Customers from coast to coast have written 
us telling how delighted they are with this 
fine collection. We do not believe there is a 
finer in all America. It is strictly a high class 
hand-made mixture, made up by us from fine named 
varieties. It contains all the gorgeous Tulip colors 
from white to black, with many shades of pink, red, 
yellow, lavender, purple, orange, and the lovely blends. 
We include the richly colored Darwins, the exquisite pastel Cottage, 
the huge bold Breeders, the strikingly beautiful Triumphs, some of 
the graceful Lily-shaped. We do not include any of the Early Single 
or Early Double Tulips. 
The flowers are large, on tall stems and bloom here ordinarily in 
late April and early May. The bulbs are the finest quality, large No. 1 
size, imported by us in carload lots direct from the Holland growers. 
If you bought these very same bulbs by name, they would cost you 
much more. 
Tulips are so easy to grow and so colorful in the early spring. 
Plant them in full sun or partial shade (the colors are even richer 
when they get afternoon shade). Set them with the pointed end up, 
6 inches apart and 8 to 9 inches deep. By planting this deep the 
bulbs last longer and come up year after year for several years with- 
out digging them up and resetting. Also this deep planting gen- 
erally- stops mole trouble as they seldom dig this deep. You can 
plant shallow rooted plants like Petunias, Alyssum, Asters, etc., to 
come on and bloom after the Tulips are through. 
Plant plenty for beauty outdoors and also so that you can cut some 
for bouquets. Each collection will contain one or more of the Black 
Tulip pictured just below the Dutch windmill.
