MAROON-BLACK and BLACK 
LA TULIPE NOIRE. (25 inches high). ‘The Black Tulip” of romance. 
Black-violet flowers with glistening sheen and dark violet center. 
Large, substantial flowers on strong stems. 
3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 25-$3.20, 100-$12.00 
QUEEN OF NIGHT. (30 inches high). The darkest Tulip yet raised, 
a really black Tulip. A rare, beautiful flower on tall, stiff stems 
blooming over a long period. We consider this far superior to 
La Tulipe Noire from the standpoint of color depth. But many 
gardeners still enjoy the unusual beauty and individualistic char- 
acteristics of La Tulipe Noire, so we continue to offer both. 
3-40c, 6-65c, 12-$1.30, 25-$2.45, 100-$9.00 
REV. ROLLO MEYER. (32 inches high). A deep shade of glossy 
mahogany ouside, inside deepest brown-purple. A fine flower on 
tall stems; great lasting qualities. This is to be preferred to Faust. 
3-55c, 6-$1.00, 12-$1.95, 25-$3.60, 100-$13.50 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
ARETHUSA, (28 inches high). (Cottage). A Tulip which will grace 
many situations in the spring garden for its soft unfading cowslip 
yellow is most agreeable to other colors. The flowers are large, of 
exquisite form and the substance leaves nothing to be desired. 
Rather late, fine for cutting. One of our finer introductions, in 
ever increasing demand by American gardeners. Delightful fra- 
grance. 
3-40c, 6-65c, 12-$1.30, 
25-$2.45, 100-$9.00 
BELLE JAUNE. (28 inches high). (Cottage). One of our firm’s latest 
introductions. The large egg-shaped flowers of deep golden yellow 
are borne on stiff stems. A welcome addition to the better yellows. 
3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 25-$3.20, 100-$12.00 
GOLDEN AGE. (28 inches high). Deep Buttercup Yellow. Edges of 
petals gradually flush with soft orange as the flower ages. A very 
distinct and appealing variety in color, size, form and texture. 
Considered one of the best dark yellows, and very long lasting in 
bloom. Van Tubergen origination.

25-$3.20, 100-$12.00 
GOLDEN HARVEST. (30 inches. high). (Cottage). A splendid deep 
lemon yellow Tulip of great substance. Has great carrying power 
and creates a fine showy effect in the garden. 
3-40c, 6-65c, - 12-$1.30, 25-$2.45, 100-$9.00 
GOLDEN MEASURE. (26 inches high). For a brilliant sparkling ray 
of sunshine touched with the red of an evening sunset, there is no 
Tulip to compare with this superb variety. The inside is a rich 
golden yellow, while the outside is a shade lighter; and the entire 
golden effect is exquisitely enhanced with a dainty edge of red. 
Flower is oval in form; ideally.proportioned; and excellent sub- 
stance. Strong straight stems. 
3-50c, 6-85c, 12-$1.65, 
25-$3.05, 100-$11.25 
INGLESCOMBE YELLOW. (22 inches high). (Cottage). Probably one 
of the most popular yellow Tulips of all time. A fine clear yellow 
shading to orange-red as it ages. Beautiful underbedded with 
bright blue Pansies. 
3-40c, 6-65c, 12-$1.30, 
25-$2.45, 100-$9.00 
MRS. JOHN T. SCHEEPERS. (30 inches high). (Cottage). Our firm 
considers the 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 clear- 
est yellow with a substance like parchment and fine lasting qual- 
ity. Every part of the plant, foliage, stem and blossom is of the 
strongest development and an enormous improvement on older 
varieties. Has won highest awards. 
3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 
25-$3.20, 100-$12.00 
MONGOLIA. (30 inches high). (Cotiage). 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. aie: 
3-50c, 6-90c, 25-$3.20, 100-$1200 
NIPHETOS. (28 inches high). Soft, delicate yellow flowers of perfect 
form with a slight graceful recurving of the outer petals. It is 
undoubtedly the finest yellow Tulip in existence, and one of the 
most beautiful we have had the pleasure of growing. Long 
blooming period. A perfect harmonizer in any color scheme. 
3-40c, 6-65c, 12-$1.30, 25-$2.45, 100-$9.00 
SUNKIST. (30 inches high). This magnificent creation originated 
and introduced by Van Tubergen is the triumphant climax of 
more than a century of breeding to produce a pure yellow Dar- 
win Tulip without any variation of shade or tone, and without 
a trace of any secondary color. The flowers are pure golden yel- 
low of brilliant hue, rather long and graceful in form, with such 
excellent petal substance that they easily survive adverse weather 
without damage. Very long lasting. Tall, majestic and handsome.
