shape. Height 25 inches. (Color illustration, page 19.) 
Blue Eagle (Black Eagle) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.15, 100 $14.75 
The form and habit of this variety are perfect. A Tulip of no mean 
qualities and of rare beauty. For 3 years in our trial garden it has been 
greatly admired. The cup-shaped flower is of great size and of the 
richest ana most brilliant intense deep purple which shines when the 
sun strikes it. The anthers are pitch-black and the base of deepest 
blue. A glorious Tulip on a 29-inch stem. Plant it together with Ideal 
Darwin, Mount Everest, for stunning effect. 
Breitner (New) Six $2.50, Doz. $4.40, 25 $8.00, 100 $29.00 
Center of outside petals black-red, outside margin dark scarlet-red, 
inside fiery scarlet, base black with narrow white margin. This variety 
produces a most striking effect, in fact there is no other Tulip like it 
grown. Rather late flowering. For a deep, dark red effect it cannot be 
improved upon. The stem is rigid, the flower long lasting. It is one 
of the finest new varieties. Height 25 inches. 
Crimson Giant (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00 
This magnificent new deep crimson-red Tulip will in time replace all 
other kinds of similar color. It produces an immense flower of deep 
crimson-red. Many of our friends who have seen it agree with us that 
it is better, bigger and stronger, and darker and better in color than 
City of Haarlem. Crimson Giant is particularly fine if flowering next 
to a pure white Tulip such as Glacier. Here is a magnificent new dark 
red Tulip which we recommend witnout any reservations. 
City of Haarlem Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $13.50 
A reliable, handsome Darwin of great substance and of a fiery cardinal- 
red. The dark violet base of this Tulip, outlined in white, gives it a 
striking effect when open. It is admirably at home among all the lighter- 
colored spring flowers, such as the hardy Alyssum citrinum. Height 31 
inches. (Color illustration, page 32.) 
Clara Butt. 4 Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.75, 100 $12.50 
Lovely old time pure pink Tulip that should be in quantity in every 
garden. In some lights illusive soft salmon suffusions in this fine flower 
add to the interest of the beautiful blossom. Height 30 inches. 
Deborah (New) Six $3.50, Doz. $6.50, 25 $12.00, 100 $45.00 
Soft Clara Butt pink with soft shading broad pale pink margin. Inside 
vivid Clara Butt pink with blue center. A very unusual and very beautiful 
long, big oval flower of tremendous substance on wiry stem. It is the 
most distinct pink Darwin today. We may also say one of the loveliest 
of all Tulips, which when generally available, will be planted by the 
hundreds of thousands. Height 27 inches. 
Eclipse. 2 Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.15, 100 $14.75 
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. 
Golden Age. 2 Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $13.50 
This is a much improved Yellow Giant, which we do not any longer rec- 
ommend; a perfect golden yellow bloom on a tall stiff stem, very bril- 
liant and showy. Height 29 inches. You will like this variety much 
better than Yellow Giant. (Color illustration, page 33.)

flush. When open it displays a beautiful blue and white halo at the 
base of the bloom. We consider this one of the loveliest Tulips in this 
color in existence today. Stem graceful and about 30 inches tall. The 
flower is large and substantial. Plant with pale yellow Tulips. (Color
