Choice, 
If you wish the very best Tulips, Tulips very large in sue and on long, stiff stems, you must 
plant only top size bulbs. The bulbs should be planted 6 inches deep in the late fall. The next 
spring the Tulips will come on at their best. The second season they will not be as good as 
the first, and the third season the blooms will be inferior to the second. At the end of the 
third season’s blooming it is always best to dig the bed up, get new bulbs in the fall, and start 
all over again with new Holland-grown bulbs. 
WE HANDLE ONLY HOLLAND-GROWN BULBS AND ONLY TOP SIZE BULBS 
DARWIN TULIPS 
Darwin Tulips are distinguished by their lovely shades, in the full range of colors, and their 
large, cup-shaped flowers of heavy substance, held erect on tall, strong stems. They run in 
height from 24 to 30 or more inches, and are our most popular Tulip. 
Prices for all Tulips, unless otherwise priced: 65c per doz.; $4.75 per 100. 
REMEMBER! These prices mean real top size bulbs. Such bulbs cannot be sold at the 
price some charge for medium size bulbs. A top size is a grade larger
