Rembrandt Culips 
These “’broken’’ Darwin Tulips are a gay and interesting strain of 
May-flowering Tulips with flecked, feathered and striped flowers 
much superior to the old Bybloemen Tulips. However, the flowers 
are not as large as those of the Darwins and the plants do not grow 
as tall. We do not advise planting them with the self-colored varie- 
. ties but if used as isolated groups in the shrubbery they will be 
astonishingly beautiful. 
All Bulbs Strong First Size—11 to 12 cm. 
AMERICAN FLAG, 24 (Stars and Stripes). Clear, deep red with 
white blotches on blue base. A very handsome variety originated by 
our firm, and one which we consider the finest of all broken Tulips.

Culip Species 
RARE PERSONALITIES OF PIQUANT CHARM 
28 J FRLYVG-- 
INCLUDING MANY FASCINATING MINIATURES FOR THE ROCK GARDEN 
Van Tubergen’s collection of Tulip Species is the largest and most comprehensive in the world, 
containing many rare and beautiful gems that deserve a place of honor in every bulb fancier’s garden 
The growing of Tulip Species is one of the most fascinating ad- 
ventures in gardening, and we are proud to offer the most extensive 
and varied collections in this country. For more than a half century 
Van Tubergen has been assembling stocks of these sp2cies through 
plant collectors in all parts of the world. Many are extremely rare. 
All-are exceptionally choice and unusual. 
Tulip Species or Botanical Tulips include a great number of beau- 
tiful and interesting varieties which show a bewildering variation 
in size, shape of flowers, structure of leaves, habitus, etc., and have 
only in common the fact they grow wild in some parts of the world: 
Asia Minor, Central Asia, Greece, and the Mediterranean region. 
Culture has not modified them. A number of the choicest may be 
planted in the rock garden between creeping plants, or in colonies 
in small warm nooks where the larger flowered garden Tulips would 
be out of place. All appreciate perfect drainage. As the leaves appear 
early, we advise planting as late as possible, with the exception of 
Tulipa Sprengeri which must be planted immediately upon arrival. 
Depth to plant 4 to 8 inches. 
Tulip Species bulbs cannot be graded according to size like the large-flowered hybrid garden Tulips. Some produce bulbs no larger than the size 
of a dime, while others are as large as a walnut. In all cases we supply the largest size produced ... of our usual select quality.
