GRANDMOTHER'S 
7, COLLECTION 
/ ‘Old favorites ... forgotten by many .. . NEVER 
matched in Beauty .. .’’ 
Those were the words of the charming, elderly lady whoxe 
tulip garden held me speechless in delight a Spring or so 
ago. Remember, I told you about it last year, and how 
she said .. . “My neighbors think I hold some magic spell 
over tulips. Year after year, I have the most beautiful 
tulip beds in this whole valley—and with only a little bit 
of the care compared with the time my neighbors have to 
give their gardens, I’m no magician but I am tricky 
enough to select the varieties that are the easiest to grow.” 
You were so pleased and enthused over the Grandmother’s 
Collection in which I assembled the same “old favorites” 
from Van Tubergen’s tremendous tulip selections last 
year, that I am again assembling just such collections 
that you may share in the happiness which is hers each 
beautiful Springtime.
