Ideal Darwins. These are seedlings of the original Darwins and many 
of the varieties are a distinct improvement over some of the older Dar¬ 
wins. Next to increased size and longer stem, perhaps the greatest ac¬ 
quisition is the wide range of colors included in these seedlings. Lovely 
soft yellows and large bold whites on long strong stems are welcome 
additions. This year a number of new varieties have been added to our 
planting. 
Breeder Tulips. The varieties in this class include those soft and odd 
shades, tan, buff, bronze, orange and maroon, which combine so beauti¬ 
fully with the bright colors of the Darwins and Cottage Tulips. Some of 
the Breeders are so dull as to be unattractive. These have been eliminated 
and only the best Breeders are included in our planting. 
They flower with the Darwins and are identical in size of flower, 
length of stem, lasting quality, etc. 
Cottage Tulips—Hybrid Tulips. (May 12th to 30th). Cottage Tulips 
as a class are very old, and in the old-time gardens were the ones mainly 
used. Many of the original varieties are still cultivated and have pleas¬ 
ing qualities. In general they are of medium height, 16" to 24". The 
stems are gracefully slender, and the flower is usually long and pointed. 
It is natural that many new and improved varieties would be originated 
during recent years, some as a result of crossing with the Darwins. These 
are classified as Hybrid or improved Cottage Tulips, and compare favor¬ 
ably in all respects with the Darwins and Breeders. 
Bizarre, Bybloemen, Rembrandt Tulips. Also known as Striped and 
Feathered Tulips. They originate as “Breaks” from the Breeder and Dar¬ 
win Tulips. i 
SPECIE TULIPS. (Various flowering dates) 
Unlike the cultivated classes listed above, Specie Tulips are really 
wild Tulips, most of them natives of Central Asia. They include an end¬ 
less variety of color, shape, size, height, and season of bloom. Dasystemon 
and Saxatilis are so small as to require searching for, while others like 
Greigii and Fosteriana are as highly colored and almost as large as an 
oriental poppy.
