Prize Collection for 1949 
TEN TULIPS OF BREATH-TAKING BEAUTY 
Each Supreme In Its Color Range 
Illustrated in color on pages 22 and 23 
The demand for our ‘’Prize Collection’’ of Tulips has increased each year. The collection offered for 1949 is the 
most beautiful collection of high-quality Tulips offered our customers during the past 25 years. Anticipating this 
continued demand, we requested our grower in Holland to increase his stocks of these ten Tulips of such great merit. 
For the ‘“WAYSIDE GARDENS PRIZE COLLECTION FOR 1949," Grullemans of Holland have grown for us the 
finest lot of bulbs we have ever had the pleasure of offering to our customers. We recommend it to you unresery- 
edly. It is, with the exception of 3 varieties, the same collection offered in 1948. Each year we are requested by 
hundreds of customers to offer it because of its unusual beauty.

DARWIN TULIPS IN MIXED COLORS 
We take great pride in this special mixture made from 
Ideal Darwin and Darwin Tulips. We have offered it for sev- 
eral years and many are the letters from customers telling 
us how they have enjoyed the flowers produced from these 
bulbs. Only the finest and newest kinds are used. All colors 
and shades are carefully proportioned and blended so as to 
create the most colorful and cheerful effect possible. If you 
are not particular as to any specific variety but just want 
the best and clearest, largest blooms, we suggest you plant 
a goodly quantity of these and you will be well repaid for 
your efforts and money spent. 
Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.30, 100 $11.75 
BREEDER TULIPS IN MIXED COLORS 
For an artistic blending of rare, pastel colors there is 
nothing in flowers which can match the Breeder Tulips. The 
subtle tints of bronze, golden bronze, buff, maroon, terra 
cotta, soft violets and lilacs overlaid with dull gold all har- 
monize and blend into one of the richest and rarest displays 
of color it is possible to create. Mix in a few small branches 
of copper or bronze-leaved foliage and the results will equal 
those of an expert flower arranger. Great care has been 
taken in making this mixture. Only the best and finest kinds 
are used. All shades and tints are carefully proportioned 
for finest possible effect.
