MAYFLOWERING TULIPS 
(Darwin and Cottage) 
The Darwin and Cottage tulips have been cross- 
hybridized so much in recent years that it is no longer 
possible to distinguish between the two types. We are, 
therefore, listing the Darwin and Cottage tulips under 
one heading of Mayflowering. We believe it will be easier 
and less confusing for you to choose the varieties you 
prefer. The Breeders, as they run mostly to bronze shades, 
are being listed separately. 
The May garden is a dull place without tulips. Their 
varied bloom of many shapes and colors work in excep- 
tionally well with other border plantings. When planting 
tulips in clumps through the border, plant them nine 
inches deep and they can stay put for several years. The 
blooms will be larger and bloom over a longer period of 
years without having to be disturbed. The warmer the 
climate, the deeper they should be planted. 
All Mayflowering tulips priced at 3 for 40c (one va- 
riety); 12 for $1.35.

ADVANCE. (C). 32”. So large and tall is hard to 
recognize this one as a Cottage tulip. One of the 
earliest in its class, the color is a striking glossy scar- 
let inside, with a softer rosy scarlet outside and over- 
laid with a dusky, bluish sheen. A flower hard to 
describe, but very popular. 
ARISTOCRAT. 31”. This is a magnificent garden tulip 
of recent introduction, robust habit and extremely 
strong constitution. Large clear rose flowers of great 
size and splendid carriage; truly an aristocrat among 
giants. 
BARBARA PRATT. 32”. Radiant cherry pink with an 
extraordinary effect of golden light shining through 
it. Of recent origin and a very popular variety. 
BELLE JAUNE. 28”. One of the finest of the deep yel- 
low tulips; the egg-shaped blossoms are perfect in form. 
Outside petals are deep golden yellow, inside spar- 
kling yellow of a lighter tone; pure yellow anthers. 
Stems strong and tall. You’ll like it.

BEVERLY. 28”. (Lily flowering.) Flame orange flower 
on strong stems. Excellent for cutting; very popular in 
our planting and highly recommended.

BLANCA, 22”. Ivory white, medium large flower, excel- 
lent for bedding or pot culture as they do not grow too 
tall. Can be planted in front of taller varieties. 
CHARLES NEEDHAM. 30”. Possibly one of the best 
brilliant red Darwin tulips yet introduced. The large 
well-formed flowers are carried on strong stems. Fine 
for exhibition. 
COLUMBINE. Here is a tulip that is unique; bright yel- 
low with a center line of scarlet dividing each petal; 
no other red featherings. 
DEMETER. 28”. Deep violet-blue. Large flower 
shows up well in the garden if you like its color. 
earliness is welcome, being much earlier than 
Darwins.

GOLDEN HARVEST. 28”. This outstanding new tulip is 
a lovely shade of soft yellow with ivory anthers. The

INSURPASSABLE. 28”. The color of this one is orchid 
lavender with white center and purplish pollen. Its 
unusual size, plus great substance and beauty make 
it very desirable for exhibition purposes. It is, also, a 
good forcer. 
JUBILEE. Rich pansy violet with purple shade. 
tall, with strong stem. 
MARCELIELINA. 26”. One of the nicest of the lily flower- 
ing. Graceful, long, deep rose pink flower which is

opening is a lovely combination of salmon and orange 
shades, which become pale rose when flower develops. 
Very beautiful.

MARSHAL HAIG. 32”. Bright orange-red, with wide base 
of rich yellow. A giant flower that stands out above 
most others in the field and makes a fine splash of color. 
MONGOLIA. (C). Enormous oval shaped flowers of a 
fine shade of canary yellow that are held on strong, 
stiff stems. This is decidedly one or the largest tulips 
in cultivation. Really an outstanding novelty. 
MOUNT EREBUS. 30”. Very fine snow white. Extra fine 
texture of bloom and good all purpose variety. 
MRS. JOHN T. SCHEEPERS,. (C). 30”. Another giant 
among tulips. Color pure yellow with yellow anthers. 
Flowers are oval shaped on sturdy stems. Recom- 
mended.

duction with lovely flowers of soft creamy yellow, yel- 
low anthers and base. Long petals of good substance 
and durability. 
OSSI OSWALDA. Cream color, with rose pink picotee 
edges, and after a few days the entire flower becomes 
suffused with the rose pink. Very effective planted in 
groups in front of dark evergreens. Black pollen; me- 
dium height. 
PICOTEE. 20”. Opens white, but the beautifully re- 
flexed pointed petals soon become margined with 
bright pink. Exceptionally dainty. 
PRIDE OF ZWANENBERG. (D). 28”. Very much ad- 
mired here at Floravista. Salmon rose in color, with 
a narrow edge of blush rose towards margin of petals. 
Large flowers on very strong stems.
