She World's Ginest Culips 
In All Cheir Glory 
On these and the many pages that follow you will 
find the last word in Tulips shown in the very finest 
of actual color photographs. We are not given to 
superlatives unless we can prove our statements, but 
we say to you without fear of contradiction that these 
are the very finest and most beautiful Tulips obtain- 
able anywhere in the world. None are offered .except 
those of outstanding merit in form and color. If some 
of your old favorites are missing, it is because we have 
replaced them with better ones at similar prices. We 
earnestly suggest you be guided by those shown 
herein. 
All of the varieties offered within their particular 
group have been chosen by experts who know Tulips 
—from this country and from Holland. It might be 
mentioned in the passing that the owner and Presi- 
dent of THE WAYSIDE GARDENS CO. (Mr. J. J. 
Grullemans), was born in Holland where his family 
have grown the finest of Tulips for four generations 
and have introduced more fine varieties than any 
other firm. This means that WAYSIDE always has 
first choice of the finest of Dutch Tulips. Grullemans 
of Holland are constantly sending to WAYSIDE their 
latest hybrids for testing in America. After such tests, 
the Tulips of highest quality are then offered to our 
customers. 
You need not be an expert to make your selections 
from the many lovely Tulips shown on these pages 
because all those that are listed are outstanding; you 
cannot go wrong. But if you are inexperienced and 
want to be guided by the choice of our many good 
friends and customers, we suggest you turn to pages 
56 and 57, where is offered a Collection of Tulips 
which represents ten of the most popular kinds. 
You will receive plump, true ““mammoth size” 
bulbs of which, incidentally, there are only a very few 
available in Holland each year. These ‘’mammoth”’ 
bulbs are a size larger than the ‘‘top size’’ bulbs 
generally offered. Our Tulip bulbs will produce the 
biggest flowers it is possible for a Tulip bulb to pro- 
duce, a quality almost impossible to match and abso- 
lutely impossible to improve upon. With ordinary care 
they will produce magnificent blooms for several 
years. Accompanying your bulbs will be simple, easy- 
to-follow cultural instructions that will enable you to 
grow exhibition flowers. 
Dyeert Culips 
You will enjoy some of these new quaintly shaped flowers, particularly for house decoration. They are stunning in 
clumps here and there in the border, in front of shrubs or groups of evergreens. Their artistic form and coloring 
make them especially suitable for cut-flower purposes. Fantasy is recommended for pot culture also. Forced slowly in 
not too high a temperature it develops into one of the most unusual Orchid-like flowers you have ever seen. 
Blue Parrot Six 90c, Doz. $1.50, 25 $2.75, 100 $10.00 
A glorious Parrot Tulip of bright violet shaded steel-blue. The unusual 
flower is large and carried erect on a strong 30-inch stem. A rare 
novelty. 
Fantasy Six $1.10, Doz. $1.75, 25 $3.15, 100 $11.25 
The gorgeous pink Parrot Tulip. A sport of Clara Butt, with the same 
habits, height, strength of stem and time of flowering. The flowers are 
of unusual and beautiful form, the petals being laciniated, having 
curious excrescences on the outside. It is not only the rare form of this 
Tulip or its main color, which is a soft rose-pink; the shadings of the 
cup are a deep velvety rose color which is more sumptuous than words 
can tell. The encrustation of back petals often carries a delightful shade 
of apple-green. Height 26 inches. 
Gemma Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $13.50 
White flushed apple-blossom-pink. A very good new Parrot Tulip, much 
loved as a cut flower. 
Gadelan Six $1.50, Doz. $2.75, 25 $5.00, 100 $18.00 
A sensational flower, reminding one of a Cattleya Orchid in color and 
shape. When fully developed it often measures 7 inches across with 
a blending of blues and purples, edged white with blue-green markings. 
The inside of the flower is bright violet-purple with white center and 
contrasting black anthers. Fine sturdy stems. Height 22 inches. 
Orange Favorite Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.75, 100 $13.00

Clear golden yellow deeply lacerated and cut, sometimes a slight marking 
of green which enhances the beauty of this unusual flower. Height 14 in. 
Therese Six $1.20, Doz. $1.90, 25 $3.40, 100 $12.25 
Bright cochineal-red with green markings on outside. Inside of flower 
is a vivid scarlet with white center tinted blue. This variety is the 
Parrot form of Darwin Tulip, Farncombe Sanders. A brilliant and most 
interesting Parrot Tulip. Height 30 inches. The best by far of the red 
Parrot Tulips. 
The Black Parrot Each $1.00, Three $2.85, Doz. $11.00 
This rare, black-flowered Parrot Tulip we can offer only in a very 
limited quantity. It is a most exotic flower and in tremendous demand 
by Dutch growers who are all trying to obtain a few bulbs for growing 
on and building up their stocks. This purple-biack Parrot flower is so 
unique and strange we thought we would offer a few to our customers 
but we cannot guarantee delivery of bulbs if ordered after September 
lst. The bulbs are too rare and will be planted by the grower imme- 
diately after that date. 
Violet Queen Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.10, 100 $14.50 
Here we come close to perfection. A flower of remarkable size, colored 
a delicate and beautiful pearly blue. The stem is 27 inches tall and 
carries the flower very gracefully. A rare novelty. 
Collection of Parrot Culips 
Three Bulbs Each, not labeled, of the Eight Varieties 
listed above, not including the “Black Parrot,” for $4.50. 
Many gardeners are not familiar with these flowers so in order 
to give you a chance to see and learn to know them, we offer a 
small collection of 24 bulbs, 3 of each kind, without name. 
The Skipper Each 50c, Six $2.75, Doz. $5.00 
This variety was discovered in a field of Breeder Tulips, Louis. XIV, 
the universal favorite bronze and purple tinted Breeder. The flower 
petals of the The Skipper are slightly cut and lacinated as well as 
have numerous small short spurs growing along their edges. The 
effect is most interesting and attractive as well as unusual. We have 
never seen anything like it before. “The Skipper” is strong grow- 
ing, about 28 inches high and won't fail to draw a lot of attention 
in your garden.
