Rembrandt Tulips 
When the coloring matter of a “self-color” has become 
split up into stripes and blotches, that particular flower is 
called “broken” or “rectified.” When the Darwin Tulips 
“break” into these variations, they are called “Rembrandt” 
Tulips. They are very decorative but should be planted by 
themselves or in combination with the “Bizarres’ and 
“Bijbloemen” which are the broken forms of Breeder Tu¬ 
lips. All require the same cultural treatment as the other 
May-flowering Tulips, blooming during the month of May 
in our latitude, and about a month earlier in far southern 
sections. We offer these in finest named varieties at $9 per 
100; $85 per 1,000. 
Bizarre and Bijbloemen Tulips 
OLD DUTCH BROKEN TULIPS 
In the old days of the 17th Century when the Dutch pro¬ 
duced new varieties by “breaking” the colors and the Tulip 
Mania seized Holland, these Bizarres and Bijbloemen were 
the kinds most sought after. They still retain popularity 
and the better they become known the more they are 
asked for. 
The Bizarres may be characterized as having dark brown 
stripes and featherings on a yellow ground; the Bijbloemen 
as having a white ground with rose or mauve stripes and 
featherings. 
They bloom at the same time as the Darwins and, while 
I should like to see a section of the garden or of the bor¬ 
ders given exclusively over to mass plantings of these, they 
will also lend themselves because of their subtle colorings 
in flakes and feathers, to interesting combinations with self 
colored Breeder, Cottage or Darwin Tulips. 
Until we know these fine Bizarre and Bijbloemen Tulips 
better in this country, we are losing one of the greatest and 
most interesting pleasures of the spring garden. 
I have searched gardens and nurseries in England and 
Holland for the most unusual of these old time favorites 
and take pleasure in presenting to you a limited number 
of outstanding varieties. All are beautiful and may be 
planted together. 
To assist the lover of unusual things in their selection, 
we have assembled here the following collections: 
Collection of Bizarre Tulips in ten finest named varieties 
selected by us, $10 per 100; $95 per 1,000. 
Collection of Bijbloemen Tulips in ten finest named 
varieties and consisting half of violet and half of rose shad¬ 
ings, varieties selected by us, $15 per 100; $145 per 1,000.
