She World’ 
Finest Sulips 
On the preceding pages and those that follow, 
you will have found the last word in Tulips. Many 
are shown in actual color which in many cases 
does not do them justice; it is practically impos- 
sible to reproduce completely accurately the lovely 
colors of all these new varieties. Neither does 
space permit us to show them all life size. All 
those listed are the finest in their particular shade. 
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 finest and 
most beautiful Tulips obtainable anywhere in the 
world. 
When planting Tulip bulbs, try to avoid setting 
them in rows. It is not possible to enjoy them to 
full advantage if planted in that manner. The 
most satisfactory and colorful results are obtained 
when they are grown in small clumps of six or a 
dozen bulbs each. Observe the example in the 
two illustrations to the left. Additional pleasure 
and beauty are gained by planting a few low 
growing early spring flowering hardy plants in 
close proximity to the bulbs. In the illustrations 
to the left blue Phlox Canadensis was used. Other 
color effects can be had by using the Double 
White Arabis or the white Iberis. If yellow should 
be desired, we suggest Alyssum Citrinum and if 
the location is somewhat shady, we suggest the 
blue Ajuga Genevensis.
