TULIPS 
SUNSHINE: Exquisite flower of a bright golden 
yellow. One of the most outstanding Parrot tulips 
both for color and form. Artistic effects are ob¬ 
tained by planting this tulip with the variety 
"Gadelan" in semi-shade, particularly when set 
at the base of evergreens. Each, $3. 
THERESE: A beautiful large tulip carried on a 
fine stem. This attractive variety is a sport of 
the well known ''Mr. Farncombe Sanders” 
which it resembles in color, being a brilliant 
rosy-red. Each, $1.50. 
REMBRANDT TULIPS 
W HEN 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 tulips. All require the same cultural treatment as the other May-flowering tulips, bloom¬ 
ing during the month of May in our latitude, and about a month earlier in far southern sections. 
Collection in finest named varieties at $7 per 100; $65 per 1,000. 
BIZARRE AND BIIBLOEMEN TULIPS 
OLD DUTCH BROKEN TULIPS 
I N the old days of the 17th Century when the Dutch produced 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 we like to see a section of the garden 
or of the borders given over exclusively to mass plantings of these, they will also lend themselves 
because of their subtle colorings in flakes and feathers, to interesting combinations with self col¬ 
ored 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. 
We 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, $8 per 100; 
$75 per 1,000. 
Collection of Bijbloemen tulips in ten finest named varieties and consisting half of violet 
and half rose shadings, varieties selected by us, $12 per 100; $115 per 1,000.
