tp the Giant Breeder Si ulips 
A field of these Giant Breeder Tulips in bloom is an amazing mass 
and riot of color—a rainbow gone mad. They have been compared 
with a richly colored Gobelin tapestry and the play of sunlight on 
these rare tints is an unforgettable sight. 
The rare richness of the exotic and almost unbelievable color 
schemes of the Giant Breeder and Hybrid Giant Breeder Tulips will 
soon cause them to be the talk of your neighborhood, creating mixed 
emotions of surprise, admiration and envy on the part of all who view 
the colorful spectacle of their blooms. For grace, beauty and stately 
dignity—for richness of color—for large, long-lasting blooms, they 
are unsurpassed. 
Indian Sunset Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.75, 100 $13.00 
Mahogany with a distinct reddish flush. The interior of the bloom is a 
dark bronze with nearly black base. An outstanding novelty of rich 
beauty. Height 29 inches. 
Jessey Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.30, 100 $11.75 
Clear coffee-brown, rather deep; flushed bronzy red with yellow base. 
Very large and strong flower, tall, erect stem. Height 36 inches. 
J. } Bouman Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.30, 100 $11.75 
n exquisite flower which might be described as tomato-red, with claret- 
red flush, edges of petals delicately tinted yellowish bronze. Interior 
red-bronze and pure yellow base. Without question one of the finest 
Breeder Tulips in this color. The stiff erect stem is 29 inches tall. 
Karl May (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00 
Brilliant Chinese red, lightly shaded flame-orange which lights up and 
fairly sparkles in bright sunshine. Beautifully shaped cuplike flower, 
incurving petals; truly a gracefully formed flower. Base and anthers 
yellow, giving a nice glow to the flower. An outstanding novelty which 
will go a long way. Height 27 inches. 
Kathryn Truxton (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00 
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. 
Limnos (New) Six $1.40, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.50, 100 $16.00 
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 words. It’s a ‘’must’”’ 
if you like rare colors. Considered one of the choicest new varieties. 
Louis XIV Six $1.10, Doz. $1.80, 25 $3.25, 100 $11.50 
A large, goblet-shaped flower, which possesses a most artistic blending 
of tones, deliciously scented. Dark bluish violet with tawny marain 
flushed golden brown and dull blue base with a yellow star, shaded 
bronze. Height 34 inches. 
Minerva Six $1.20, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.35, 100 $12.00 
An immense bright violet shaded blue; edges of petals are bronze, the 
base yellow. A rare and most distinctive variety, especially for garden 
or exhibition. Stem strong and 30 inches tall. 
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 
yeHow 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.

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.

Long oval flower, Chinese red to flame-red, somewhat darker outside, 
margin of petal is soft clear Chinese red with orange overtones, Inside 
flower sparkling reddish flame, base olive and yellow mixed.» A very 
fine flower of immense size, and brilliance; looks very good against a 
dark green background. Height 27 inches. 
Oriental Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $13.50 
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 $1.25, Doz. $2.00, 25 $3.50, 100 $12.50 
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 af excellent sub- 
stance, and borne on a 34-inch stem. Superb in the border. 
Stephanie Six $1.25, Doz. $2.10, 25 $3.60, 100 $12.75

flower and strong stem. Height 32 inches.

A fine, new Breeder growing about 29 inches tall. The flowers are 
bold and strong on wiry stems; color a rich Chinese orange-red without 
variation in tints or markings. This variety makes a bold, fine effect 
and looks exceptionally well planted with rich lavender or purple Tulips. 
Al for garden planting.
