Dutch Nubrids The Climax

Grown from Hand-Pollinated Seed 
Particularly noted for suberb blossoms, smooth petaled and perfect in 
form, the Van Tubergen hybrids take second place to none! Despite 
the Herculean task of producing exhibition size Amaryllis in pure, self 
colors by propagation from seed, the gorgeous Van Tubergen hybrids 
have been stabilized to a remarkable extent! 
They are truly beautiful .. . perfect in form, substance, size and bear- 
ing, with only slight variations in shade and tone. They are also quite 
a little less in price than the other Dutch Masters’ Named Varieties, 
because the method of propagation by hand-pollinated seed is much 
quicker than the vegetative process. 
VAN TUBERGEN’S EXHIBITION SIZE BULBS 
fall into two separations — “The Strong Select” Bulbs, which have 2 and 
sometimes 3, scapes, each bearing from 3 to 4 blossoms. “The Good 
Flowering Size” Bulbs produce 1 scape, often 2, which bears 3 to 4 
blossoms.
