“Last year you sent us 
Praestans Fusilier as a pot- 
latch. They were the most 
beautiful tlowers we had 
among our spring bloom and 
they attracted a great deal of 
attention. The little corner 
was simply a blaze of red and 
they lasted so long. Thank 
you for making us acquainted 
with them. We tried the 
BABY GLADS last year and 
with a heavy mulch they 
came through the winter fine. \ 
The Nymph was as beautiful / 
as any orchid... We owe so 
much of our spring joy to 
you. Thanks.”

(Page 19) 
PRINCESS MARY. 28”. Beautiful rose pink, stately habit 
and fine form. Good size and considered one of the 
loveliest tulips in cultivation. 
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT. 28” Deep velvet maroon. Larger 
than any we have seen in the so-called ‘“‘black”’ tulips. 
Even foliage has a dark cast overall. It has replaced 
Le Tulipe Noire in our garden. An outstanding variety 
and one you will be well pleased with if you like “‘black”’ 
ones. 
SCARLET LEADER. (D). Its name expresses its appear- 
ance perfectly. Color is a beautiful fiery scarlet with 
black center. Has great substance with tall, strong 
and stiff stems. A true leader. 
SCOTCH LASSIE. (D). Purest lilac-lavender with a 
darker shade inside; base dark blue. Flowers are very 
large and slightly reflexing; one of the best in this 
color. 
THE PEACH. Egg-shaped flower in a fine rose-pink 
color; dark pollen. 
WHITE ENSIGN. White lily-flowering. Nice. 
All Mayflowering Tulips Priced at 3 for 40c (one variety) ;
