successfully forced into bloom in about 
4 weeks after the pots are brought into 
the warm greenhouse. Derwins require 
about 6 weeks. As Easter is early

New Triumph Tulips 
This new race of Tulips is the result of crossing single early Tulips with Darwins. 
The colors are excellent and many quite unusual. The Triumphs have the long 
stems of the Darwins with large flowers. They are excellent for forcing, it being 
possible to bring them into bloom in 3 to 4 weeks under good forcing conditions. 
They are fine also for outdoor planting, blooming only slightly later than the earli¬ 
est varieties.
