Pprimroses. Height 30 inches. 
Eclipse. 2 Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.10, 100 $14.50 
Dark, rich red Darwins are not too plentiful, and here is one of beautiful 
form, splendid firmness of petal and stem, which would be capital if used 
with Queen of the Night or Glacier. Known to many of us as a most 
valuable flower for the spring enrichment of the border. Eclipse is a 
glowing, dark blood-red flower with a lustrous surface and violet, white- 
margined center. So substantial is its quality that it lasts well through 
the Tulip season. Makes an indescribably brilliant display with white 
Tulips. Height 30 inches.

La Tulipe Noire, but related to that in color. This is a flower of oval 
form, of fine spreading petal, and well held up on its tall stems; a mag- 
nificent thing for cutting or for rich effects among other Tulips in the 
border. Height 31 inches. 
Flag of War Six $1.40, Doz. $2.35, 25 $4.25, 100 $15.50

would be too hard. The base of the bloom is dark, the stem strong and
