ARRANGEMENT BY MRS. MYRA BROOKS 
GIL BLAS. (24 inches high). A very rich deeply lustrous creation 
of recent introduction that is a worthy addition to the small 
group of really good dark tulips .The huge flowers of graceful 
proportion are almost black, shaded with highlights of royal 
purple, distinctively enhanced by a clear yellow base. Strong 
stemmed and vigorous. Very unusual. A Van Tubergen origi- 
nation. 
Ea. 30c,  3-65c, —«6-$1.20, 100-$16.50 
12-$2.40, 25-$4.35, 
INDIAN CHIEF, (34 inches high). A superlative Tulip of great size 
on tall stems. The coppery dark mahogany color is flushed with 
an overlay of burnished metallic bronze and illuminated by a 
rosy glow on the inner petals. The substance is extra fine and 
the shade of the flowers most intriguing. One of the most hand- 
some and artistic of all the Breeders. Very tall, bold and majestic. 
3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 25-$3.20, 100-$12.00 
JESSY. (36 inches high). Another fine Van Tubergen introduction 
of faultless form and bearing. Deep clear coffee-brown attrac- 
tively flushed violet and enlivened by a yellow base. An imposing 
flower on a majestic stem. Highly recommended. 
3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 25-$3.20, 100-$12.00

J. J. BOWMAN. (28 inches high). A lovely cup shaded flower of 
luminous claret-red, tomato red, flushed shading to bronzy gold 
at the edges and highlighted by a yellow base. One of Van Tu- 
bergen’s fine new Breeders which we heartily recommend. Su- 
perior in every way. 
3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 
25-$3.20, - 100-$12.00 
LOUIS XIV. (32 inches high). A large, goblet shaped flower of deep 
bluish violet with lighter margins of golden bronze and dull blue 
base. A subtle blending of colors difficult to describe. Very vig- 
orous in growth. Fine for cutting. Sweetly scented. This stately 
tulip expresses ageless beauty and dignity. 
3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 25-$3.20, 100-$12.00 
MADELON. (24 inches high). A fine large bronze, delicately flushed 
with purple, edged with lighter bronze, and offset by a distinct 
yellow base. A great improvement on Golden Bronze. Fine tall 
stems. Van Tubergen origination.
