GLACIER. Undoubtedly one of the best of the white 
exhibition Tulips. Huge flower of pure white, carried on 
a strong, tall stem. A most beautiful picture can be cre- 
ated by planting this variety near Darwin Tulip “Eclipse” 
with a ground cover of Phlox divaricata var. Laphami. 
Height, 31 inches. $1.60 for 10; $13.50 per 100. See illus- 
tration, Border planting, page 21. 
GOLDEN AGE. This is one of the most beautiful of 
all yellow hybrids of recent introduction. The large flower 
of a bright golden yellow with orange fleckings is carried 
on tall, stiff stem. A valuable addition to your collection; 
may we suggest that you try a few of these, to put a 
clump here and there in your border plantings? Height, 
28 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 100. See illustration, 
page 20. 
HELEN WILLS. Large flower of perfect form of the finest 
rosy lilac flushed with blue and a bluish white base. 
Superior to all other varieties in this shade and one of 
the longest lasting in the garden. The unusually rare 
shadings in this Tulip are shown to best advantage if 
placed in slightly shaded situation; indeed a fine addition 
to the garden especially in company with a ground cover 
Forget-me-nots or arising out of a bed of yellow and 
bronze Pansies. Height, 28 inches. $1.60 for 10; $13.50 
per 100. See illustration, page 20. 
INSURPASSABLE. Here is another hybrid of exceptional 
merit. A very large lilac flower, of fine form and great 
substance, held aloft on tall, strong stem. Planted with 
Munstead primroses, or rising out of a mass of Forget- 
me-nots and the double arabis, or standing in a clump 
by itself, this unusual variety will attract immediate atten- 
tion and will make very beautiful groupings. A clump 
placed at the foot of a laburnum will be exceptionally 
pretty. Height, 28 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
See illustration, Border planting, page 21. 
KING GEORGE V. A dazzling cherry-rose Tulip of great 
size and noble carriage; one of the finest introductions 
and a most telling color in the garden. The cup is gra- 
ciously modeled and deep and the Jacqueminot shadows 
at the base of the petals lend an exquisite softness to the 
brilliant flower. The color holds well in sunshine. Lovely 
with early mauve and white Irises near Bechtel’s Crab- 
apple. An effective setting may also be had by planting 
a mass of this among Myosotis or Cheiranthus Allioni. 
Height, 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. See 
illustration, page 8. 
LADY HILLINGDON. A most outstanding and beauti- 
ful Tulip. The flowers hold their shape well and are car- 
ried on firm, erect stems. The prevailing color is a clear 
geranium-pink, marvelously suffused with rose-purple 
with the edge of the inner petals of bittersweet-orange, 
giving the effect of a glow from within. The base and 
anthers are a light cadmium-yellow. Combines well with 
aubrietia var. “Dr. Mule,” the silvery foliage of Artemisia 
frigida and the darker toned Darwin Tulip “Pride of 
Zwanenburg.” Height, 28 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 
per 100. See illustration, page 12. 
LA TULIPE NOIRE. The darkest of the Tulips. A very 
large, rich, velvety, blackish maroon flower. Height, 28 
inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 100. 
MADAME BUTTERELY. A tall and stately exhibition 
Tulip. The large flowers are egg-shaped and of pale 
mauve, the middle of the exterior petals shaded with Chi- 
nese violet, deepening in the center of the flower to Mat- 
thew’s purple. Small white base and black anthers. Asso- 
ciated with hybrid Tulip “Mr. Van Zyl” and Darwin 
Tulip “Princess Mary” rising from drifts of Phlox divari- 
cata var. Laphami, and in front of tall Bleeding Hearts. 
Height, 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. See 
illustration, page 17. 
MARGAUX. A tremendous flower of deep wine-red, 
broadly edged with a lighter shading of wine-red and a 
blue base. The flower is carried on a strong, stiff stem. 
A Tulip of great size and beauty that will present a most 
admirable picture rising from a clump of [beris semper- 
virens and planted near such white Darwin Tulips as 
“Glacier.” Height, 30 inches. $1.45 for 10; $12.00 per 
100. 
MR. VAN ZYL. A new Darwin Tulip that has been very 
much admired. Glorious dark rosy pink with border some- 
what paler. Large flower of excellent substance. Height, 
30 inches. $1.55 for 10; $13.00 per 100. See illustration, 
page 12. 
NIPHETOS. A glorious ivory-yellow flower considerably 
darker at opening, paling to a pale ivory-yellow when 
fully developed. The interior of the flower is somewhat 
stronger in color, with a lighter base and yellow anthers. 
Of very graceful form, the petals have a remarkable tex- 
ture and possess long-lasting qualities. The large flowers 
are carried on fine stems. Possibly the best Tulip in its 
color class and one of the most beautiful. Very scarce. 
Height, 30 inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100. 
ORANGE PERFECTION. A brilliant, large, handsomely 
proportioned flower borne on a tall, stiff stem, bright 
cherry-pink in color with an orange glow, like sunshine, 
illuminating the petals. In some lights it looks almost 
golden. Immensely effective in the border. Height, 30 
inches. $1.55 for 10; $13.00 per 100. See illustration, 
page 12. 
PRIDE OF HAARLEM. An old, but very fine Tulip. Of 
brilliant rosy carmine with blue base. Very large flower 
of superb form borne on a tall, strong stem. Height, 30 
inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100. 
PRIDE OF ZWANENBURG. A most beautiful Tulip, 
greatly admired by everyone who visited the great Inter- 
national Flower Show, “Flora” at Heemstede, Holland. 
It is best described as spinel-pink, suffused with rose-red, 
lightening towards the margin with white base and bluish 
black anthers. Lovely under a Double-Flowering Peach 
near the beautiful white Lily-flowering Tulip. Height, 30 
inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
PRINCESS ELIZABETH. An extraordinarily lovely rose- 
pink Tulip with topaz lights and hints of fuchsia shadow- 
ings on the exterior and a clearly defined white base with 
a blue halo. The cup is large and rather deep, of slender, 
yet rounded form, and opens well. Delightful with a 
foreground of dark Phlox “Purple Heart” or planted in 
front of dark evergreens. Height, 28 inches. $1.40 for 
10; $11.50 per 100. 
PRINCESS MARY. Here is a long, slender, egg-shaped 
Tulip of exquisite and gentle grace, a most glorious hue, 
indeed one of the finest of all the Darwins. The flower is 
very large and well shaped, of a full warm rose-pink, 
deeper within and with fawn-colored lights and a fine pale 
rib down each petal, a white base with purple halo. The 
inner tone of pink is both deep and rich. Lovely with 
fluffy white flowers. For this stately and tall Tulip, the 
use of Dicentra spectabilis is suggested, if planted in the 
border. Dicentra might well be set in front of, as well as 
among such a Tulip as “Princess Mary,” as the latter is 
sure to tower above the plants of Bleeding Heart. If 
planted in partial shade the magnificent color will show 
to the best advantage. Height, 35 inches. $1.75 for 10; 
$15.00 per 100. See illustration, page 9.
