Tulips at the New York Botanical Garden 
The General Bulb Growers Society of Haarlem, Holland, have 
made a notable gift to the Bronx Botanical Garden of a collection of 
175,000 TuHps. We are hoping that this unusually early season will 
bring them into full bloom at the time of our Annual Business Meet- 
ing on May 10, when we expect to see them on our way to Rye. 
The collection embraces 121 different varieties of Darwins and 
sixty-five varieties of Breeders. It is the largest collection of late 
TuHps ever brought together in one place in this country. Another 
collection of 5,400 tulips given to the Garden by Mr. Scheepers 
contains fifty-six varieties of Darwins, thirty-two of Breeders and 
twenty-five of Cottage types. Therefore, the two collections number 
180,400 bulbs in 243 varieties. The Flower Grower for April gives a 
detailed list and it would be well worth while to get that nimiber of 
the magazine and take it with you on May 11 for checking purposes.
