SCARLET, RED and ROSE RED 
The boldest and most brilliant Darwin and 
Cottage Tulips in existence; carefully selected 
for purity of color, substance, form and impres- 
siveness. 
Vs STRAIN #75 
ADVANCE. (30 inches high). (Cottage). Wonderful new hybrid of 
a Cottage Tulip and the rare exotic Tulip Species “Greigi”. The 
color is a dazzling luminous scarlet-red, providing as brilliant a 
splash of color in the garden as an Oriental Poppy. Deep in 
center a glistening black base which enhances the glowing quali- 
ties of the red. It is one of the most beautiful Tulips ever raised 
—created and introduced by our firm C. G. Van Tubergen. The 
large flowers are beautifully formed, held majestically aloft on 
tall, strong stems. Actually the stems are better than the best of 
any Darwins, and flower petals are longer than any Darwin except 
Glacier and Rosy Wings. It is the first Cottage Tulip to flower, 
starting about two weeks before all others, but continuing to 
bloom throughout the regular season. 
3-60c 6-$1.05 12-$2.05 
V_ STRAIN #76 
BREEZAND. (28 inches high). A very rich and colorful offspring of 
the world famous City of Haarlem (described below). The lovely 
luminous shade of bright geranium lake red is enhanced by a jet 
black base bordered with golden yellow. Splendid flowers of fine 
proportions. 
3-50c 6-90c 
V_ STRAIN #77 
CHARLES NEEDHAM. (26 inches high). A flaming scarlet of such 
brilliance and dominance that it is best displayed in company with 
other pure white or pure yellow Darwins. Flowers are of large 
size, superbly formed, and majestically carried on stiff straight 
stems. Of extreme importance is that the color holds exceptionally 
well in the sunshine. Van Tubergen origination. 
3-55c 6-$1.00 12-$1.95 25-$3.60 
V_ STRAIN #78 
CITY OF HAARLEM. (27 inches high). Another brilliant masterpiece 
that is more of a deep blood-red. When the flower is fully open 
this rich color is enhanced by a dark violet base outlined in white. 
A very reliable and much admired Darwin of striking beauty. 
3-60c 6-$1.05 12-$1.90 25-$3.50 100-$13.05 
V_ STRAIN #80 
ECLIPSE. (30 inches high). This noble monarch completes the group 
of Darwins which we consider the finest of the rich red shades. 
Eclipse is a magnificent personality of glowing blood-red, with a 
lovely lustre; and a center of violet frosted with white. Its splen- 
did form and substance is a delight to everyone, and it is so 
durable that it blooms through most of the Tulip season. 
3-50c 6-90c 12-$1.75 25-$3.20 100-$12.00 
V_STRAIN #81 
FARNCOMBE SANDERS. (28 inches high). Here is a dependable fa- 
vorite of brilliant cardinal red, with a handsome white base, which 
has really stood the test of time. Because of its rich coloring, per- 
fect form, strong tall stems, and relative permanence in the gar- 
den, it is one of the best known varieties throughout the country. 
Although a most beautiful and showy garden variety, it is also 
one of the leading varieties for late forcing indoors.

V_ STRAIN #82 
FIRESIDE, (22 inches high). (Cottage). An unusually showy variety 
for gardeners who desire bold, vivid effects in the garden. The 
well formed flowers are flamed with brilliant red against a pure 
yellow background — almost Wagnerian in its intensity. Good 
strong, straight stems, and dependable in every way. A fine sport 
from Inglescombe Yellow. 
3-50c 6-85c 12-$1.65 
V STRAIN #84 
GLORIA SWANSON. (30 inches high). An enormous crimson-red 
flower with bluish base. Long lasting flower on a very strong 
stem. A stunning variety.

25-$3.05 100-$11.25 
100-$10.15 
V STRAIN #127 
MARGEAUX. (30 inches high). Very lovely, stimulating shade of 
deep wine-red, feathering to a broad light edge. The tremendous, 
oval-shaped flowers are about the same size as Charles Needham, 
borne on strong, stiff stems. Very attractive dependable variety 
with long lasting qualities. One of the largest of this group. 
3-55c 6-$1.00 12-$1.75 25-$3.20 100-$12.00 
Vs STRAIN #128 
MARSHALL HAIG. (26 inches high). (Cottage). Colorful, showy va- 
riety of flaming scarlet with a glittering red interior and a soft 
yellow base. Ranks well above the average in size, heavy petal 
substance and perfection of form. 
3-50c 6-85c¢ 12-$1.65 
V_ STRAIN #129 
NEW ORLEANS. (28 inches high). Very unusual variety in color, 
quite unlike any other red Darwin or Cottage Tulip. A luscious 
Plum-red, shading into rich dark crimson, with an interior of 
mahogany-red and a soft blue base. Good strong stems and de- 
pendable in every way. 
3-45c 6-75c 
V_ STRAIN #86 
PRIDE OF HAARLEM. (26 inches high). A bold and noble Tulip of 
cerise-scarlet with blue base. Fine stems. One of the best for 
bedding but not suitable for forcing. 
3-40c 6-70c 12-$1.35 100-$9.45 
Vs STRAIN #130 
SCARLET LEADER. (29 inches high). Fine bright red, attractively 
shaded with deep blood red. Huge, well formed flowers with 
broad, thick petals of excellent substance set on a base of bronze, 
edged white. Goblet shaped, set on tall straight, strong stems. A 
superior variety which has replaced the former old favorite Prof. 
Rauwenhof. Striking, showy subject for the garden.
