They are in reality Darwin tulips which have "broken" into permanent varie- gations—the flowers of various rich colors being striped, blotched and marked with different shades and colors. The flowers, large, of perfect form and lasting substance, are borne on sturdy stems about two feet in height. These Rem- brandts are very effective planted in groups in the herbaceous or shrubbery border and will remain 3 or 4 years without replanting. Choice Mixed Varieties 80c per doz.; $6.00 per 100 We can supply individual bulbs of varieties described above at one-tenth of the dozen price. TULIPS SIX FASCINATING TYPES THAT MERIT A PLACE IN EVERY GARDEN PARROT OR DRAGON TULIPS Fantasy. This is a sport from Clara Butt, the well known Darwin tulip. Esteemed for its beautiful salmon pink color; and Fantasy has inherited the same glorious color; each petal being elaborately laciniated is marked very distinctly in the center with a streak of apple-green; the height is 20 inches. This variety is also suitable for growing in pots or pans of soil in the window, attracting great attention wherever exhibited. Price, 12c each; $1.25 per doz.; $9.00 per 100.

CHOICE MIXED VARIETIES, per 1000. 60c per doz.; $4.50 per 100; $42.50 TRIUMPH TULIPS These represent the greatest improvement in Tulips since the Darwin race was introduced. They are hybrids of the Single Early and Darwin sorts and bloom between the Single Early and the Late Flowering Cottage, Breeder and Darwin types.
