MARJORIE BOWEN. This extraordinary variety displays un- 
usual coloring. The beautifully formed flower, which is large 
and carried on a strong, tall stem, is of a shade of buff and 
salmon which passes into deep rose-pink with salmon shades; 
the center is white. Its best use is with Forget-me-nots near, 
though in any spot where the Myrtle’s lavender-blue flowers 
abound, this Tulip would be charming rising from among them. 
Height 26 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. See illustra- 
tion, page 3. 
MIMOSA. A beautiful Tulip. Strong and vigorous grower. 
Its color is somewhat difficult to describe. The basic color 
is cream-yellow with light brownish red markings running 
through the center of each petal. Base is dark blue with promi- 
nent anthers. Interesting when planted in combination with 
Tulips of red and orange tones. Height 28 inches. $1.50 for 
10; $12.50 per 100. 
MONGOLIA. This we consider one of the best of the recent 
introductions; it is one of the largest deep yellow varieties in 
existence. The flowers are egg-shaped, of great substance and 
carried on tall, strong stems. While the yellow color of this 
beauty is rather deep, it has a tone of softness, making it ex- 
tremely desirable. Indeed an outstanding variety. Height 32 
inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. See illustration, page 2. 
MRS. JOHN T. SCHEEPERS. Upon the occasion of the great 
International Flower Show at Bloemendaal, Holland, the most 
beautiful Tulip produced by Messrs. C. G. van Tubergen, Ltd., 
was presented to Mrs. John T. Scheepers by Mr. Hoog of that 
firm and named in her honor. The first impression one gets 
from this Tulip is its majestic beauty. Elegantly formed, oval- 
shaped, large flowers of golden yellow, very clear of color, are 
carried on tall, thick, sturdy stems with clear green foliage that

_ 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 interest- 
ing. The flower is all of charming yellow, there is no 
other color anywhere. 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.” Height 25 inches. $1.60 for 10; $13.50 per 100. 
CAPTAIN FRYATT. An exceedingly unusual color, amaranth- 
purple, with a deep blue-violet base misted with a white bloom. 
The flowers are large, the long-pointed petals widely reflexed 
and borne on gracefully drooping stems. The only Tulip in 
this color class. Height 24 inches. $1.60 for 10; $13.50 per 
100.

in itself commands immediate attention. The entire plant is of 
the strongest development. The blooms are enormous with 
fleshy, wholesome petals, of unsurpassed substance and of fine 
lasting quality. A real giant among Tulips. This magnificent 
variety is recognized by experts as the choicest yellow Tulip 
for garden decoration, one that especially suits the American 
climate. Height 30 inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100. See 
illustration, page 22. 
NORTHERN QUEEN. This is an exquisite new variety that has 
caused much attention. Extra large flower, white with deep 
border of pink down the flower to within 1 inch of the base. 
Very showy and fine in any collection. Strong stems 30 inches 
high. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 100. See illustration, page 14. 
ROSABELLA. There is hardly a Tulip anywhere to match this 
flower for a certain soft charm. Its color may be described as 
a delicious pink, warm, delicate and sweet, as lovely as a pink 
rosebud, or the colors of a seashell, tender pink with a blush 
of deeper color suffusing each petal, and smart black anthers. 
Not so tall as some of its enterprising contemporaries, yet it 
carries itself nicely on a stem of 20 inches or so, and would 
give particular grace and beauty to a spot where taller and 
smaller Forget-me-nots spread themselves below. Makes an 
engaging offset with Phlox divaricata and a pale yellow Inter- 
mediate Iris. It is difficult to use measured terms as one looks 
at this Tulip and compares it with others. This is a flower of 
ineffable charm. “Rosabella” should not be grown near any 
other Tulip. It should have a spot of its own, a place given 
to its own loveliness. One of the most desirable Tulips both 
in the garden and for cutting, with a fine fragrance. Height 
27 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. See illustration, 
page 2.

purity. It is carried on a tall, straight, strong stem and will 
create a lovely picture if planted in clumps with a ground 
cover of Myosotis or Anchusa myosotidiflora. Height 29 inches. 
$1.55 for 10; $13.00 per 100.
