and PASTEL LOVELINESS 
RLY 
We have the honor to present direct from Holland the finest varieties and latest originations of the world-famous firm of C. G. 
Van Tubergen, Ltd., recognized as the world’s most skillful hybridizers of bulbous and tuberous plants. Each variety has been care- 
fully selected according to rigid standards of color quality, refinement of form, substance, bearing and general performance. While 
many are exceptionally choice, rare, or unusual, all may be considered as the finest available. No matter what your selection you are 
assured of peerless beauty. 
Classification of Types 
To aid in the proper selection of varieties we have compiled this brief outline of groups into which Tulips have been segregated. 
As a quick reference it will enable you to choose the correct types for period of bloom, characteristics and colors desired. Further 
details will be found under each group heading on the page indicated.

enough for cutting. Excellent for forcing, cutting and 
general bedding. Unusual combinations of color. 
Triumph—Page 12

* ALL-SEASON—Species and Botanical Varieties—Page 15 
No general notes apply to this group, as each variety or species is a definite individual. Vary in height from 3 to 20 inches. 
Periods of bloom range from last week of March thru last week of May. Exceptionally well suited to rock garden culture. In- 
clude many rare items of unusual interest and charm. 
Note: Blooming periods are based on the Northeastern part of U.S., but the same sequence will follow in any part of the country. 
THE MEASURE OF QUALITY 
Tulip bulbs are graded according to circumference, in terms of ‘‘centimeters’’— (abbreviated ‘‘cm’’) 
mately 1 inch). The only grades which can be relied upon to produce beautiful results are:— 
EXTRA S!IZE—12 cm. and over (434 inches and over) 
FIRST SIZE—11 to 12 cm. (4% to 434 inches) 
For absolute perfection of bloom, for tallest strongest stems, and finest results, it is necessary to plant bulbs of EXTRA SIZE— 
12 cm. and over. 
When Tulips are planted for mass display only, or in the cutting garden and other places where perfection is not a necessity, 
bulbs of FIRST SIZE—11 to 12 cm. may be used. 
Bulbs smaller than 11 cm. will bloom, but results will be very irregular and erratic, blooms will be small, and many will not 
bloom the second year. 
All of our named varieties of Tulips are supplied in EXTRA SIZE—12 cm. and over, unless otherwise specified. Mixtures are 
available in both sizes. 
Every one of our Tulip Bulbs is HAND SELECTED from the cream of Holland’s harvest 
... FAT, HEALTHY SPECIMENS that are a delight to handle.
