CHESTER JAY HUNT 
New Hybrid Tulips 
ZOMERSCHOON. 4. White, feathered and striped deep cerise; 
white base. Nicely formed flower of very clear tone. This is 
perhaps the oldest variety now in existence. 20 in. 
10 bulbs, $2.40; 100 bulbs, $22. 
In this group are included all varieties brought out during the 
last few years which are crosses between the different sections of 
Late Tulips. Since the Darwins have always been noted for their 
peculiar form and for the fact that they include no yellows, this 
color ought to be kept out of the Darwin section. Catalogue 
makers have tried unsuccessfully to get the older and well-known 
Cottage Tulip Inglescombe Yellow thought of as a Darwin by 
calling it one, but the public has not responded to the propa¬ 
ganda. Good gardeners, when they grow these new types, will 
quickly recognize the difference between them and either the Dar¬ 
win or Cottage classes. That the group contains treasures of garden 
beauty will be evident from any point of view if a choice is made 
from these hitherto unheard of colors and forms. 
Detailed planting directions will be included with the shipment 
of the bulbs. 
The figure following the name indicates the relative 
time of flowering.
