WAYSIDE GARDE MS 
With the exception of perhaps a dozen varieties which are still too 
expensive and of which there are not yet sufficient bulbs available, 
you will find here the entire group of Ideal Darwin Tulips! 
Three years ago we were asked by the originators, Grullemans of 
Holland, to introduce this much improved form of Darwins. So pop¬ 
ular have they become we could not fill some of the late orders re¬ 
ceived in 1935. 
The number of available bulbs in many cases is limited. It will, 
therefore, be necessary that orders be placed with the least possible 
delay.

No one in this country is able to offer you as many of these choice 
“Ideal Darwin” Tulips as are offered here because contracts have 
been made as long as three years ago with this firm for the entire 
output of most of these varieties. 
We want all our customers to plant Ideal Darwin Tulips this year 
because they are so much better and if you do and are interested in 
exhibiting your blooms at shows, you’ll be sure of the biggest prizes 
or awards. This is not idle boasting because for the past two years 
the Ideal Darwin Tulips took the highest prizes at the New York as 
well as the London (England) Flower Shows.
