° DELIGH) 
SCARLET DELIGHT 
Nature well knows our fascination for the color red — 
see her gaudy sunsets, her autumn woodlands, and 
now — the flamboyant shockingly-brilliant Scarlet 
Delight Tulip. Its bowl-shaped bloom will delight your 
garden, indeed, with its splash of flaming color. A tall, 
sturdy, early-flowering bloom. About 24” tall. 
FBI4S9 14 for $1.00; 28 for $1.98; 100 for $6.79 
DIDO 
An old Greek legend alive in your garden! Dido, 
famed and lovely Carthage queen, stabbed her- 
self when the youthful Aeneas proved disinter- 
ested in her charms. Warm rosy pink petals 
touched with soft salmon that deepens to apricot, 
makes this a collector's item in your Tulip 
Garden. 30” tall and fragrant.

CARRARA 
Named Carrara because its blooms are reminiscent of 
famous Carrara marble — a gleaming alabaster white! 
Each bloom is a standard of excellence for any other 
May-flowering Tulip in your garden. Its yellow anthers 
insure against spotting or staining; it reaches a tower- 
ing height of 29”. Most popular of all the white 
Giant Tulips!

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

robed in royalty’s colors — her flaring goblets are 
a deep rich maroon. And they're as soft to touch as 
any regal robe of velvet. Blooming in May, she com- 
mands a majestic height of 29”. A bit like the familiar 
Black Tulip but much, much finer.
