Once again we offer Holland-grown tulip bulbs. In no other 
bulb, perhaps, is origin of stock so important. The tulip is a cold 
weather plant and the cool summers and mild winters of Holland 
suit its propagation to perfection. America has, true, made strides 
in growing tulips during the war, but we have nowhere a ‘Tulip 
Climate’. The usual top-size for American-grown tulips is 10 to 
11 cm. whereas in Holland it is 12 to 13 cm. Anyone who knows 
tulips realizes that that differecne in bulb can often double the 
size of the flower next spring. The larger bulb costs you no more 
—often less! a
