WILLIAM PITT. 2. Very dark crimson, with purplish bloom on

tinct color and great beauty. Fine for borders and for forcing.

ZWANENBERG. 3. Creamy white with black anthers; a flower 
of medium size and splendid substance. A good white Tulip which

Rembrandt Tulips 
The broken Darwins are now classed as Rembrandt Tulips, and 
the best varieties seem likely to attain a moderate share of the 
popularity which all the Late Tulips now enjoy. For garden pur¬ 
poses these striped forms have an oddity of character in which there 
are positive decorative possibilities. If kept by themselves, or used 
with the rose and violet Bybloems, in the seclusion of hedging or 
evergreens, the Rembrandts have a quaint effect which indicates 
their value for formal plantings. 
The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flozvering. 
Prices of all varieties, 10 bulbs, $1.40; 100 bulbs, $12.

Breeder Tulips 
The Breeders are unbroken forms of the old-time florists’ Tulip, 
the race which has held the favor of the English fanciers for over 
a century. They are of vigorous growth and have characteristic, 
large, self-colored flowers (generally dull-toned or bronze-shaded); 
many of them are deliciously scented. They are especially valuable 
Tulips for the garden, in spite of the neutral shades, as they possess 
such refined colors and such artistic blending of tones that it is 
impossible not to admire their somber beauty. In size and height 
they frequently surpass even the largest and tallest Darwins.
