Indian Chief. 3 Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $14.00 
Perhaps the most artistic of all Breeder Tulips; a flower of enormous 
size carried on a very tall stiff stem. Of glorious coloring and in every 
way desirable for every purpose. The beautiful intriguing color is of 
an Indian brown, flushed coppery brown; a very effective dark, wood- 
brown Tulip with a burnished metallic sheen and illusive rose-colored 
lights. One of the handsomest of the brown Breeders, standing on a 
stem 38 inches high. (Color illustration, page 28.) 
Indian Sunset Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00 
Mahogany with a distinct reddish flush. The interior of the bloom is a 
dark bronze with nearly black base. An outstanding novelty of rich 
beauty. Height 29 inches. 
Jessey Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $14.00 
Clear coffee-brown, rather deep; flushed bronzy red with yellow base. 
Very large and strong flower, tall, erect stem. Height 36 inches. (Color 
illustration, page 26.) 
J. J. Bouman Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00 
An exquisite flower which might be described as tomato-red, with claret- 
red flush, edges of petals delicately tinted yellowish bronze. Interior 
red-bronze and pure yellow base. Without question one of the finest 
Breeder Tulips in this color. The stiff erect stem is 29 inches tall. 
Karl May (New) Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.65, 100 $17.00 
Brilliant Chinese red, lightly shaded flame-orange which lights up and 
fairly sparkles in bright sunshine. Beautifully shaped cuplike flower, 
incurving petals; truly a gracefully formed flower. Base and anthers 
yellow, giving a nice glow to the flower. An outstanding novelty which 
will go a long way. Height 27 inches. (Color illustration, page 30.) 
Kathryn Truxton (New) Six $2.00, Doz. $3.50, 25 $6.50, 100 $23.00 
Outside petals soft, smoky rose with handsome soft copper-yellow 
edging; inside soft pinkish lavender lightly shaded with old copper; 
olive-green base and wiry stem. Long oval-shaped flower of superb 
form and extra good lasting qualities. We like this better than Breeder 
Tulip Limnos, “Which is no mean Tulip,’’ because it is more distinct in 
its markings. However, that is strictly a personal matter; both Kathryn 
Truxton and Limnos are two fine Tulips. Height 28 inches. (Color illus- 
tration, page 28.) 
Limnos (New) Six $2.50, Doz. $4.40, 25 $8.00, 100 $29.00 
A beautiful egg-shaped flower of soft salmon with softly bronze-tinted 
undertone. Outer petals are flushed soft lilac-rose. An outstanding 
novelty of great beauty. The shadings and colorings of this flower are 
very subtle and almost impossible to portray with words. It’s a ‘must’ 
if you like rare colors. Considered one of the choicest new varieties. 
Louis XIV. 2 Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $14.00 
A large, goblet-shaped flower, which possesses a most artistic blending 
of tones, deliciously scented. Dark bluish violet with tawny margin 
flushed golden brown and dull blue base with a yellow star, shaded 
bronze. Height 34 inches. 
Minerva Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00

base yellow. A rare and most distinctive variety, especially for garden 
or exhibition. Stem strong and 30 inches tall. (Color illustrations, 
pages 27 and 29.)

Mikado (New) Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.65, 100 $1 7.00 
Immense oval-shaped flower. Chinese red with considerable shading of 
warm, bronzy orange. The inside of the flower is bright and has a vivid 
yellow base. Fine, bold, striking flower, stem not too tall, about 25 
inches. We believe this to be the largest Tulip flower ever raised. It 
makes a tremendous show in the garden and in addition has remarkable 
lasting qualities. Looks at its best in front of a dark green background 
and would be superb in mass plantings. (Color illustration, page 29.) 
New Era (New) Six $3.50, Doz. $6.50, 25 $12.00, 100 $45.00 
A beautiful and distinct novelty. The outside of the petals is lilac 
dusted with a white bloom. A broad and distinct margin of buff gold 
helps to enhance the beauty of the Tulip. Inside of flower has the 
same color arrangement repeated but the margin is twice as wide and 
shades into lilac; base purplish blue. Striking and unique, there is no 
other Tulip like it. One of the finest new kinds. Height 29 inches. 
(Color illustration, page 29.) 
Nimbus Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00

sheen. The edges of the petals are light bronze. The cup has an olive- 
green base. The flower is gigantic and. boldly carried on a stiff 32-inch

Long oval flower, Chinese red to flame-red, somewhat darker outside, — 
margin of petal soft clear Chinese-red with orange overtones. Inside 
flower sparkling reddish flame, base olive and yellow mixed. A very 
fine flower of immense size, and brilliance; looks very good against a 
dark green background. Height 27 inches. (Color illustration, page 29.) 
Oriental Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.65, 100 $17.00 
A tremendous long flower of pale lilac, bronze tinted with light yellow 
border. Over all its subtle coloring lies a bluish flush, same as on a ripe 
Plum. An outstanding novelty. The flower is carried on a stiff, straight 
32-inch stem. A “must” for your garden. (Color illustration, page 28.) 
Penelope Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $14.00 
Bronzy yellow with violet shading edged golden, base yellow, is a poor 
way to describe this magnificent flower. It can only be appreciated 
when seen. The extremely large cup-shaped flower is of excellent sub- 
stance, and borne on a 34-inch stem. Superb in the border. 
Stephanie Six $1.40, Doz. $2.35, 25 $4.25, 100 $15.50 
Bright violet shaded pale lilac with clear bluish white base. Very large 
flower and strong stem. Height 32 inches. (Color illustration, page 27.) 
Choice Mixed Breeder Tulips 
Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.15, 100 $14.75 
Mixed bulbs, as a rule, do not appeal to the planter because of the 
difficulty in the blending of colors. Breeder Tulips, however, are in 
a class by themselves, and their colors do permit easy blending. They 
are in shades of bronze, golden bronze, violet, buff, maroon and 
terra cotta. We suggest a liberal planting for cut flowers. 

Hybrid Species 
Particularly valuable because they are permanent. Once planted they need no further care. 
Tulip species, coming as they do from southern Europe and Asia, should be planted in dry, sunny locations. 
The following collection of Tulip Species or Botanical Tulips includes a great number of beautiful and interesting 
varieties, which show a bewildering variation of size and shape of flowers, structure of the leaves, habits, etc., and 
they only have in common that they grow wild in some part 
of the world, Asia Minor, Central Asia, Greece, the 
Mediterranean, etc. Cultivation has not modified them and they may be planted in the rock garden between creeping 
plants or in colonies in small, warm nooks where they will come up year after year without any care.
