Bunch-flowering or Multiflowered Tulips are a most interesting 
lot. Instead of producing the conventional single stem with one 
bloom on top the varieties offered under this heading all grow a 
strong main stem with from 3 to 6 branches, half way up the stem, 
each side shoot or branch carrying its own flower. The result is that 
3 to 6 or sometimes 8 flowers are obtained from one bulb. All the 
blooms are of good size, are gracefully spaced and as you can well 
imagine, produce an unusual effect and a great mass of color. The 
soil must be kept rich because if planted in poor ground they will not 
be as floriferous. 
All the varieties offered are most attractive, some very unusual in 
their coloring.

The artistic form and coloring make them especially suitable for 
cut flower purposes. In the garden, if planted in borders or groups, 
they are not always satisfactory as they lack the vigorous, straight 
stems of the other Tulips with the exception of the new varieties 
which have straight and tall stems as the Darwin Tulips. They are 
extremely effective planted in long drifts in front of evergreens.

Here we have a collection of new Tulips which in form and shape 
resemble the Darwin Tulips; the coloring, however, reminds one of 
the Cottage Tulip Picotee. 
When Chameleon Tulips first come into bloom they show only 
faint tracings or delicate margins of pink on the edges of the flower 
petals, with the development and consequent aging of the bloom 
these markings enlarge and gradually spread over the entire flower. 
The blossoms never look the same from day to day and it is truly 
fascinating to watch this change of color taking place. At opening 
the flowers are largely white with faint signs of a delicate rose-pink; 
spreading over the entire flower as it matures. 
Some 20 varieties are under observation which will not be offered 
by name for some time to come, but we have arranged for the distri¬ 
bution of a number of bulbs in a mixture of unnamed varieties. In 
our trial grounds they were greatly admired, you must add a few to 
your collection of bulbs.
