This magnificent May-flowering class has within the past few years by sheer force of their many merits forged their way to popu- larity by leaps and bounds, and are now grown by almost every- body who loves spring flowers; they are quite distinct in style of growth from the other late-flowering sorts; stately in appear- ance, attaining a height of 24 to 30 inches, and bearing on long strong straight stems beautiful globular flowers of remarkably heavy texture, in a large range of colors, embracing almost every conceivable tint in rose, heliotrope, claret, maroon, crim- son and other rich and rare shades. The only color in which they are deficient is yellow, and for this the May flowering Tulip Inglescombe Yellow, as well as the other yellow sorts, offered on page 13, supplies the wanted color perfectly. Unsurpassed for bedding and for cutting, and most of the varieties can be forced into bloom in March without much trouble. At the National Flower Show, held in Philadelphia, March 25th to April 2nd, 1916, we exhibited a number of pans of these in bloom, which attracted the attention and admiration of thousands of visitors. The twenty-four sorts listed below, and on the page following, have been selected out of a large collection as being the best and most distinct. Qretchen, or Margaret. The large globular flowers are of a deli- cate blush-pink on the outside, inside soft rose; a very popular variety for cutting. 30 cts. per doz.; $ per 100; $ per 1000. Harry Veitch. Brilliant blood-red, shaded with brownish maroon; large flowers of splendid form; a fine bedder. 40 cts. per doz.; $ per The Famous Dafwin Tulip, Clara Butt Ari
