Rarest of All Tulips 
This gorgeous new Tulip creation is being offered to the 
public for the first time this autumn. It is of the Cottage 
type—a sport of Dido. After several years of carefully 
selecting only those bulbs producing the choicest colored 
blooms, it has been developed to its present standard of size 
and gorgeous coloring. 
The flower is a vivid red, striped and mottled in a most 
unique pattern with pure basic yellow. From one-fourth to 
one-third of the total petal surface is yellow, blended and 
intermingled with red in such a manner as to remind one of 
the flaming and vivid colors of the sky at sunrise in the 
tropics. Hence its name, Tropic Dawn. 
When used alone, it affords a spot of resplendently beau- 
tiful coloring in the garden. When utilized in connection 
with an assortment of varieties, it adds a touch of magnifi- 
cence that greatly enhances the beauty of any Tulip planting. 
TROPIC DAWN is offered exclusively by Whitten, as 
under special contract with the originator we control the 
entire supply of saleable bulbs. Be sure to add this new 
variety to your Tulip collection. You'll not be disappointed.
