The New Ideal 
The demand for these Tulips by our customers has increased each year by leaps and bounds. 
Lovely, gay and sparkling colors added to the fact that they have a very long period of bloom, 
are responsible for their increasing popularity. 
The Ideal Darwin Tulip is the result of the crossing of the common Darwin Tulips with a 
Wild Tulip or Tulip species made some years ago by Grullemans of Holland. The bulbs finally 
selected from the thousands of seedlings showed the movigorating effect of new blood, resulting in 
cleaner and clearer colors as well as larger, longer-lasting blooms.
