INTER-STATE’S FAMOUS 
Giant Rainbow 
This fine collection is made especially for you who want beautiful 
Tulips and do not care to know the variety names. It is a hand- 
made mixture, made by us from fine named varieties. It contains 
all the different gorgeous Tulip colors from pure white to almost 
black, with many shades of red, pink, yellow, lavender, purple, 
orange and the lovely blends. We include the richly colored Dar- 
wins, the lovely pastel Cottage, the huge bold Breeders, the strik- 
ingly beautiful Triumphs, some of the graceful Lily-shaped and 
some of those magnificent new Ideals. We do not include any of 
the Early Single or Early Double Tulips. 
The flowers are large, on tall stems and bloom here in late April 
and early May. The bulbs are the finest quality, large No. 1 size, 
imported by us in carlots direct from Holland. If you bought these 
very same bulbs by name, they would cost you much more. Custom- 
ers from coast to coast have written us, telling how delighted they 
are with this collection. We do not believe there is a finer mixed 
collection in America. 
Tulips are so easy to grow. Plant them in full sun or partial shade 
(the colors are even richer when they get afternoon shade). Set 
them with pointed end up, 6 inches apart and 8 to 9 inches deep. 
By planting this deep the bulbs last longer and come up year after 
year for several years without digging them up and resetting. Also 
this deep planting generally stops mole trouble as they seldom dig 
this deep. You can plant shallow rooted plants like Petunias, Alys- 
sum, Asters, etc., to come on and bloom after Tulips are through. 
Plant for beauty outdoors and also plant enough so you can cut 
some for bouquets.
