GRISILDE. A most beautiful Tulip difficult to describe. 
The ground color in this Tulip is cream-white, delicately 
reticulated with rose-purple, the color varying in depth in 
individual blooms and also in the amount of the surface 
suffused. Very large flower and carried on a fine, strong 
stem. Perfect, if planted in front of purple Lilacs and 
rising from a ground cover of Nepeta Mussini. An excel- 
lent exhibition Tulip. Height 30 inches. $1.55 for 10; 
$13.00 per 100. 
G. W. LEAK. A charming cup-shaped flower, the outer 
petals slightly flared, showing the influence of the Cottage 
Tulip blood. The color is amazing, a pure spectrum-red 
with a scarlet interior. The anthers are apricot-yellow 
with a light yellow base that reflects slightly on the out- 
side of the petals. Picture this Tulip rising from the sil- 
very Artemisia frigida and amidst drifts of Hybrid 
Tulip “Vesta.” Height 29 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 
per 100. 
JANE ALDRED. A very beautiful introduction. Flowers 
of great size of a uniform creamy yellow, egg-shaped with 
anthers of deep bluish gray-green and a slight touch of 
the same color at the base. A stately Tulip, one of the 
finest of the light yellows, outstandingly lovely rising 
from a mass of Forget-me-nots. Height 34 inches. $1.45 
for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
LEMON QUEEN. A splendid Tulip of fine form and sub- 
stance. Strong and vigorous grower. In color it is a pure 
soft yellow. Height 28 inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 
100. 
MARJORIE BOWEN. This extraordinary variety dis- 
plays unusual coloring. The beautifully formed flower, 
which is large and carried on a strong, tall stem, is of a 
shade of buff and salmon which passes into deep rose- 
pink with salmon shades; the center is white. Its best use 
is with Forget-me-nots near, though in any spot where 
the Myrtle’s lavender-blue flowers abound, this Tulip 
would be charming rising from among them. Height 26 
inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100. 
MIMOSA. A _ beautiful Tulip. Strong and vigorous 
grower. Its color is somewhat difficult to describe. The 
basic color is cream-yellow with light brownish red mark- 
ings running through the center of each petal. Base is 
dark blue with prominent anthers. Interesting when 
planted in combination with Tulips of red and or- 
ange tones. Height 28 inches. $1.60 for 10; $13.50 
per 100. 
MONGOLIA. This we consider one of the best of the 
recent introductions; it is one of the largest deep yellow 
varieties in existence. The flowers are egg-shaped, of 
great substance and carried on tall, strong stems. While 
the yellow color of this beauty is rather deep, it has a 
tone of softness, making it extremely desirable. Indeed 
an outstanding variety. Plant in combination with 
Breeder Tulips “Bronze Queen” and “Louis XIV” with 
bronze and purple Pansies as ground cover. Height 32 
inches. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. See illustration, 
page 15. 
MRS. JOHN T. SCHEEPERS. Upon the occasion of the 
great International Flower Show at Bloemendaal, Hol- 
land, the most beautiful Tulip produced by Messrs. C. G. 
van Tubergen, Ltd., was presented to Mrs. John T. 
Scheepers by Mr. Hoog of that firm and named in her 
honor. The first impression one gets from this Tulip is 
its majestic beauty. Elegantly formed, oval-shaped, large 
flowers of deep golden yellow, very clear of color, are 
carried on tall, thick, sturdy stems with clear green foli- 
age that in itself commands immediate attention. The 
entire plant is of the strongest development. The blooms 
are enormous with fleshy, wholesome petals, of unsur- 
passed substance and of fine lasting quality. A real giant 
among Tulips. This magnificent variety is recognized by 
experts as the choicest yellow Tulip for garden decora- 
tion, one that especially suits the American climate. 
Height 30 inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100. See illus- 
tration, page 5. 
ORANGE OPHELIA. Terra cotta, outside salmon-orange. 
A very outstanding Tulip which will give a very colorful 
effect to your group, especially planted with purples like 
Barcarolle or Cardinal Manning. Fine strong stems. 
Height 31 inches. $2.15 for 10; $19.00 per 100. 
PALLIETER. A very tall and stately Tulip of pure cad- 
mium-yellow, overlaid with a pansy-orange flush. Very 
attractive and unusual. Height 40 inches. $1.45 for 10; 
$12.00 per 100. See illustration, page 19. 
ROSABELLA. There is hardly a Tulip anywhere to match 
this flower for a certain soft charm. Its color may be de- 
scribed as a delicious pink, warm, delicate and sweet, as 
lovely as a pink rosebud, or the colors of a seashell, 
tender pink with a blush of deeper color suffusing each 
petal, and smart black anthers. Not so tall as some of its 
enterprising contemporaries, yet it carries itself nicely on 
a stem of twenty inches or so, and would give particular 
grace and beauty to a spot where taller and smaller 
Forget-me-nots spread themselves below. 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. “Rosabella” should not 
be grown near any other Tulip. It should have a spot of 
its own, a place given to its own loveliness. One of the 
most desirable Tulips both in the garden and for cutting, 
with a fine fragrance. Height 27 inches. $1.35 for 10; 
$11.00 per 100. See illustration, page 4.
