Bybloemen Tulips 



Like the Bizarre varieties, these tulips were evolved at the 

 time of the Tulipomania which swept Holland and neighbor- 

 ing European countries early in the seventeenth century. They 

 have been grown and sold quite largely in European countries 

 ever since, and to a lesser extent in America; but are considered 

 by many to be too gay for large plantings. 



Nevertheless, for indoor decoration, in the month of May 

 when tliey bloom, their vivid and contrasting colors are very 

 welcome. For outdoor borders, and for planting among the 

 perennials, there is nothing better; as they impart gay colorin.s 

 much wanted at that time. 



The "Rose" Bybloemen tulips are those marked with crim 

 son. rose, pink and scarlet on a white ground, and the "Violet" 

 Bybloemen are those marked with blue, purple and violet also 

 on a white ground. 



They flower at the same time as the Darwin and Breeder 

 varieties, and the culture is the same; but the stems are not so 

 long. (See. illustration.)

Rembrandt Tulips 



These late or May-flowering garden tulips form a new class 

 of stately beauty. They are in reality Darwin Tulips which 

 have "broken" into permanent variegations — the flower,- o! 

 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 Rembrandts are very effective planted 

 in groups in the herbaceous or shrubbery border and will re- 

 main 3 or 4 years witliout replanting. The cultural directions 

 given for Darwin Tulips apply to these. (See illustration.)
