been sculptured out of snowy Italian 
marble. Robust growth and a height 
of 29 inches at blooming time. Groups 
of white tulips planted in association 
with other tulips add immeasurably 
to the overall effect and show each

SCARLET DELIGHT 
Reddest of all red tulips — shock- 
ingly brilliant and amazingly vigor- 
ous. Scarlet Delight has everything 
else in keeping with its bold color. 
Huge blooms of elegant form — tall 
stout stems and strong upstanding 
blue-green foliage. Scarlet Delight 
opens a few days earlier than most 
of the Darwins and its splendid sub- 
stance makes it one of the longest 
lasting tulips in your garden.

trast against a white fence or wall. 
Use in groups to accent the pinks, 
lavenders and whites.

strong 18 inch stems start blooming in mid- 
April. Fireglow also has a record for persisting 
many years.
