^Bizarre and tfSijhloem ^Tulips 
(Old Dutch Tulips) 
Bybloem and Bizarre Tulips are “rectified” Breeder types. The 
Tulips are of an old race which has been grown in Holland and in 
France since the beginning of the seventeenth century, and which 
caused the famous Tulip craze in 1635. The Bybloems are queerly 
striped and feathered rose or violet on a white ground. The Bizarres 
have dark brown stripes and feathering on a yellow ground. They 
flower about the same time as the Breeder and Darwin Tulips but 
do not grow quite so tall, and are seen at best advantage when planted 
in clumps in the herbaceous border or among evergreens and shrubs. 
They are above all sensational show Tulips. All form rare artistic 
beauty.
