SONATE. A very beautiful variety that can best be described 
as a tomato-red, margined orange and flushed carmine on the 
inside of the petals; base is yellow and green and the anthers 
are black. Height 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
See illustration, page 11. 
FINEST MIXTURE. Excellent for the cutting garden. A hand- 
picked mixture of all colors. All are named varieties. Extra 
selected quality bulbs. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
TANTALUS. Probably the most stately and beautiful of the 
new giant Breeder Tulips. An outstanding exhibition Tulip. 
The very large cup-shaped flowers are of a light cadmium- 
yellow overlaid with dull slate-violet. Base is dark yellow with 
black anthers. A most beautiful color picture can be created 
by planting them in drifts along the purple “Mrs. J. Ramsay 
Hunt” and rising from a foreground planting of Scilla cam- 
panulata. Height 32 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100.

Cottage ana Hybrid Tulips 
LONG STEMS, GRACEFUL IN HABIT 
OTTAGE TULIPS are varieties which have been found, for the most part, sequestered in the old cottage gardens of the 
British Isles. Hybrid Tulips are the results of crosses between the Cottage, Breeder and Darwin Tulips. They flower ap- 
proximately at the same time as the Breeder and Darwin Tulips, during the month of May, with the exception of the far southern 
section, where they bloom in April. They are often marked by long, rather pointed petals and thin, wiry stems. 
All the Tulips offered in our list are beautiful, presenting a great variety in form and coloring. They are prized for cutting 
because of their long stems and graceful habit, and are especially adaptable for permanent, hardy flower borders where they 
should be freely planted in large clumps and in masses. 
Plant 6 inches deep and not less than 5 inches apart. In planting in clumps, set the bulbs about 3 inches apart. To insure 
proper drainage, sand, to the depth of an inch, should be put beneath the bulb. 
ADVANCE. Truly a remarkable Tulip, the result of a cross 
between Gesneriana Spathulata and the Botanical Tulip 
“Greigi.” One of the largest flowers seen in Tulips, reminding 
one when fully opened of an Oriental Poppy. The color is 
difficult to describe, a fiery red with a blue base. One of the 
earliest of the May-Flowering Tulips. Height 30 inches. $1.40 
for 10; $11.50 per 100. 
BARBARA PRATT. One of the most remarkably beautiful and 
brilliant Tulips of recent introduction. The color is a most 
radiant cherry-pink with an extraordinary effect of golden light 
shining through it. The flower is long and exquisitely modeled 
and gives forth a delicious fragrance. It does not fade in the 
sun and lasts in perfection for a much longer period than most 
Tulips. A luminous and beautiful flower, worthy of a fine 
name, undoubtedly destined for a great future. Height 36 
inches. $1.55 for 10; $13.00 per 100. 
CARRARA. This is a fair pale Tulip, which has already cre- 
ated by its beauty a sensation at the great flower shows. It is 
as round as the breast of a swan; as purely white as the marble 
from which it takes its name, and is in all ways an enchanting 
Tulip. A most entrancing and delicate flower. It has been 
extremely scarce, now available at a more reasonable price. 
$1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 100. 
CONDE NAST. An outstanding novelty of great charm. 
A seedling of the well known hybrid Tulip, “Mrs. F. E. Dixon,” 
it is similar in habit of growth, shape of flower, strength of 
stem and lasting qualities of flower. In color it is a light yellow, 
overlaid orange on the outside of the petals. Height 30 inches. 
$1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. See illustration, page 11. 
DIDO. Here is a perfect flower, bewitching in its loveliness. 
Unspeakably glorious in its extraordinarily luminous light 
effects and its long and slender form, poised firmly at the top 
of its tall, straight stem, it must strike everyone as among the 
wonders of the world of Tulips. Its color is deep rich pink or 
light jasper-red, with Lambert topaz lights and amber edges 
to the petals, the base and anthers pale corn-yellow. A lovely 
ensemble and warmly fragrant. It has no peer as an unusually 
magnificent Tulip, the sweet fragrance adding much to the 
value of the flower. Where a bright color effect is needed it 
is superb. Height 32 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
GOLDEN AGE. This is one of the most beautiful of all yellow 
hybrids of recent introduction. The large flower of a bright 
golden yellow with orange fleckings is carried on a tall, stiff 
stem. A valuable addition to your collection; may we suggest 
that you try a few of these, to put a clump here and there in 
your border plantings? Height 28 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 
per 100. See illustration, page 10. 
G. W. LEAK. A charming cup-shaped flower, the outer petals 
slightly flared, showing the influence of the Cottage Tulip 
blood. The color is amazing, a pure spectrum-red with a scar- 
let interior. The anthers are apricot-yellow with a light yellow 
base that reflects slightly on the outside of the petals. Height 
29 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
MOTHER'S DAY (Lemon Queen). A splendid Tulip of fine 
form and substance. Strong and vigorous grower. In color it 
is a pure soft yellow. Height 28 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 
per 100. See illustration, page 14.
