THE EMPEROR'S RELATIVES 
eee 
Everyone who gardens is familiar with what is very likely the world’s most popular tulip, RED EMPEROR. The huge, 
flaming red flowers of this very early flowering tulip are found in nearly every garden in the nation. Many gardeners do 
not know that other hybrids of Tulip Fosteriana (one of the parents of Red Emperor) are just as exciting and are now becom- 
ing available to gardeners. Blooming at the same time as Red Emperor, and available in a variety of shades from creamy 
white, through pinks, and red and yellow combinations, and with flowers of approximately the same size, these new creations 
bid well to acquire fame equal to the Red Emperor himself. Try a few and surprise yourself and your neighbors with these 
amazing new tulips. This year we are listing ten in addition to the Red Emperor.

white interior and a yellow base. Shades of apple blos-
