Old Dutch Breeder MAY FLOWERING GARDEN TULIPS 
The vogue for this glorious type of the large late May flowering Tulips is gaining 
great impetus, through the introduction of many of the exquisite new varieties, de- 
scribed in the list below. 
The Old Dutch Breeder Tulips appeal to all tulip lovers on account of their sturdi- 
ness, large size, and beautiful “‘art colors.’’ In size they even outrival the popular 
Darwins. Under favorable conditions many sorts will grow over two and one-half 
feet high and bear enormous flowers of ideal form and great substance. 
The colors of these tulips are most fascinating; including solid art colors (such as 
bronze, brown, buff, terra cotta) as well as many combinations of colors that are unsur- 
passably beautiful. 
When planting the bulbs in the garden, they should be spaced about 5 inches apart 
and covered from 4 to 6 inches depending upon the nature of the soil 
They may also be flowered in pots or pans of soil or fibre in the house in winter if 
brought in from the cold frame or out-door plunge before the middle of January and =z 
then grown on cool and slowly in a temperature of about 60° The early flowering ones y 
—those marked F and G—will then flower in February and March—the later ones od 
requiring a little more time. Too much heat is apt to cause them to grow spindling = 
and inferior. iad

Triumph Tulips 
Triumph Tulips originated from crosses between Darwin and Early Tulips continued 
over a number of years, and are therefore the results of much painstaking effort by the 
breeders. They are sturdy and strong growers and have large and heavy flowers on 
strong stems. They bloom from one to two weeks ahead of the Darwin Tulips.
