^Sizarre and ^Bybloem CFulips 
(Old Dutch Tulips) 
Bybloem and Bizarre Tulips are "rectified" Breeder types. 
The Tulips are of an old race which has been grown in Holland 
and in France since the beginning of the seventeenth century, 
and which caused the famous Tulip craze in 1635. The By- 
bloems are queerly striped and feathered rose or violet on a 
white ground. The Bizarres have dark brown stripes and feath¬ 
ering on a yellow ground. They flower about the same time as 
the Breeder and Darwin Tulips but do not grow quite so tall, and 
are seen at best advantage when planted in clumps in the her¬ 
baceous border or among evergreens and shrubs. They are above 
all sensational show Tulips. All form rare artistic beauty. 
c ^Double Cottage ^Tulips

They are thankful for a little shading against the hot midday 
sun which will enable them to carry their heavy blossoms erect.

f/venibrandt tulips 
Rembrandt Tulips are nothing more or less than Darwin 
Tulips in which white, lavender, red and other colored stripes or 
flakes have appeared. The blending of colors is af all times in 
perfect harmony and most attractive and colorful. They are espe¬ 
cially fine when used for cut flowers. They bloom at the same 
time as the Darwins and require the same care. We advise 
their use in a mixture only.
