MENDEL TULIPS 
These respond well to early forcing. They are a relatively new race, the result of crossing Duc van Tholl 
varieties with Darwins. Some are very early, others almost as late as Darwins. Most varieties require only 3 weeks 
forcing time. The varieties listed here are all recommended for forcing. Complete forcing suggestions will be 
supplied upon request. 
BRIGHTLING—Carmine red, shaded salmon. Very large flower 
on a strong stem, forcing well for mid-January. 
EARLY QUEEN—Atractive satiny rose shaded lilac; a large 
well-formed flower on strong stem. Very fine for early 
forcing. 
FABIOLA—Bright carmine-red flushed orange. Good sized 
flower on thin wiry stem. Early forcer. 
FRITJOF NANSEN—Carmine red with blue center, very large 
flower. 
HILDEGARDE—Bright deep scarlet. Extra fine early forcer for 
pans and cut flowers. 
KRELAGE'S TRIUMPH—Deep glowing red. Strong stem, fairly 
tall. Good January forcer. 
MRS. E. H. KRELAGE—Pure satiny rose pink. 
PINK GEM—Bright pink, edged lighter. Large flower on 
strong stem, fairly tall. Forces extremely early. 
SCARLET ADMIRAL—Deep vermillion red with black base. 
Very sturdy flower on strong stem, fairly tall. An outstanding

on good stem, fairly tall. Forces very early. 
VAN DER EERDEN—Rosy red edged fiery scarlet. Tall grower, 
excellent forcer.

strong tall flower on excellent tall stem. Splendid for end of 
January forcing.

wiry stem; medium-early forcer, good for pans.
