Rembrandt Tulips 



These are late Tulips, similar to the popular Darwins in season, height 

 and habit of growth, but distinguished by their unusual colors and markings. 

 The ground colors are mostly delicate shades of rose and lavender, striped 

 and splashed in an odd but attractive fashion with darker shades. A bed 

 of Rembrandt Tulips reminds one in color and design of a rich, Oriental

THE NEW TULIPS on pages 1 and 2 are worthy 

 of your attention. The new Darwins, Afterglow, Bleu 

 Aimable, Chant de Cygne, City of Haarlem, Louise 

 de la Valliere and President Taft, and the new Breeder, 

 James Watt, in particular, represent the utmost in 

 Tulips today. 



It will probably be several years before there will 

 be sufficiently large stocks of these Tulips to enable 

 us to offer them at low prices in our general list. In 

 the meantime, we can supply a limited number of 

 extra-select bulbs to those who wish to have the very 

 newest and best sorts in their collections. 



Rembrandt Tulip, Victor Hugo 



Bybloems and Bizarres 



This is an old race of Tulips, supposed to have been derived 

 from the self-colored, old Dutch Breeders. The large (lowers, 

 which open at about the same time as the late Darwins, are 

 carried on tall stems and are beautifully formed. 



The Bybloems are striped and feathered with rose and violet 

 shades on white ground. The Bizarres are feathered brown 

 on yellow ground.
