MAY - FLOWERING 
These are the queenly Aristocrats 
of the Tulip Kingdom. Tall, stately 
and elegant, in a fascinating selection 
of gay and sparkling colors that de- 
light the most discriminating gar- 
deners. 
They are known throughout the 
world for their particularly tall, strong 
stems; their large, well-formed flowers; 
heavy petal substance; rich, brilliant 
colors; long-blooming period, and ma- 
jestic bearing. 
Years ago Darwin and Cottage 
Tulips were two distinct groups with 
very apparent differences in habit, 
Structure and appearance. But they 
have been cross-bred to such an extent 
that there is a great intermingling of 
characteristics, and no longer any rea- 
son for keeping them separate. For 
the convenience of those desiring to 
know which group a variety belongs 
to, we have labeled all “Cottage” 
types in parenthesis directly following 
the height. Those not labeled are all 
“Darwins.” 
PURE WHITES 
This is the finest selection of Pure White Darwin 
and Cottage Tulips in America — each one me- 
ticulously chosen to include all variations in size, 
shape, and height. 
V_ STRAIN #52 
BLANCA. (22 inches high). A lovely pure glistening white with 
rather large cupped shaped flowers that open wide. Particularly 
chosen for its perfection of form and broad well proportioned 
petals. The stems are moderately tall, but very strong and stiff 
and resistant to wind. The pure white of the flowers is softly 
enhanced by light sulphur-yellow anthers. A fine Van Tubergen 
origination, 
3-60c 6-$1.05 12-$1.85 25-$3.40 100-$12.75 
V STRAIN #125 
GLACIER. (30 inches high). Here is one of the most magnificent 
white Tulips ever created. It is a varietal giant, with tremendous 
oval shaped flowers of great substance. Very long lasting as a cut 
flower or in the garden, usually remaining in full glory for at 
least 3 weeks. It is just about the largest Tulip known, as some 
of the flower petals will measure 6 inches in length. Stems are 
very long, straight and strong. A real treasure in any garden, or 
collection.

V_STRAIN #54 
WHITE CITY. (28 inches high). (Cottage). Another superb variety 
with large, tall snow-white flowers and creamy anthers. It has 
long been a favorite with home gardeners because of this depend- 
ability and permanence in the garden. The well formed flowers 
are carried on strong straight stems, Not quite as bold and domi- 
nant as Glacier, but very showy and attractive. 
3-60c 6-$1.05 12-$1.85 25-$3.40 
V_ STRAIN #55 
WHITE GIANT. (28 inches high). This is the real giant among the 
whites. A bold flashing beauty of purest snow white, with ex- 
ceptionally heavy petals that withstand heavy rains and winds. 
Excellent Darwin form. Straight, stiff and tall stems. One of the 
best white tulips ever created. 
3-60c 6-$1.05 12-$1.90 
V_ STRAIN #56 
ZWANENBURG. (28 inches high). This is the most refined, perfectly 
formed of the white Darwin Tulips, with excellent substance and 
noble bearing. Although not as bold and showy as White Giant, 
it is more of an aristocrat. Has jet black anthers which create 
a striking contrast in the garden. This is a Van Tubergen origi- 
nation that has created a sensation since the first day of its 
introduction.
