SPECIES and HYBRID NOVELTIES 
TULIPA KAUFMANNIANA. Their earliness and shortness of stem (us- 
ually under 12”) have made these tulips great favorites for frontal places 
in the border and excellent subjects for rockeries. They are unsurpassed 
for early brilliance. These novelties should rise to even greater fame 
than the very popular older varieties.

red. Red and black center. Dwarf. Very outstanding.

SENSATIONAL NEW TULIP HYBRID 
HOLLAND’S GLORY 20”. Among the thousands and thousands of 
new tulip seedlings raised in Holland in the last few centuries, 
this superb variety is outstanding. It is a hybrid between Tulipa 
Fosteriana and a Darwin. It has inherited a large distinct shaped 
flower and a brilliant red color from the tulip species and a very 
strong stem from the Darwin. Lovely broad spreading foliage. 
Flowers at the end of April before the Darwins. Bulbs are said 
to have been sold at $1,000 each in 1946. Will eventually become 
one of the most widely grown tulips ever offered when the stock 
is increased to the point where all may grow this remarkable 
flower. Absolutely enormous flower. A sensation in our trial gar- 
dens this spring. Each, $4.50
