COTTAGE TULIPS CONTINUED 
MRS. JOHN T. 
SCHEEPERS 

MRS. JOHN T. SCHEEPERS, 30. Our firm considers this origination 
of theirs to be the finest yellow Tulip in existence and their respected 
judgment is confirmed by other Tulip experts. The huge elegantly 
formed blossoms are of clearest yellow with a substance like parch- 
ment and fine lasting quality. Every part of the plant, foliage, stem 
and blossom is of the strongest development and an enormous im- 
provement on older varieties. Has won highest awards. 3-50c, 
6-90c, 12-$1.75, 25-$3.20, 100-$12.00. 
MONGOLIA, 30. An aristocratic flower that is one of the best of 
Van Tubergen’s newer introductions. An ideal deep yellow flower, 
egg-shaped in form, with jet black anthers and of great substance. 
A beautiful giant, excellent in every way. 3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 
25-$3.20, 100-$12.00. 
OSSI OSWALDA, 28. A veritable ‘“Chamelion Tulip’’ for the color 
changes from day to day. The blossom opens a luscious creamy-white 
with a faint blush of rose on the edges of the petals, soon this color 
spreads and when fully developed the flower is a clear rose. Esp2- 
cially recommended. 3-40c, 6-65c, 12-$1.30, 25-$2.45, 100- 
$9.00. 
PRINCESS OF HOLLAND, 26. A large, fiery red flower with a yel- 
low center shaded with contrasting black. This new Tulip has won 
universal admiration and obtained an A. M. Haarlem 1938. 3-70c, 
6-$1.30, 12-$2.60, 25-$4.70, 100-$18.00. 
ROSABELLA, 26. A matchless flower of soft pink, margined pale 
rose with creamy-white center. This lovely Tulip exactly resembles 
a rose-bud in shape and coloring. It is fine for cutting and excep- 
tionally fine for the garden as the flowers are very substantial and 
long lasting. A Van Tubergen origination. 3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75,

Single 
Early Culips 
Single Early Tulips usually flower at the end of April and are 
indispensable for briiliant color in beds and borders in early spring. 
As they are not as tall as the Darwin, Breeder and Cottage Tulips, 
they are especially adapted to places exposed to the wind. They may 
be planted any time from the middle of September until the ground 
freezes, about 4 inches deep and 4 or 5 inches apart. 
Early Tulips are very popular for growing indoors. For best results, 
the bulbs should be potted immediately on receipt and treated the 
same way as Hyacinths. Tulip bulbs need &t least three months for a 
good root development before they can stand a forcing temperature. 
Those marked * are the earliest flowering varieties and are spe- 
cially recommended for forcing. They are classified by their blooming 
periods as E, early; M, medium, and L, late. The figure gives height 
in inches. 
All Bulbs are Extra Size, 12 cms. and over unless otherwise stated.

11-12 cms. 3-40c, 6-65c, 12-$1.30, 25-$2.45, 100-$9.00.

center. A long lasting Tulip very effective for bedding and excellent
