whe Tulip Caleekon 
Many of the following 72 varieties of Tulips (all of those marked new) 
were introduced shortly after the war. After undergoing considerable testing 
here privately they have more than proved themselves adaptable in this cli- 
mate. In vigor, quality of bloom, in staying power in the garden or bowl— 
they are in every way superior to pre-war varieties. They are also quite 
reasonable. 
This is a remarkable family of bulbs with a wide range of form. They run 
from the huge Darwins to the more delicate Cottage type, to the exquisitely 
shaped Lily-flowering kind, to the flamboyant Peony and Parrot types. Each 
is useful, each type should be represented in clumps about a garden. 
The Breeder, Darwin and Ideal Darwins follow immediately. They have 
been separated into general color groups to assist you in selecting and 
blending them. This was no simple chore and we trust you appreciate it.
