip and see it looking dirty from dark or black pollen. In 
addition to these good habits it is very tall and early too. 
MRS. JOHN SCHEEPERS—This is one of the most gigantic of all tulips and is yellow 
too; also has yellow stamens. It is a light canary yellow. Not as tall as some but it 
was about 26 inches for me. I rate this as the finest yellow tulip even though Mrs. 
Moon is fragrant. 
ADVANCE—This is really an advance as it blooms about the time of the little dwarf 
early ones and in addition to this gets to be about 22 inches tall with flowers as large 
as the most gigantic Darwin. In color it is called scarlet orange by the Dutch but 
with me has always been a deep salmon. 
FOSTERIANA, MME. LEFEBER—This is about the most brilliant scarlet of anything 
that grows, and coming so early in the season it is really sensational as it is even 
earlier than the dwarf early tulips. The flowers are lily shaped and up to nine inches 
across and on stems about ten or twelve inches tall. Dozene.i.....2..2..cc--cecceoceeceeee $2.50
