HIGHEST PEAK OF PERFECTION 
Docal Darwin Culips 
soft yellow, as is Starlight and Helen Gahagan. Among the deeper 
and darker colors, Humming Bird, Queen of the Night, which has 
completely replaced the old La Tulipe Noire, Margaux, Scotch 
Lassie and Mavourneen are outstanding. While last but not least, 
Mrs. Grullemans, Glacier, and Annie Speelman, the purest of white 
Tulips, top the list in that shade. 
The NEW HYBRID IDEAL DARWIN TULIP was created by 
crossing the Ideal Darwin Tulips with Giant Breeder Tulips and the 
New Hybrid Cottage Tulips. They are superb and surprising in 
quality of bloom, as well as vigor of growth. The flowers last even 
longer than those of the Ideal varieties. There is no doubt in our 
mind these new varieties will be ‘“THE’’ popular leaders as soon 
as they are generally available. 
Crimson Giant (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $14.00 
This magnificent new deep crimson-red Tulip will in time replace all 
other kinds of similar color. It produces an immense flower of deep 
crimson-red. Many of our friends who have seen it agree with us that 
it is better, bigger and stronger, and darker and better in color than 
City of Haarlem. Crimson Giant is particularly fine if flowering next 
to a_pure white Tulip such as Glacier. Here is a magnificent new dark 
red Tulip which we recommend without any reservations. 
Cum Laude (New) Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.50, 100 $15.75 
Best described as a deep campanula-violet with a decided blue over- 
tone, edges slightly lighter. Large and broad flower somewhat waved. 
Inside shows a beautiful ivory-white center with shiny lacquered like 
blue halo. It gives one the impression of being the bluest of all (blue) 
Tulips in cultivation. Height 28 inches. 
Deborah (New) Six $1.75, Doz. $3.00, 25 $5.50, 100 $20.00 
Soft Clara-Butt-pink with soft shading, broad pale pink margin. Inside 
vivid Clara-Butt-pink with blue center. A very unusual and very beau- 
tiful long, big, oval flower of tremendous substance on wiry stem. It is 
the most distinct pink Darwin today. We may also say one of the love- 
liest of all Tulips, which, when generally available, will be planted by 
hundreds of thousands. Height 27 inches. 
Drammen (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $13.75 
Outside petals are soft rosy violet, somewhat deeper and more vivid 
inside with clear light blue base and black anthers. A rare coloring in 
Tulips and we consider this one of the best new varieties in this par- 
ticular shade. Height 27 inches. Very long lasting and stands up per- 
fectly under bad weather conditions. Never spots or fades. 
Early Sunrise (New) Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.85, 100 $13.25 
Soft rose-pink with lighter feathering outside petals, bright sparkling 
salmon-pink inside. White base with very attractive blue halo. A large 
flower of great substance, a most desirable variety as good pink Darwin 
Tulips are not plentiful. We think it one of the best of the New Tulips. 
Height 26 inches. 
Elissa Landi (New) Six $1.75, Doz. $3.00, 25 $5.50, 100 $20.00 
Outside petals are Bishop’s purple, slightly lighter at edges; inside of 
bloom is rich purple with pure white center and blue halo. A beautiful 
oval-shaped flower of large size, outstanding in this color. Stem wiry 
and thin. It dominates its surroundings. One of the new ones with a 
great future and one of the finest purple Tulips. Height 29 inches.

Ideal Darwin Tulip, Arabian Night 
Eclipse Six $1.05, Doz. $1.70, 25 $3.00, 100 $11.00 
Dark, rich red Darwins are not too plentiful, and here is one of beautiful 
form, splendid firmness of petal and stem, which would be capital if 
used with Queen of the Night or Glacier. Known to many of us as a most 
valuable flower for the spring enrichment of the border. Eclipse is a 
glowing, dark blood-red flower with a lustrous surface and violet, white- 
margined center. So substantial is its quality that it lasts well through 
the Tulip season. Makes an indescribably brilliant display with white 
Tulips. Height 30 inches. 
Garden Cinderella (New) Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.55, 100 $16.25 
The outside of the flower petals is cerise-red, inside American-Beauty- 
red, edged somewhat lighter; pale: blue base and blue anthers. A brilliant 
variety for the garden, yet a shade of red which does not impose itself 
on other flowers and colors growing nearby. It’s a fine Tulip with oa 
great future. Height 27 inches. 
Glacier Six $1.40, Doz. $2.35, 25 $4.25, 100 $15.50 
A giant among pure white Tulips, white base and white anthers. Tre- 
mendous oval-shaped flower of great substance, will last three weeks in 
the garden or when cut. We do not know of another Tulip its size, 
some of the flower petals measuring six inches in length. This Tulip is 
a gem in any collection. Sturdy, straight stem. Highly recommended. 
Height 30 inches.
