She (World’s Ginest Culips 
In All Cheir Glory 
On these and the many pages that follow you will 
find that last word in Tulips shown in the very finest 
of actual color photographs. We are not given to 
superlatives unless we can prove our statements, but 
we say to you without fear of contradiction that these 
are the very finest and most beautiful Tulips obtain- 
able anywhere in the world. None are offered except 
those of outstanding merit in form and color. If some 
of your old favorites are missing it is because we have 
found better ones at similar prices. If, however, you 
insist upon ordering some “‘old pet’’ of yours, we can 
import it especially for you if you let us know before 
August Ist, but we earnestly suggest you be guided 
by those shown herein. 
All of the varieties offered within their particular 
group have been chosen by two experts—one from this 
country and one from Holland. It might be mentioned 
in the passing that the owner and President of THE 
WAYSIDE GARDENS CO. (Mr. Grullemans) , was born 
in Holland where his family have grown the finest of 

Tulips for four generations. This means that WAY- 
SIDE always has first choice of the finest of Dutch — 
Tulips. Grullemans of Holland was constantly sending © 
to WAYSIDE hundreds of their latest hybrids for test- 
ing in America. After such tests, the Tulips of high- — 
est quality are then offered to our customers. 
You need not be an expert to make your selections 
from the many lovely Tulips shown on these pages. 
Simply pick out the colors you like best and leave the 
rest to us. You will receive plump, true “‘“mammoth 
size’’ bulbs of which, incidentally, there are only a 
very few available in Holland each year. These ‘’“mam- 
moth” bulbs are a size larger than the ‘top size” 
bulbs generally offered. Our Tulip bulbs will produce 
the biggest flowers it is possible for a Tulip bulb to 
produce, a quality almost impossible to match and 
absolutely impossible to improve upon. With ordinary 
care they will produce magnificent blooms for several 
years. Accompanying your bulbs will be simple, easy- 
to-follow cultural instructions that will enable you to 
grow exhibition flowers.

You will enjoy some of these new quaintly shaped flowers, particularly for house decoration. They are stunning in 
clumps here and there in the border, in front of shrubs or groups of evergreens. Their artistic form and coloring

not too high a temperature it ‘develops into one of the most unusual Orchid-like flowers you have ever seen.
