BOTANICAL TULIPS—Continued 
KAUMANNIANA PRIMROSE. Soft primrose color, dark 
yellow base. 3 for 35c; doz. $1.35. 
KAUFMANNIANA SCARLET ELEGANCE. Uniform bril- 
liant scarlet; one of the earliest to bloom. Fine. 3 for 
60c; doz. $2.00. 
KAUFMANNIANA VIVALDI. A wonderful new variety, 
growing about 15” high, and producing large fiowers 
of carmine with yellow edge; the green foliage is beau- 
tifully flecked brown. 3 for 60c; doz. $2.00. 
MADAME LEFEBER (Red Emperor) (Fosteriana Type). 
18”. One of the most striking tulips under cultivation 
today. It produces colossal blooms on erect, strong 
stems. The color is fascinating and is of the loveliest 
shade of glowing scarlet with yellowish base. The petals 
are long and in the full sun open like a huge fiery 
poppy. Blooms very early for us, the very first large 
tulip in our garden. Would perhaps need some protec- 
tion in very cold climates because of its earliness. We 
can certainly recommend this tulip if you want a bright 
red spot that “jumps right out at you’’ when you need 
red accents in the garden. 3 for 35c; 12 for $1.25. 
PRINCEPS (Fosteriana Type). Huge flowers of glowing 
scarlet, with blue base edged yellow. The flower is of 
the same vivid color as Madame Lefeber, but on a 
shorter, stockier stem. It’s really a striking tulip. 
Princeps blooms about two weeks later than Madame 
Lefeber, and ideal for rockery. 38 for 40c; doz. $1.35. 
PRAESTANS FUSILIER. A cluster type tulip for the rock- 
ery; a flaming orange red color, 3 to 5 flowers per 
stem; dwarf growing. Very early, the earliest red tulip, 
blooming for us with the early daffodils. 3 for 35c; 
doz. $1.30.

TULIPS IN THE SOUTH 
Coming into greater popularity each season, tulips 
are really going places in the South. A few general 
rules must be observed for best results, and a little 
care in planting will pay big dividends in beauty. 
Planting time is from Oct. 15 through November. 
Earlier plantings may become more susceptible to the 
botrytis fungus or fire blight. Keep all petals from 
falling on the leaves after the flowers fade. Clean cul- 
tivation and good drainage is necessary, but be sure 
not to injure the growing plants with garden tools. 
Damage to foliage invites fire blight. 
Plant bulbs 12 inches deep if you plan to leave them 
undisturbed for a period of years. If they must be 
moved every year or two, 8 or 9 inches is deep enough. 
Plan your plantings, then plant accordingly. 
With these simple rules, the average gardener need 
not be without these bright and cheerful flowers with 
their wide range of color and type. They are a most 
welcome addition to every garden. After tulip foliage 
has matured, shallow rooted annuals can be planted 
right over the bulbs, eliminating blank spots in the 
garden. 
If advised to do so, we will hold your tulip order 
in cold storage until the time you would like to have 
them delivered. Early orders are appreciated and we 
will hold them at no extra cost to you.
