y Just before the cutbreak of the war in Europe, American bulb 
y growers had secured from Holland some of the newer tulips they 
y had been breeding for future introduction. The war destroyed 
most of the bulb plantings in Europe, so that only this stock 
imported into America was left from which to grow these new 
varieties. Today a few of these PEDIGREED VARIETIES, devel- 
cped as a result of countless crosses between classes to develop 
new types, are now available. These new strains are stronger, more 
2) vigorous growers; colors are more striking and have greater sheen; 
the flowers have twice the strength and substance. These are the 
forerunners of what will be new in tulips as quickly as they can be 
put into commercial production on a scale large enough to make 
them available to everyone. 
Try some of these NEW BLOOD TYPES in your garden now. It 
will be several years before they will be marketed in any quantity 
as stcecks are small and most of them must be kept for production 
purposes.

touched with shades of green.
