Good Spring-Flowering 
Bulbs 
Since Fall is the time to plant Spring- 
flowering bulbs, it should be the best 
time to discuss good varieties. 
To begin with, the Red Emperor Tu- 
lip, of the species fosteriana, is undoubted- 
ly the most sensational tulip of all times. 
Flowers are easily twice the size of ordi- 
nary tulips, colored a brilliant scarlet be- 
yond description, with its black base edged 
yellow. Height from 18 to 20 inches. 
Plant some of these for their dazzling 
effects. 
DOUBLE TULIPS 
Also very popular in our display and 
test gardens last Spring were the double 
late tulips, Mt. Tacoma and Uncle Tom. 
Both are of the Peony-flowered types, 
and create a very striking effect, whether 
planted in small groups or massed. Mt. 
Tacoma is a giant double and pure white, 
truly magnificent when blooming along 
with the Darwins. Uncle Tom is a large 
fully double blackish-red, a distinctive 
shade all of its own. Height at maturity 
of both, 18 to 20”. 
NIPHETOS—DARWIN TULIP 
A very outstanding Darwin is Niphe- 
tos, reaching a stately 26 to 28” in

height, with a soft yellow color, excellent 
for the blending of stronger shades. Very 
strong stem, and long-lasting flowers. 
DAFFODIL—GOLDEN HARVEST 
Because of its extremely large size, and 
rich golden yellow color, we consider 
Golden Harvest to be the superior yellow 
trumpet daffodil. This one flowers very 
early and is exceptionally hardy. 
FOR SOFTER COLORS 
Beersheba and Rembrandt 
There are any number of trumpet daf- ~ 
fodils in yellow and gold of the richer 
shades, but for real softness in colors try 
Beersheba for an all pure white, and 
Rembrandt will give pleasing variety with 
its all pale yellow flower. Both are the 
giant flowered long trumpet types, and 
excellent growers. 
DAISY SHAEFFER 
Of the numerous varieties of Narcissl, 
we select one of the Leedsi Narcissi, 
Daisy Shaeffer. The large perianth is 
pure white, while the short trumpet is a 
soft shade of gold. Surprisingly vigorous 
for all of its apparent demureness and 
subtle color differences.
