A vigorous race of self-colored 
flowers, distinguished by their 
strong and tall stems and their 
shapely flowers. To all intents and 
purposes they are “Breeder Tu- 
lips.” They flower simultaneously 
with the Breeder, Cottage and Hy- 
brid Tulips during the month of 
May, with the exception of far 
southern sections, where they 
bloom during April. 
The varieties named in our list 
have been specially selected as be- 
ing distinct, showy, and beautiful. 
Unsatisfactory varieties have been 

eliminated, so that you need have 
no hesitation in choosing the col- 
ors you require, as all are good. 
ADORABLE. A beautiful Tulip typical of the giant Dar- 
wins with its large cup, almost square, poised on tall, 
erect stems. Its color is a rich old rose shading to a lighter 
hue, a cameo-pink, along the edges. Whether growing in 
formal beds over a ground cover of Forget-me-nots or 
English Daisies, or whether planted informally in groups 
in the border near Dogwood or Lilac, this Tulip will al- 
ways elicit admiration. Height, 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; 
$12.50 per 100. 
ANNIE LAURIE. This Tulip draws immediate attention 
in the garden. Beautifully formed delicate rose-pink 
blooms with a trace of fuchsia lights on the outer petals. 
A planting in front of dark evergreens would be most 
effective. Height, 28 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
See illustration, page 20. 
BLUE GEM. A most lovely association cf violet and rosy 
heliotrope will be found in this new variety. Extra large 
oval blooms with strong, stiff ‘stems. Plant with “Mrs. 
John T. Scheepers” or “Alaska” for finest effect or a 
ground planting of yellow Pansies to bring out the beau- 
tiful tones. Height, 28 inches. $2.25 for 10; $20.00 per 
100. See illustration, page 17.

BLUE PEARL. A tall, nobly carried Tulip, deep mauve- 
violet, petals edged silvery violet. This large bold flower 
is beautifully formed and makes a fine combination with 
the lemon colored Tulip “Mother’s Day” or the deliciously 
colored “Conde Nast,” with a floor of viola “Jersey Gem.” 
Height, 28 inches. $2.25 for 10; $20.00 per 100. See 
illustration, page 8. 
BLUE PERFECTION. A Tulip of great charm with its 
enormous pale hortense-violet flowers. The cups are 
very deep and wide with generously overlapping petals. 
A pleasing color contrast may be obtained by planting 
this variety near Rosa Hugonis with Alyssum saxatile, 
var. citrinum as a ground cover planting. Height, 28 
inches. $1.55 for 10; $13.00 per 100. See illustration, 
page 12. 
BOURGOGNE. A deep wine-red flower of great beauty 
with dark blue center. A wonderful Tulip, of immense 
size, graceful and carried on a fine, strong stem. Plant 
near other white Darwin Tulips with a foreground plant- 
ing of Iberis sempervirens. Height, 30 inches. $1.65 for 
10; $14.00 per 100. 
CAROLINE TESTOUT. This very unusual and beautiful 
Tulip was named after the well known rose of that 
name. The color of this Tulip is even more beautiful, 
a soft rose with a large white base. Of perfect shape 
and it has exceptional lasting qualities. A Tulip with a 
great future. Very scarce. Height, 28 inches. $1.65 for 
10; $14.00 per 100. 
CHARLES NEEDHAM. Possibly the best of the red Dar- 
win Tulips. Flowers are of large size, of brilliant red, 
and carried on strong stems. The color holds well in 
sunshine. It combines very wel! with mauve and white 
intermediate irises, and a most lovely picture can be 
created by using Iberis sempervirens as a ground cover. 
A fine exhibition Tulip. Height, 28 inches. $1.50 for LOE 
$12.50 per 100. 
CITY OF HAARLEM. A dependable, handsome Darwin 
of great substance and of fiery cardinal-red. The deep 
Tulips 
violet base of this Tulip, outlined in white, gives iteg 
striking effect when open. It is admirably at home among 
all the lighter-colored spring flowers, such as the hardy 
alyssum “Silver Queen,” with gay effects in the garden 
or border. Height, 31 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 
100. 
CLARA BUTT. Lovely pure pink Tulip that should be 
in quantity in every garden; of a delightful color that 
will go with most anything. In some lights an elusive soft 
salmon suffusion in this fine flower adds to the interest 
of this beautiful blossom. Would make a striking effect 
massed against purple Barberry. Height, 28 inches. $1.40 
for 10; $11.50 per 100. 
DUKE OF WELLINGTON. A delightful pure white 
flower of good form and character with cream anthers 
and base. The large flowers have fine lasting qualities and 
are carried on a good stem. This chaste, noble Tulip is 
considered one of the finest of all white Tulips. It has a 
round cup which, for purity of color and perfection of 
texture, is not to be seen elsewhere. There is no colored 
base; the Tulip is the purest white throughout except for 
soft violet anthers and greenish white stigma. A sugges- 
tion for planting would be Phlox divaricata Laphami, 
Barr’s Alpine Blue, with Aubrietia below, which with 
the dominating flower of this glorious Tulip will produce 
a spring picture well worth creating. Height, 32 inches. 
$1.70 for 10; $14.50 per 100. 
ECLIPSE. Dark, rich red Darwins are not too common, 
but here is one of beautiful form, splendid firmness of 
petal and stem, which would be capital if used with “La 
Tulipe Noire,” a Tulip long known to many of us asa 
most valuable flower for the spring enrichment of the 
border. “Eclipse” is a glowing, dark blood-red flower with 
a lustrous surface and violet, white-margined center. So 
substantial is its quality that it lasts well through the 
Tulip season. Makes an indescribably gay display with 
white Camassias and associated with another Tulip of a 
more brilliant hue. Height, 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; 
$12.50 per 100. See illustration, page 12.
