The Late Leonard Barron Said This 
About the Ideal Darwins: 
It is rather hard for me to control 
my wild enthusiasm for the Ideal Tu¬ 
lips. I think they are just the finest 
things that can be put into the gar¬ 
den. The flowers are large, have all 
the character, dignity, and sturdiness 
of the Darwins; in fact, they look like 
Darwins except (and here is the great 
point) that the colors are clear and 
gay. That is really the great charm 
of the Ideals. I had almost come to 
the conclusion that Tulips did not 
really reflect the spirit of spring in the 
garden but the Ideals have changed 
that thought. My garden this season 
was just dancing with gayety. I have 
an underlying feeling that is growing 
very strongly in my mind that the 
spring garden should have a light and 
ethereal quality. You know, Words¬ 
worth wrote about one's soul "dancing 
with the Daffodils," and I think he 
just caught the exact emotional feel¬ 
ing that we get from the Daffodils in 
the garden. That is why people like 
Daffodils. The Tulips have lacked that 
gayety, hitherto.

A Hint to Our Customers 
A substantial part of the phenomenal crop of Tulip bulbs har\^ested in Holland 
last summer (1938) was replanted in the autumn of that year. The result is a very 
considerable reduction in prices, particularly noticeable among the better varieties. 
These low prices will not prevail for long. We, therefore, urge you to make 
this a Tulip'buying year. 
Do over your old plantings, stock up and take advantage of an opportunity 
which rarely presents itself.
