TULIPS FOR THE HARDY BORDER 
GOOOD PERFORMERS 
/ 
IN YOUR GARDEN 
SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
An old favorite race of tulips in great demand. While 
these are not as long stemmed as other types, they are 
especially desirable to lengthen the tulip blooming season 
as they flower about two weeks before the Cottage and 
Darwin types. They start coming into bloom with the 
daffodils, or soon after. They are also fine for early 
forcing. 
All Single Early Tulips priced at 3 for 40c (one vari- 
ety); 12 for $1.35. 
DE WET (Fireglow). A lovely warm orange, flushed and 
stippled brighter orange. Flowers sweet-scented; good 
forcer. 
KREIZERSKROON (Grand Duc). 15”. 
scarlet deeply edged golden yellow. Very early to 
bloom and a large flower of striking color. This 
is a very popular tulip and we are fortunate to have 
an excellent stock of this variety again. 
Bright carmine- 
IBIS. A very fine deep rose, edged silvery rose. A favorite 
pink for forcing. 
PELICAN. A large, pure white of great substance.

BREEDER TULIPS 
Breeders are tall, their colors are dignified, mostly 
purples, browns, bronzes, reddish-orange shades and the 
like. These are only outward appearances, for inside 
their fragrant cups are an unsuspected sparkle, gloss and 
glitter. Many of them are very long lasting in the garden 
and offer unusual possibilities for cutting. 
ADMIRAL TROMP. 30”. A bright orange-red, shaded 
salmon-orange, a lovely color. Large bloom of splendid 
substance; a typical breeder color and form. 
CHERBOURG. Undoubtedly one of the finest breeder 
tulips. A deep tone of golden yellow with a suffusion 
of terra-cotta, the deeper tone of yellow growing 
stronger toward the edges of the petals. 
JESSIE. Clear, rather deep coffee brown flushed bronze, 
yellow base. A glorified tone of the well known Louis 
XIV. A magnificent large flower held on a tall stiff 
stem; sweet scented. 
GEORGE GRAPPE. A fine novelty of a soft mauve 
throughout with a clear blue base. A large flower on 
long, stiff stem. 
TANTALUS. 30”. A recent introduction of great merit, 
producing cup-shaped flowers of pale cadmium yellow, 
shaded dull violet. Base dark yellow, anthers black. 
An outstanding exhibition tulip. 
All above Breeder tulips priced at 3 (any one variety) 
for 40c; 12 for $1.40. 
CHERBOURG (Breeder) 
TULIP FIRE BLIGHT 
Tulips are very susceptible to a fungus disease called 
Botrytis or Fire Blight. If bulbs are planted where no 
tulips have grown for three or more years, there is little 
cause to worry. However, if the tulip foliage is damaged 
at any time, you are inviting this disease. If the kids 
and dogs take a short cut through your tulip bed, or the 
calf gets loose and runs through them, or even raking, 
hoeing, hail or anything else damages the leaves it is apt 
to start this “fire’’ blight. A little precaution will pay 
big dividends in choice blooms.
