MENDEL TULIPS 
• 
Mendel Tulips are the result of crossing Due Van Tholl (the 
earliest flowering tulips) with Darwins, the object being to 
produce flowers the size of Darwins and also to get an earlier 
large flowering type. While this has been in process for some 
years, and highly successful, it is not until quite recently that 
the real fine kinds resulting from this crossing, have been avail¬ 
able in any quantity. 
We consider them particularly desirable for indoor culture 
and forcing, but are adapted for outdoor planting, too. They 
come into bloom nearly as soon as the earliest flowering kinds 
and from ten days to two weeks before the Darwins. They have 
strong, sturdy stems, but are not as tall as the Darwins or 
Ideals. The size of the flowers however compares favorably. 
There are some really desirable varieties among them and we 
have selected a short list frorn many that we have tried out, 
and which rve can recommend.
