Van Tubergen is one of the leading hybridists in Holland and their strain is exceptional. The colors 
are very clear and true, and the large finely-shaped flowers are distinguished by wide overlapping 
petals of great substance and noble bearing. The bulbs will usually bloom 3 to 4 flowers on a spike, 
and frequently produce 2 spikes, especially after becoming well established. 
As these bulbs are not propagated by the slow costly offset method (the only way to produce offspring 
of identical parent characteristics and color) there is some slight variation in shade and tone. However, 
in all cases OUR BULBS ARE CERTIFIED TRUE TO COLOR, FORM BEARING, AND SUB- 
STANCE. At the end of the first blooming season if you feel the results are not up to your expecta- 
tions, or not as described, THE BULBS WILL BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE at the begin- 
ning of the following shipping season.
