These are the "broken,” or striped forms of the Breeder Tulips 
and have existed in Holland for a long time. The Bybloems are 
striped and feathered violet or rose on a white ground; the Bizarres 
are marked in brown or maroon-red on a yellow ground. 
For planting among evergreens or in very formal gardens these 
Tulips give a quaint effect which is most pleasing, while a collec¬ 
tion of the best varieties will always be found interesting to those 
who do not know them well. They bloom with the other Late 
Tulips. As a rule, they do not have the vigor of the better known 
Late Tulips and the bulbs are never very large. 
The figure following the name indicates the relative 
flowering period. 
BIANCA. 2. Bybloem. White flamed quite regularly with dark 
purple. Large flower of great beauty and one of the best. 2 5 in. 
10 bulbs, $1.20; 100 bulbs, $10.
