nom the City of Tulips 
HERE is a time each year when the"Tulip takes command of the clean, 
| Pere city of Holland. In years past, hundreds of thousands of people 
have invaded this lakeshore community to drink in the beauties of spring- 
time’s most welcome flower, and Holland has provided a daily round of festivi- 
ties to entertain its guests. 
But all the picturesque and entertaining festivities have been put aside for 
the duration, to be resumed again when victory is ours. 
Meanwhile, the Nelis Nurseries, who have always played a quiet but im- 
portant part in this annual Tulip Festival, will do their utmost to keep alive 
the culture of Tulips, which their forefathers began centuries ago. In its ex- 
tensiveness of varieties and gorgeousness of color, the Nelis Tulip Farm is un- 
doubtedly the most colorful mass display of Tulips to be seen anywhere in the 
world. We have planted as many Tulips as in past years, and our display will 
be open to the public for those that are able to come to enjoy the beauty of 
“Tulip Time.” 

This is the finest, most colorful mixture of Darwin, Breeder, Cottage and Lily-Flowered Tulips, in a color range that / 
includes every color, shade and 
blending. Ideal for beds and cutting. For 1945 only blooming size bulbs are offered. 
This size is smaller than the varieties listed in the catalog. 
25 blooming size bulbs $ 2.50 
50 blooming size bulbs 4.65 
100 blooming size bulbs 9.00 
250 blooming size bulbs 22.00
