Giant Nawvyin Tulips VARIETIES 
“Flood the garden with beauty.” 
A vigorous race of self-colored 
flowers, distinguished by their 
strong and tall stems and their 
shapely flowers. To all intents and 
purposes they are “Breeder Tu- 
lips.” They flower simultaneously 
with the Breeder, Cottage and Hy- 
brid Tulips during the month of 
May, with the exception of far 
southern sections, where they 
bloom during April. 
The varieties named in our list 
have been specially selected as be- 
ing distinct, showy, and beautiful. 
Unsatisfactory varieties have been 
eliminated, so that you need have 
no hesitation in choosing the col- 
ors you require, as all are good. 
ALWINA. To those who are familiar with that ever 
popular variety Clara Butt, we can say that Alwina has 
all the fine characteristics as it is a seedling of this 
famous variety. Delightful globular flower of deep pure 
pink. Highly valued in the garden, on the exhibition 
table and for cutting. Height, 29 inches. $1.55 for 10; 
$13.00 per 100. See illustration, Color Guide. 
ANNIE SPEELMAN. One of the most pleasing of the 
white Darwin tulips. An enormous flower of the purest 
white with white base and anthers. It opens at first in a 
delicate cream white, turning with age into a pure white. 
The flower has long-lasting quality and is carried on a 
straight, perfect stem. Height, 30 inches. $1.55 for 10; 
$13.00 per 100. 
BLUE GEM. A most lovely association of violet and rosy 
heliotrope will be found in this new variety. Extra large 
oval blooms with strong, stiff stems. Plant with “Mrs. 
John T. Scheepers” or “Alaska” for finest effect or a 
ground planting of yellow Pansies to bring out the beau- 
tiful tones. Height, 28 inches. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 
100. See illustration, Color Guide. 
BLUE PERFECTION. A Tulip of great charm with its 
enormous pale hortense-violet flowers. The cups are very 
deep and wide with generously overlapping petals. A 
pleasing color contrast may be obtained by planting 
this variety near Rosa Hugonis with Alyssum saxatile, 
var. citrinum as a ground cover planting. Height, 28 
inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. See illustration, 
Color Guide. 
CITY OF HAARLEM. A dependable, handsome Darwin 
of great substance and of fiery cardinal-red. The deep 
violet base of this Tulip, outlined in white, gives it a 
striking effect when open. It is admirably at home among 
all the lighter-colored spring flowers, such as the hardy 
alyssum “Silver Queen,” with gay effects in the garden 
or border. Height, 31 inches. $1.55 for 10; $13.00 per 
100. 
CLARA BUTT. Lovely pure pink Tulip that should be 
in quantity in every garden; of a delightful color that 
will go with most anything. In some lights an elusive soft 
salmon suffusion in this fine flower adds to the interest 
of this beautiful blossom. Would make a striking effect 
massed against purple Barberry. Height, 28 inches. $1.35 
for 10; $11.00 per 100. 
CUM LAUDE. Deep campanula-violet large broad flower 
that is samewhat waved; ivory-white center. Good strong 
stem and long lasting flower either when cut or in the 
garden. Height, 30 inches. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
DUKE OF WELLINGTON. A delightful pure white 
flower of good form and character with cream anthers 
and base. The large flowers have fine lasting qualities 
and are carried on a good stem. This chaste, noble Tulip 
is considered one of the finest of all white Tulips. It has 
a round cup which, for purity of color and perfection of 
texture, is not to be seen elsewhere. There is no colored 
base; the Tulip is the purest white throughout except for 
soft violet anthers and greenish white stigma. Height, 
32 inches. $1.55 for 10; $13.00 per 100. 
ECLIPSE. Dark, rich red Darwins are not too common, 
but here is one of beautiful form, splendid firmness of 
petal and stem, which would be capital if used with “La 
Tulipe Noire,” a Tulip long known to many of us as a 
most valuable flower for the spring enrichment of the 
border. “Eclipse” is a glowing, dark blood-red flower 
with a lustrous surface and violet, white-margined center. 
So substantial is its quality that it lasts well through the 
Tulip season. Height, 30 inches. $1.55 for 10; $13.00 
per 100. See illustration, Color Guide. 
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE. One of the most beautiful 
introductions in the bright colorings. Radiant vermilion- 
red; the flower almost seems to have been coated with 
lacquer it is so bright. Fine broad flower and strong 
stem, long lasting. Highly recommended. We are pleased 
to be able to offer at a greatly reduced price. Height, 
29 inches. $2.00 for 10; $17.50 per 100.
