—EARLIEST OF ALL TULIPS 
This gorgeously unique Tulip is one of the most unusual and appeal- 
ing creations we have ever offered our customers. It is a Double 
Early hybrid, sending forth a profusion of large, 
double blooms in late April or early May—one of 
the earliest in the entire Tulip family. 
In color it is a delightful primrose-yellow. When 
fully opened the shape, form and texture of the 
completely double flowers somewhat re- 
semble those of a Water Lily in full bloom. 
For this reason it has most appropriately 
been named Waterlily. 
It is ideal for forcing, and if planted 
in pots and grown on indoors, it bursts 
into bloom in late winter, producing a delightful 
foretaste of Spring long before the snow has 
gone; but if planted in the garden, it will be in 
its prime before the buds of other Tulips have 
opened. Be sure to add this choice variety to 
your collection. You'll like it, we know.
