Beautiful NEW Floral Creations for A951 
ree 
For the past several years we have deligently been testing many new varieties and introductions in 
our test gardens in order to determine how well they perform and of what value that could be to our gar- 
dening friends. 
We firmly do not believe that a variety should be offered just because it is ‘‘new’’. Our funda- 
mental philosophy is that a garden should contain many plants which are rare and unusual and that those 
advancements which are most advantageous from the point of view of ease of culture, hardiness, and 
‘‘newness’’ should be brought to your attention only after they have been subjected to a series of tests. 
These tests should remove any doubt as to how they will perform for you. 
Those varieties which fail to meet all our maximum requirements are immediately discarded. 
Only those varieties which have passed all-out endurance tests have been selected for your use. 
Many of the items in this section are being offered for the first time this season. Others have 
previously been offered one or two seasons ago. We have carefully sifted through all those varieties 
available and have selected only those which we feel are most outstanding. 
You will find many other fine and choice items listed in other sections of THE PLANT 
EXPLORER’S NOTEBOOK and FLORAL TREASURES OF THE WORLD which are worthy of your at- 
tention. The listing which follows includes the choicest varieties and those which we feel should be 
planted more extensively. 
All these varieties have our full endorsement. 
All will give maximum performance. 
All will make your garden a showplace. 
new INDIAN BREEDER TULIPS 
Of the many new Breeder Tulips which we have been testing, we have specially selected this group 
because of their many outstanding qualities. These tulips capture tints and tones which are seldom 
found in any tulips now being offered. Because of their rich, rare tones which are usually associated 
with our early American Indian, they have been called the Indian Breeders. Their unusually large 
flowers are borne on tall, stately stems which lend a bold, yet dignified effect to your garden. 
CHAPPAQUA (33 inches high) A brilliant tomato-red 
with carmine-rose overtones. Inside of flower is 
a sparkling glaze, yellow base with blue edge.

new GIANT BREEDER TULIPS 
These Breeders, along with the Indian Breeders, are most exceptional because of their exciting 
range of colors never before seen in tulips. Beautiful autumnal tones and effects have been bred into 
this group which will create a striking and outstanding display in your garden. 
We all have been looking for something “different”? in tulips, and at last have found it in these ex- 
citing new varieties. 
DIXIE SUNSHINE (28 inches high) We predict a great 
future for this tulip. An unusually large cup of 
soft yellow-beige with shadings of pale lilac. The 
inside of the cup is a light straw-yellow which

tive and outstanding variety which deserves an im- 
portant place in the garden.
