‘THE BISHOP. This highly desirable Tulip is often con- 
sidered the best in its color; we always use it in our 
plantings for our exhibits. It is a tall variety with a 
medium sized cup of a lively tone of Bishop’s purple with 
elusive fawn colored lights on the reverse of the petals 
and a white interior base with black anthers. Would be 
superb above a carpet of apricot colored Violas. Height 
30 inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100. 
THE PEACH. A most attractively colored Tulip. Of 
light pink, shading to Persian lilac with white center and 
black anthers. Opening the pageant of bloom when the 
first late Tulips show color, it is still holding its own 
when the late varieties have reached the feeht of their 
bloom. Its fine color and stately appearance on tall, 
sturdy stems permit effective group planting with Bleed- 
ing Heart and Mertensia virginica. Height 30 inches. 
$1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100.

VENUS. This whole flower has a chalice or cup of the 
loveliest, deepest pink. A very finely formed flower, 
which is held at the top of a three-foot stem. Its faint 
flush of paler pink at the top of the inner petals adds to 
the charm of the flower; its general color is that of the 
deepest pink “June Rose.” Only the taller spring flowers 
should cluster about the plantings of the Tulip: Mertensia 
virginica is one that could not fail to lock well here, or a 
mass of Scilla campanulata var. “Excelsior.” Massed 
against the low sweeping plumes of white Persian Lilacs 
it gives splendid effect. Height 30 inches. $1.35 for 10; 
$11.00 per 100. 
ZWANENBURG. A fine white Darwin Tulip, available 
at a reasonable price. Large flowers of good substance, of 
purest white with a small black base and black anthers. 
Tall and vigorous grower. Especially attractive combined 
with the deep red Darwin Tulip “Eclipse.” Height 32 
inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.60 RPS 100. See illustration,

: ALASKA. Here is a most remarkable Tulip of 
a clear bright yellow and most elegant form. 
The tone of the yellow is very unusual, it is so 
even and so soft, and the form of the long slender 
flower is equally interesting. The flower is all 
of charming yellow, there is no other color any- 
where. The petals reflex slightly and the charm 
of the slender bloom is marked. A fine Tulip to use with 
Mertensia or with Scilla campanulata var. “Excelsior.”

24 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100.
