IDEAL TULIPS 
I 
DEAL Tulips may be called first cousins to the Darwins and they bear quite a near resemblance to each other. They are, however, quite 
superior in many respects, the main difference being in their habit of growth and finely formed flowers. The form of the large flow¬ 
ers differs to quite an extent and they are carried erect on tall wiry but graceful stems. Too, their colors are more refined and softer 
in tone, the lighter shades predominating with many pure 
white and creamy white kinds. 
Ideal Tulips will bloom earlier than Darwins and because 
of their great lasting qualities will still be in fine condition 
after most Darwins are through.

GRULLEMANNI TULIPS 
Among tulip fanciers and professional bulb growers 
these new tulips are recognized as very unusual. They have 
been the object of greatest attention wherever shown both 
in Europe and this country. 
They are hybrids of the Darwin crossed with species 
tulip Kaufmanianna. They retain some of the character¬ 
istics of both but are greatly different in size and form. 
The flower before opening is very long and when fully ex¬ 
panded is of enormous size. 
The coloration is quite unique in tulips, the inside 
base has an unusually large colored disc that makes them 
resemble giant poppies, when fully open. 
Grullemanni tulips will last longer under the same con¬ 
ditions than any other tulip, either indoor or outdoor.
