SUNDEW—A NEW FRINGED TULIP A glowing scarlet flower, cup-shaped, on a tall swaying stem,—in size and shape Sundew is a true Darwin. But Sundew has some Parrot blood, and so the outer edges of its petals are daintly slashed and fringed. You will be charmed with the pe- culiar beauty of this unusual tuhp. It is as easily grown as any other tulip. Group a dozen or more bulbs where the blossoms will show to advantage against a back- ground of dark green, lie each; 90c per dozen; $6.50 per 100. LILY-FLOWERING TULIPS The Lily-flowering Tulips also bloom in late spring. They are the result of crossing Tulipa Reflexa with a pink Darwin. The pointed petals curve outward, and the blossoms are carried on stems that are strong and tall. Pinks, yellows, creams, and whites,—the colors are in keeping with the delicate beauty of this tulip's form. Eclipse Orange yellow flushed with rose or pink, lie each; 90c per dozen; $7.00 per 100. Sirene 24 in. Rich cerise pink with paler pink at the margins of the petals. Pure white base. A lovely flower, lie each; 90e per dozen; $6.50 per 100.
