All extra large bulbs. Braiding T^lip. This Tulip has the remarkable quality of sending up two or three flower steins from each bulb, each stem branching and bearing two or three blossoms, so that five to eight flow- ers are produced from one bulb. As it is very rare for-a Tulip to produce more than one flower, the value of this sort is at once apparent, The flowers are good large size and a dark, deep cardinal red with a border of old go d around eaeh petal which gives the flower a distinct and very at- tractive appearance. It is an early bloomer and forces finely when planted in pots for winter blooming, and is a most showy sort for the garden. Certainly one of the finest law bulbs we ever offered. 10c, each; 3 for 20c.; 12 for 75c.
