SINGLE TULIPS ChildV Gorgeous Tulips DOUBLE' TULIPS There is no question but that the Tulip is the most popular spring" flower that grows. The sort, seductive breezes have scarce whispered in our ears that spring is at hand ere our eyes, wearied by winter's dull, sombre, lifeless tints, are dazzled by a sudden blaze of Tulips in rainbow shades, ribboning the earth with warmth and color. From the first Due Van Thol, scarce peeping above the ground, to the last Gesneriana Tulip, holding its flaming cup high aloft, there is a constant succession of Tulip beauties — single, double, dwarf, tall, early, medium and late, with blossoms cup-shaped, star-formed, bowl-like, Peony-floAvered, imbricated like a Rose, twisted, waved and horned, like the plumage of some fantastic bird. No garden can be complete without plenty of Tulips. Have some of all kinds, they are so cheap. Our Tulips are all select large bulbs that will be sure to give magnificent results.
