Cottage and Hybrid Tulips 
LONG STEMS, GRACEFUL IN HABIT 
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. 
Plant 6 inches deep and not less than 5 inches apart. In planting in clumps, set the bulbs about 3 inches apart. 
To insure proper drainage, sand, to the depth of an inch, should be put underneath the bulb. 
ADVANCE. Truly a remarkable Tulip, the result of a 
cross between Gesneriana Spathulata and the Botanical 
Tulip “Greigi.” One of the largest flowers seen in Tulips, 
reminding one when fully opened of an Oriental Poppy. 
The color is difficult to describe, a fiery red with a blue 
base. One of the earliest of the May-Flowering Tulips. 
Height 30 inches. $1.25 for 10; $10.00 per 100. 
BARBARA PRATT. One of the most remarkably beauti- 
ful and brilliant Tulips of recent introduction. The color 
is a most radiant cherry-pink with an extraordinary effect 
of golden light shining through it. The flower is long 
and exquisitely modeled and gives forth a delicious fra- 
grance. It does not fade in the sun and lasts in perfection 
for a much longer period than most Tulips. A luminous 
and beautiful flower, worthy of a fine name, undoubtedly 
destined for a great future. Height 36 inches. $1.45 for 
10; $12.00 per 100. 
BELLE JAUNE. One of the most beautiful of the deep 
yellow Tulips. Very fine egg-shaped flower of deep 
golden yellow with a bright yellow interior, a light base 
and yellow anthers, and carried on a strong, erect stem. 
A planting of this Tulip in front of Lilac “Katherine 
Havemeyer” will create an unforgettable picture. Very 
scarce. Height 34 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 100. 
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 deli- 
cate flower. It has been extremely scarce, now available 
at a more reasonable price. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100.

CONDE NAST. An outstanding novelty of great charm. 
A seedling of the well known hybrid Tulip, “Mrs. F. E. 
Dixon,” it is similar in habit of growth, shape of flower, 
strength of stem and lasting qualities of flower. In color 
it is a light yellow, overlaid orange on the outside of the 
petals. Height 30 inches. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. 
See illustration, page 22. 
DIDO. Here is a perfect flower, bewitching in its lovell- 
ness. Unspeakably glorious in its extraordinarily lumin- 
ous 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 mag- 
nificent 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 15. 
GEISHA. A most attractive Tulip. Flowers are very 
large, of soft grayish lilac on the outside with a delicate 
bright purplish violet on inside. Height 26 inches. $1.40 
for 10; $11.50 per 100. |
