Rembrandt Tulips 



Certain broken Darwins are now classed as Rembrandt Tulips, 

 and the best varieties seem likely to attain a moderate share of 

 the popularity which all the Late Tulips now enjoy. For garden 

 purposes these striped forms have an oddity of character in which 

 there are positive decorative possibilities. If kept by themselves, 

 or used with the rose and violet Bybloems, in the seclusion of 

 some hedging or evergreens, and planted in groups of about 

 twenty-five bulbs, the Rembrandts will prove to retain the 

 quaint fascination which they must have had in the bygone days, 

 when the passion for these broken forms ruled in the old gardens 

 of northern France. Several varieties are well adapted to pot 

 culture, though it is probable that they will appear to best 

 advantage in outdoor situations. 



Rembrandt Tulips require the same cultural treatment as the 

 EXarwins.
