TULIPS and 
NELIS Personality Darropits 
HOW TO USE THIS SELECTOR CHART 
A new pleasure enters into your planting of Tulips and Daffodils through the selection of those 
which have a definite “personality.” You can achieve striking effects by having certain of your Tulips 
and Daffs show a pronounced individuality of unusual distinction—so forget all about the stereotyped 
ways of selecting your choice specimens and have fun choosing the varieties on the basis of their per- 
sonalities. This chart will unerringly select the best of the finer Tulips and Daffodils that have just the 
features you want. 
For example, suppose you want some impressively tall Tulips that stand out head and shoulders 
above all the rest. Very well, you look down the column headed “Tall and Stately” and you note all 
the Tulips that have a T in this column. But you want them to stand out even more; you want them to 
be gay blades of sporty character. So you scan down the “Gay and Showy” column to find the T’s 
that designate this trait. Right away your list is thinned down from 25 tall - and - statelies to only 2 that 
also qualify as gay-and-showy. But you draw the personality even finer; you want the color to be un- 
usual, something altogether new—so you see what's under the “New Color” head. Sure enough, there’s 
YOUR Tulip! — Don Jose — dark red, bred for a fiery Carmen! A new color; a sporty Tulip; exceptionally 
tall and impressive — with an extra large bloom as a bonus! Before you scanned the Personality Chart, 
Don Jose was just a name; now it’s a definite, intriguing personality. 
You work it the same way with the Daffodils. Suppose the main characteristic you want is a sweet- 
ly perfumed scent—in itself a rare distinction. You look down the “Sweet Scented” column and note 
the many which are indicated with a D. You jump over to the “Rare and Very New” column and note 
that most of your sweet scented Daffs are the newest of innovations—which pleases you. But this very 
new, sweet scented Daffodil of yours must have absolute perfection, leaving nothing to be desired in 
excellence of shape, size, form and color—a gem to rave over! So you check the “Bred to Perfection” 
column—and find that 9 of your starting 24 Daffodils qualify—nine that are sweet scented, rare, superb 
beauties. You may want to order some of each, or narrow it down still further to the 6 that have the 
“Extra Large Bloom.” But, however your choice runs, whatever your personality inclinations, the chart 
leads you to exactly the right varieties. Fun, isn’t it? 
These are, of course, the outstanding Tulips and Daffodils selected from the complete Nelis Cata- 
log—where full descriptions are given—and where a great many other excellent varieties are pre- 
sented for your consideration. In making your Fall plans for your garden, use this Personality Chart 
to highlight your plantings with distinction and charm. Use the convenient order form.
