EXT spring, for the first time since war began, 
American gardens can be restored to full 
peace-time beauty. Great progress has been made 
this year in producing seeds, bulbs and plants. 
With a few exceptions, supplies of these are ap- 
proaching normal. 
Prices of fall bulbs in this catalogue are substan- 
tially reduced from those which prevailed during 
the war. Our list of varieties is much enlarged, and 
includes those which in dur opinion are the best of 
each color, new and old. 
Holland has no monopoly on ‘‘tulip time.’’ 
Through most of our country the first spring burst 
of color to include all rainbow hues comes when the 
tulips flower, and the garden’s winter dullness 
changes in the space of hours tosummer brilliance. 
Darwin 
Darwin tulips are characterized by a soft 
overtone which gives their colors a pastel 
effect. The flowers are cup-shaped and 
carried on tall, stiff stems. In color range they 
include all’ the rainbow hues, in amazing 
variety. Yellow, which long was missing 
from the Darwins, is now represented by 
several fine varieties; and new varieties in- 
clude splendid giant whites. 
Included in the variety lists on this and the 
following pages are many newly introduced 
varieties which show improvement in color, 
height, size or in some other important 
respect, over older varieties. But at the 
same time we retain the best of the old and 
tried varieties, many of which remain the 
finest of their type, and may never be 
surpassed.

At least a month’s display is lost, at the season 
when garden beauty is most precious, if your gar- 
den lacks these lovely flowers. 
All May-flowering tulips may be planted to- 
gether harmoniously. Darwin, Cottage and Breeder 
tulips are merely different clans having distinctive 
family traits, but each with beauty which blends 
admirably with its cousins. They are listed sepa- 
rately for convenience of reference. 
Planning a tulip garden is made easy by the fact 
that you may count so surely upon the flower 
blooming as planned. The height, the color, the 
flowering season, are all so well established, itis a 
pleasure to plan a color effect andin thespringsee 
it develop in life, just as imagined the previous fall.
