 their form and substance, their rich, brilliant colors, their long, straight, stiff stems, the persistence of their blooming period and their 

 adaptability either to outdoor growing or forcing under glass. Most of the varieties may easily be forced indoors by mid-winter or the end of 

 February. 



For permanent outdoor culture plant the bulbs G inches deep in light soil and 4 or 5 inches in heavy soil.

Breeder Tulips 



Old Dutch self colored Tulips which have been neglected 

 for many years. The present taste for artistic colors has, 

 however, called them into prominence once more. Nature's 

 happiest color combinations of Purple and Bronze, Grey and 

 Lilac, Yellow and Bronze, Brown and Orange, are revealed 

 to us in this group. The flowers are mostly large, but of 

 perfect form and are borne on tall, strong stems. These Tulips 

 have the same height, size and time of flowering as the Dar- 

 wins.
