Chameleon Culips 
Here we have a collection of new Tulips which in form and shape 
resemble the Darwin Tulips; the coloring, however, reminds one of 
the Cottage Tulip, Picotee. 
When Chameleon Tulips first come into bloom they show only faint 
tracings or delicate margins of pink on the edges of the flower petals, 
with the development and consequent aging of the bloom these mark- 
ings enlarge and gradually spread over the entire flower. Fascinating 
to watch this change of color taking place, which is always an increase 
in pink coloring. 
Fanny Farrar Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.60, 100 $16.50 
White with light red border on each petal. One flower often differs from 
the other in coloring; sometimes some of them will turn red. This has 
always been one of the most attractive varieties in our Chameleon col- 
lection. Height 25 inches. 
Ossi Oswalda 
Opening creamy white delicately flushed rose, when fully developed the 
flower is a clear rose shade. This is an exceptionally beautiful variety 
when used for forcing in pans in early February. One of our favorites.

Pink Wonder Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.50, 100 $16.00

Opening pure white with a delicate deep red picotee edge. This narrow 
band of color spreads and becomes more beautiful as the flower ages, 
softening in tone until the entire flower has turned to rose-pink. Then 
as well as at opening it is a delightfully lovely Tulip. Height 24 inches.

Chinese Lantern Culips 
Imagine a handful of Tulips having the delicate pure pastel shades 
of our finest Sweet Peas and you have but a fair description of their 
colors. The general effect, however, is that of lighted, delicately colored 
Chinese Lanterns. The perfectly formed globular blossoms glow with 
an iridescent light not heretofore seen in Tulips. The colors are too ex- 
quisite to accurately describe. They have been admired by visiting 
growers from all over Europe. Only one variety available at this time.

Lily- lowering Culips 
The Tulips offered under this heading have been kept by them- 
selves because of their distinct Lily-like flowers. They really belong 
with the Cottage Tulips but would be lost or difficult to find if offered 
in that already quite large group. 
Lily-flowered Tulips bloom the same time as the Cottage Tulips. 
and are best used where a light, airy, and graceful effect is desired. 
The delicately curved petals give a delightful effect. As a flower for 
cutting, it surpasses the regular Tulip because they are so much more 
graceful. Don’t miss planting a few this year. The most complete list 
in existence is offered here.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT 
As Well as for Your Flowers 
Plants, anything that grows in the soil, are exactly the same in their 
food needs as humans. There are plenty of what might be called the 
shot-in-the-arm kinds of ready mixed fertilizers. But, they are mostly 
only stimulants. : 
What your plants need is a balanced organic food. Not just a stimu- 
lant. They need one containing in right amounts, those things that 
make plenty of strong roots, produce good sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage 
and an abundance of good sized blooms. 
That’s exactly the kind of Plant Food we use at Wayside. Much of 
Our success in growing such wunfailingly fine plants is due to it. 
What it has done, and is doing for 600 miles of plants, it will do for 
your garden.
