Bybloem and Bizarre Tulips 
Bybloem and Bizarre Tulips are “rectified” Breeder types. These 
Tulips are an old race, having been grown in Holland long before 
the modern sorts were known. They are tall growers and have large 
flowers particularly noteworthy for their beautiful shape. 
The Bybloems are striped and feathered rose or violet, on a white 
ground; the Bizarres have dark brown or maroon-red stripes and 
feathering on a yellow ground, the markings varying in individual 
flowers. They come into flower about the same time as the later 
Darwins, and should have the same cultural treatment. They do not 
grow quite so tall, however, and show off to best advantage by 
themselves or with the Rembrandt Tulips. The bulbs of these Tulips 
are never very large. 
The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flozvering.
