W HAT, it is confidently believed, is the largest 
collection of Darwin and Breeder Tulips ever 
brought together in one place in this country 
was planted last fall in the New York Botani- 
cal Garden; and thus an unparalleled oppor- 
tunity is afforded all interested in the Tulip to visit the display 
this season and make comparisons of varieties. The collections 
will be in bloom during the early days of May. 
This exceptional display, embracing more than three hundred 
different varieties, was made possible through the cooperation of 
the General Bulb Growers Society of Holland and Mr. John 
Scheepers of New York. The former’s collection embraces 12 1 
kinds of Darwin Tulips and 65 Breeders; the latter’s represents 
56 kinds of Darwins, 32 Breeders, and 25 Cottage Tulips. In the 
combination there are about 23,000 bulbs of 241 kinds. These 
are planted in the Horticultural Gardens. 
Another collection, more comprehensive in the types repre- 
sented, is located in the beds in the court of Range 1 Conserva- 
tory, where about 10,000 bulbs in 167 kinds planted in seven beds 
are as follows: Darwin, 68; Breeder, 37; Cottage, 38; Late Double, 
2; Early Single, 8; Early Double, 8; Rembrandt, 3; Bizarre, 3. 
The combined displays represent a total of more than 32,800 
bulbs, and, allowing for duplications, 323 kinds. 
The Darwin, Breeder, Cottage, and Rembrandt Tulips come 
into bloom usually from the middle of May to the first of June 
depending somewhat on the variety and depth of planting, 
nature of soil, situation, age of bulb, etc. and on the forwardness 
of the season. These are the types which nowadays are high 
in popular esteem because of their soft colors, taller habit, and 
general usefulness for cut flowers, as compared with the olden- 
time more brilliant Early Tulips, which may be expected to 
blossom the first week in May. 
Following are lists of the Tulips contained in the displays at 
the New York Botanical garden as supplied by Mr. George V. 
Nash, the head gardener, which may serve as an index and guide 
for the visitors and they are here given also as a contemporary 
record of varieties generally esteemed.
