KING GEORGE V. A dazzling cherry-rose Tulip of great size 
and noble carriage; one of the finest introductions and a most 
telling color in the garden. The cup is graciously modeled and 
deep and the Jacqueminot shadows at the base of the petals 
lend an exquisite softness to the brilliant flower. The color 
holds well in sunshine. Lovely with early mauve and white 
Irises near Bechtel’s Crabapple. An effective setting may also 
be had by planting a mass of this among Myosotis or Cheir- 
anthus Allioni. Height 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 
100. 
LADY HILLINGDON. A most outstanding and beautiful Tulip. 
The flowers hold their shape well and are carried on firm, 
erect stems. The prevailing color is a clear geranium-pink, 
marvelously suffused with rose-purple with the edge of the 
inner petals of bittersweet-orange, giving the effect of a glow 
from within. The base and anthers are a light cadmium-yellow. 
Height 28 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
LA TULIPE NOIRE. The darkest of the Tulips. A very large, 
rich, velvety blackish maroon flower. Height 28 inches. $1.35 
for 10; $11.00 per 100. 
MADAME BUTTERFLY. A tall and stately exhibition Tulip. 
The large flowers are egg-shaped and of pale mauve, the middle 
of the exterior petals shaded with Chinese violet, deepening in 
the center of the flower to Matthew’s purple. Small white base 
and black anthers. Associated with hybrid Tulip “Mr. Van 
Zyl” and Darwin Tulip “La France” rising from drifts of Phlox 
divaricata var. Laphami, and in front of tall Bleeding Hearts. 
Height 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. See illus- 
tration, page 2. 
MARGAUX. A tremendous flower of deep wine-red, broadly 
edged with a lighter shading of wine-red and a blue base. The 
flower is carried on a strong, stiff stem. A Tulip of great size 
and beauty that will present a most admirable picture rising 
from a clump of Iberis sempervirens and planted near such 
white Darwin Tulips as “Glacier.” Height 30 inches. $1.40 
for 10; $11.50 per 100. 
MARSHALL HAIG. Possibly the most vivid of the red Dar- 
wins, the broad oval petals of brick-red deepening on the ex- 
terior 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. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. See illustration, page 2. 
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 texture 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. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 
per 100.

PRIDE OF HAARLEM. An old, but very fine Tulip. Of bril- 
liant rosy carmine with blue base. Very large flower of superb 
form borne on a tall, strong stem. Height 30 inches. $1.40 
for 10; $11.50 per 100. 
PRIDE OF ZWANENBURG. A most beautiful Tulip, greatly 
admired by everyone who visited the great International Flower 
Show, “Flora” at Heemstede, Holland, in 1935. It is best de- 
scribed as spinel-pink, suffused with rose-red, lightening to- 
wards the margin with white base and bluish black anthers. 
Lovely under a Double-Flowering Peach near the beautiful 
white Lily-flowering Tulip. Height 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; 
$12.50 per 100. See illustration, page 15. 
PRINCESS ELIZABETH. An extraordinarily lovely rose-pink 
Tulip with topaz lights and hints of fuchsia shadowings 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 foreground of dark Phlox 
“G. F. Wilson,” or planted in front of dark evergreens. Height 
28 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 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 ad- 
vantage. Height 35 inches. $1.60 for 10; $13.50 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 “Melicette,” 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 garden 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. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. See illustration, page 10. 
THE BISHOP. This highly desirable Tulip is often considered 
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. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
ZWANENBURG. A fine white Darwin Tulip, avail- 
able at a reasonable priee. Large flewers of good % 
substance, of purest white with a small black base 
and black anthers. Tall and vigorous grower. Espe- \ 
cially attractive combined with the deep red Darwin 
Tulip “Eclipse.” Height 32 inches. $1.40 for | 10; 
$11.50 per 100. See illustration, page 14.
