MAUVE, PALE LILAC and BLUE 
This color group is extremely important in de- 
veloping good color harmony. By combining any 
of these varieties such as found in the reds, yel- 
lows, etc. the best of the richer colors are brought 
out, and the harmony of the entire group is 
greatly enhanced. Without the modifying effect 
of these varieties, some of the more brilliantly 
colored types may be too flamboyant. 
On the basis of long experience we have very 
carefully selected only those varieties which are 
absolutely tops from the standpoint of color, size, 
perfection of form, and dependability.

BLEU AIMABLE. (25 inches high). This is one of the real favorites 
with every discriminating gardener. The beautifully formed flow- 
ers are a lovely shade of heliotrope, delicately suffused with steel 
blue. The inside is a slightly deeper shade, with a blue base, 
starred white. A most distinct and attractive floral treasure.

V_ STRAIN #101 
QUEEN OF NIGHT. (30 inches high). The darkest Tulip yet raised, 
a really black Tulip. A rare, beautiful flower on tall, stiff stems 
blooming over a long period. We consider this far superior to 
La Tulipe Noire from the standpoint of color depth. But many 
gardeners still enjoy the unusual beauty and individualistic char- 
acteristics of La Tulipe Noire, so we continue to offer both.
