WHEN THE COLORING MATTER of a “self-color” has become split up into stripes and blotches, that particu¬ 
lar 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 
“Bizarre” and “Bijbloemen” which are the broken forms of Breeder tulips. All require the same cultural treat¬ 
ment as the other May-flowering tulips, blooming during the month of May, and about a month earlier in far 
southern sections.

OLD DUTCH BROKEN TULIPS 
IN THE OLD DAYS of the seventeenth century when the Dutch produced new varieties by “breaking” the colors 
and the tulip mania seized Holland, these Bizarre and Bijbloemen were the kinds most sought after. They still re¬ 
tain popularity 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 Bij- 
bloemens 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 exclusively 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. 
We have searched gardens and nurseries in England and Holland for the most unusual of these old-time favorites 
and take pleasure in presenting to you a limited number of outstanding varieties. All are beautiful and may be 
planted together. 
To assist the lover of unusual things in their selection, we have assembled here the following collections: 
COLLECTION of Bizarre tulips in 10 finest named varieties selected by us, $9.00 per 100; $87.50 per 
1 , 000 .

rose shadings, varieties selected by us, $9.00 per 100; $87.50 per 1,000.
