MARSHALL HAIG. Possibly the most vivid of the red 
Darwins, the broad oval petals of brick-red deepening 
on the exterior to carmine and showing a broad base of 
deep chrome. The color of the base is visible from the 
outside and gives the entire flower a most luminous effect. 
Plant with Vinca minor as ground cover and use only as 
an accent color. Height 32 inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 
per 100. See illustration, page 8. 
MR. FARNCOMBE SANDERS. A vivid rose-scarlet flow- 
er of superb form and great size. Splendid for distant 
effects against evergreens; one of the very best for bor- 
ders. Height 32 inches. $1.30 for 10; $10.50 per 100. 
MR. VAN ZYL. A new Darwin Tulip that has been very 
much admired. Glorious dark rosy pink with border 
somewhat paler. Large flower of excellent substance. 
Height 30 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100. See 
illustration, page 9. 
MRS. HAROLD IRVING PRATT. In this superb Tulip 
there is an amazing blend of soft rose and beige with 
rich fuchsia lights and wood-brown shadows, with a slight 
tinting of bronzy yellow at the extreme edges of the 
petals. Its base is yellow with dusky anthers. It is a 
proudly carried flower of richly opulent curves. Of great 
size, rounding cup with a slight suggestion of reflexing 
of the outer petals. One of the most entrancing color 
combinations ever seen in any Tulip. It is one of the most 
arresting Tulips of recent introduction. The whole flow- 
er, whether seen from near or far, creates a sensation in 
the mind of the lover of Tulips, and of curiosity and 
admiration in the mind of the casual observer. It is seen 
at its best against the dark surfaces of Yew or Box, and, 
if it must have companions, the delicate gray feathers of 
Artemisia and a few clumps of Violas will not detract 
from its beauty. An early pale lavender Iris would form 
a perfect companion for this Tulip. The late Scilla cam- 
panulata var. “Excelsior,” clustered about its base might 
enhance the effect, or Meriensia would also be a delightful 
flower near this one. A pale yellow Cottage or Hybrid 
Tulip or a dark chestnut colored Breeder also could 
properly stand near it. Height 34 inches. $1.55 for 10; 
$13.00 per 100. 
NIPHETOS. A glorious ivory-yellow flower considerably 
darker at opening, paling to a pale ivory-yellow when 
fully developed. The interior of the flower is somewhat 
stronger in color, with a lighter base and yellow anthers. 
Of very graceful form, the petals have a remarkable tex- , 
ture and possess long-lasting qualities. The large flowers 
are carried on fine stems. Possibly the best Tulip in its 
color class and one of the most beautiful. Very scarce. 
Height 30 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 100. 
PINK DELIGHT. A most beautiful and distinct pink 
Tulip with a blue base. Plant near a purple Plum with 
Camassias and Bleeding Hearts for finest effect. Large 
and handsome Tulip for groups and splendid for mass 
effect. Height 32 inches. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100.

PRIDE OF HAARLEM. An old, but very fine Tulip. Of 
brilliant rosy carmine with blue base. Very large flower 
of superb form borne on a tall, strong stem. Height 30 
inches. $1.30 for 10: $10.50 per 100. 
PRIDE OF ZWANENBURG. A most beautiful Tulip. 
greatly admired by everyone who visited the great Inter- 
national Flower Show, “Flora” at Heemstede, Holland, 
in 1935. It is best described as spinel-pink, suffused with 
rose-red, lightening towards the margin with white base 
and bluish black anthers. Lovely under a Double-Flow- 
ering Peach near the beautiful white Lily-flowering Tulip, 
“White Cross.” Very outstanding, tall, strong growing 
Tulip. Height 30 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
See illustration, page 9. ; 
PRINCESS ELIZABETH. An extraordinarily lovely rose- 
pink Tulip with topaz lights and hints of fuchsia shadow- 
ings on the exterior and a clearly defined white base with 
a blue halo. The cup is large and rather deep, of slender, 
yet rounded form, and opens well. Delightful with a fore- 
ground of dark Phlox “G. F. Wilson,” or planted in front 
of dark evergreens. Height 28 inches. $1.30 for 10: 
$10.50 per 100. 
PRINCESS MARY. Here is a long, slender, egg-shaped 
Tulip of exquisite and gentle grace, a most glorious hue, 
indeed one of the finest of all the Darwins. The flower 
is very large and well shaped, of a full warm rose-pink, 
deeper within and with fawn colored lights and a fine 
pale rib down each petal, a white base with purple halo. 
The inner tone of pink is both deep and rich. Lovely 
with fluffy white flowers. For this stately and tall Tulip, 
the use of Dicentra spectabilis is suggested, if planted 
in the border. Dicentra might well be set in front of, 
as well as among such a Tulip as “Princess Mary,” as 
the latter is sure to tower above the plants of Bleeding 
Heart. If planted in partial shade the magnificent color 
will show to the best advantage. Height 35 inches. $1.45 
for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
SCOTCH LASSIE. Will you visualize the coloring of 
Darwin Tulip “Melicette,” which is a very fine variety. 
This novelty is what might be called a magnified “Meli- 
cette,” superior in every way. “Scotch Lassie” is of the 
purest deep lavender, shaded darker inside, with dark 
blue base. Larger and more substantial flower, slightly 
reflexing. Will last 3 weeks and longer either in the gar- 
den or used as a cut flower. One of the finest lavender 
Tulips in our entire collection. Not quite so tall as some 
others but valuable in every way. Height 26 inches. $1.45 
for 10; $12.00 per 100. See illustration, page 8.
