REMBRANDT TULIPS 
W F1EN 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, blooming during the month of May, and about a month earlier in far southern sections.

BIZARRE AND BIJBLOEMEN TULIPS 
OLD DUTCH BROKEN TULIPS 
I N the old days of the seventeenth 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, f hey still retain popu¬ 
larity 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 exclusivly to mass plantings of these, they will also lend themselves, because of their subtle colorings in flakes 
and feathers, to interesting combinations with self-colored 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.
