LAVENDER AND PURPLE 
THE LIGHT AND MEDIUM SHADES 
GEORGE GRAPPE. Described on page 23. 3 for 45c, 12 for $1.60, 100 for $12.00. 
INSURPASSABLE. A beautiful orchid-lavender tulip with white center. More 
attractive than the picture—not so pinkish. In addition to the beautiful color this 
variety has good substance and strong stems and is quite the best tulip in its color 
class. 3 for 45c, 12 for $1.65. 
KING MAUVE. A magnificent big tulip of light lavender shaded with deeper lav- 
ender. Many experts consider this the best of the light lavender tulips. It would 
be lovely to plant with a light yellow variety such as Golden Harvest. 3 for 40c, 
12 for $1.50, 100 for $11.25. 
MADAME BUTTERFLY. Lovely pale mauve shaded violet, white base and black 
anthers. A beautifully shaped rather long flower on a strong stiff stem, 30 inches 
high. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.50, 100 for $11.25. 
MRS. H. I. PRATT. This is one of the largest and tallest tulips that we grow and 
entirely distinct from any other in color. The globular flowers are lilac-mauve 
with distinct yellow shading at the edges of the petals. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.50, 
100 for $11.25. 
REV. H. EWBANK. Another good old-timer. Not as outstanding as some but a 
good grower and often times the color is very beautiful—all lavender varieties are 
influenced by the weather more than the other colors. The cup-shaped flowers are 
of good size and of a deep lavender color shading lighter at the edges. Free flower- 
ing and easily grown. Top size bulbs, 12 for $1.30, 100 for $9.75. First size bulbs 
(11-12 ems), 12 for $1.00, 100 for $7.50. 
SCOTCH LASSIE. Pure deep lavender shaded darker inside with blue base. Darker 
than any of the varieties above and lighter than those below. Large substantial 
flowers that last unusually long. 3 for 45c, 12 for $1.60, 100 for $12.00. 
THE VERY DARK PURPLE AND MAROON SHADES 
FAUST. A highly recommended variety of dark satiny purple-maroon. Not as dark 
as La Tulipe Noire but the flowers are much larger. The deep cup-shaped flowers 
are upheld by very tall stems. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.45, 100 for $10.85. 
JUBILEE. Among the medium dark blue-purple tulips this is certainly one of the 
very best. The very large blossoms have rich glistening color and firm texture. 
Height 28 inches. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.50, 100 for $11.25. 
LA TULIPE NOIRE. The original and famous “Black Tulip”. It is.a very dark ma- 
roon-black with a velvety sheen. Unusually strong stems. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.40, 
100 for $10.50. 
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT. A new variety that is one of the darkest tulips yet intro- 
duced. Many say it is the darkest tulip. It has a very large oval flower of extremely 
dark purple-maroon with velvety sheen. The foliage has a distinct bluish tone. 
Height 30 inches. 3 for 50c, 12 for $1.85, 100 for $13.85. 
THE BISHOP. Magnificent large flowers of deep violet-blue—bright, clear. A 
choice variety that would be delightful flowering above a carpet of yellow pansies 
or primroses. If combined with the 
dark yellow tulip Golden Age the ef- 
fect would be impressive. 3 for 45c, 
12 for $1.60, 100 for $12.00.
