BIGGEST—Brightest Red—Earliest Flowering 
B6117—This tulip has everything. It is the earli- 
est to bloom, has the most brilliant color, and is 
the largest in size of all the tulips. 
If we could grow just one tulip, this would be 
it. If you have grown them, you know why. 
Plant them on each side of the front steps, or a 
whole bed of them. You'll really have something 
to show. People will see them from a block away.

that the Floribundas give great masses of blooms from spring

HENRY 
FIELD’S 
Long-Lived— Disease-Resistant 
If you want shade in a hurry, yet want a tree that 
is hardy, long-lived, and hardwooded, Henry Field’s 
Hybrid Elm is the tree for you. It combines the per- 
manence and beauty of the American Elm with the 
rapid growth of the Chinese Elm. It has all the good 
points of both elms, but none of the bad. 
Henry Field’s Hybrid Elm is extra hardy—it keeps 
right on growing in weather hot or cold, wet or dry. 
The leaves are large and dark green, much like the 
foliage of the American Elm. The bark is smooth and 
of medium gray color. The branches grow straight 
and strong; have great resistance to breakage from 
high winds, ice, and snow. 
And apparently Henry Field’s Hybrid Elm is im- 
mune to Dutch Elm disease. We have sold several 
hundred thousand of these trees during the past ten 
years, and to date know of not one 
case of Dutch Elm disease with a 
Henry Field Hybrid Elm. 
Henry Field’s Hybrid Elms grow 
so fast in our nursery rows that they 
get too big to ship by parcel post, so 
we ship them by express, already 
pruned for planting.

BUNCH-F 
B6029—This is a new we : 
tulip from Holland. It is 
bunch-flowered, having an 
average of 5 blossoms per 
stem. Each flower opens a soft 
yellow, quickly deepens, and 
then there appear stripes and 
bands of vivid orange-red. 
A bed of them makes a re- 
markable riot of color; you, 
and your friends, will marvel 
at it. By cutting the stem 
low, the flowers of just one 
plant make a nice natural 
flower arrangement. And sev- 
eral make a real bouquet.
