YELLOW VARIETIES 
A superb selection of the gayest, most lovely 
yellow varieties. Each one carefully chosen for 
individual distinctiveness, as well as purity of 
color, excellence of substance perfection of form 
and dependable habits. 
A balanced proportion of good yellow varieties, 
along with other colors, is essential for good 
color harmony in garden displays or in cut 
flower arrangements. 
V_ STRAIN #103 
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.

BELLE JAUNE. (28 inches high). (Cottage). One of the finest of the 
deep yellows. Not from the standpoint of size, but because of its 
exceptional color and perfection of form. The flowers are rela- 
tively large in a lovely oval form; of deep golden yellow with pure 
yellow anthers, borne on tall, strong stems. One of Van Tuber- 
gen’s latest introductions, and a very welcome addition to the 
better yellows.

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. Very fragrant.

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.

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.

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. 
Van Tubergen origination.
