Tulip Mixtures 
Although the planting of mixed bulbs seems to be in rather 
poor taste, there are some occasions where the use of named 
varieties is inadvisable. To meet the requirements of those who 
may wish to plant mixtures of Tulips, I am able to supply a 
superior quality of bulbs, in a varied assortment of colors, which 
will give the highest satisfaction. Cream Quality will be as 
evident in all of my mixtures as in any other bulbs I shall send
