Mendel Tulips 
In order to obtain a new race of Tulips, having the earliest 
forcing qualities of some of the oldest Early Tulips and the long 
stems, larger flowers and a greater selection of pleasing colors 
for which the Darwin Tulips are known, the hybridizers crossed 
these two types. 
After 12 years of endeavor the first flowers were exhibited 
and many new varieties with the desired qualities were intro- 
duced in the course of the years. 
We have selected just a few good varieties of proven 
merit, extremely valuable for the greenhouse.
