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-

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 52.) 
Limnos (New) Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.65, 100 $17.00 
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 worde. It’s a “must’’ 
if you like rare colors. Considered one of the choicest new varieties. 
Louis XIV Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.30, 100 $11.75

base yellow. A rare and most distinctive variety, especially for garden 
or exhibition, Stem strong and 30 inches tall. (Color illustration, 
page 53.) 
Mikado (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00 
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. 
New Era (New) Six $2.50. Doz. $4.50, 25 $8.25, 100 $30.00 
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.

Oriental Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.85, 100 $13.25 
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. 
Penelope Six $1.10, Doz. $1.80, 25 $3.25, 100 $11.50 
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. (Color 
illustration, page 52.) 
Stephanie Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.30, 100 $11.75

flower and strong stem. Height 32 inches. (Color illustration, page 53.) 
Choice Mixed Giant Breeder Tulips 
Six $1.10, Doz. $1.75, 25 $3.15, 100 $11.25 
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.
