Triumph Tulips 
This new race of Tulips has been raised by crossing the old 
Single Early Tulips with the Cottage, Darwin and Breeder classes. 
The result gives a race which comes into bloom just after the 
Early Tulips are gone and before the great burst of bloom afforded 
by the May-flowering classes. This fact alone would be enough to 
establish their value for landscape or garden purposes, but if one 
adds to this the fact that we obtain colors and combinations un¬ 
known hitherto, it is evident that the Hollander has once again 
given us something to be thankful about. 
To us there is, besides, the added charm which can be found in a 
study of the bases of this remarkable strain. One visitor to our 
gardens last spring gave us the very phrase we sought as an apt 
one to convey the effect produced by the striking combinations of 
color to one who looks down into the open blooms. “Why, this is 
a flower within a flower!” was a tribute to the glory of these ne'w 
Tulips and we advise everyone to use them freely in planninP' the 
Tulip garden this year. 
Remembering that this race comes into bloom in the middle of 
the Tulip season, the figures immediately following the variety name 
will indicate the relative earliness of the varieties included in this 
section. The latest will come into flower with the Darwins and all 
will be at their best just before the majority of the Cottage Tulips 
flave reached their full size.
