GIANT-FLOWERING TULIPS 
(Darwin, Cottage, and Breeder) 
This classification contains the groups formerly classified 
as DARWIN, COTTAGE, and BREEDER. As there has 
been extensive interbreeding of these three classes, con- 
fusion has existed even among the best informed, and it 
seems to us useless to maintain class distinction any longer. 
In revising our 1946 list, we have eliminated many varieties 
and are listing newer varieties which we believe are a 
great improvement over the more common types. Their 
flowers are larger, stems longer and better, and the colors 
more striking and outstanding. 
ADVANCE—3 2-inch. Cottage. One of the finest of the newer 
sorts with larger flowers, longer and better stems. The 
large flowers are fiery scarlet with flush of rosy orange. 
3 bulbs 45c; 12 for $1.50.
