Nodern Breeder, Darwin and 
Recent Introductions- 
When in 1945 Tulip bulbs could again be imported from 
Holland, we received from Grullemans, the world famous 
originators of Ideal Darwin Tulips, a selection of over 100 
varieties of their latest creations. All of these new kinds have 
been carefully tested. The finest of them are now offered in 
this book and are identified by the word “New.” Many are 
illustrated in color, but printer’s ink cannot do them justice 
nor is there enough space available to illustrate them life- 
SIZ. 
We can unhesitatingly say that any and all are “tops” in 
color and quality as well as most desirable for our climate. 
The flowers last longer and are better in every respect. Va- 
rieties such as Don Alma, Kennard, Garden Magic, Chinese 
Bandit, Treasure Island, and Wm. Tell are but a few which 
will enthuse you as much as they have done other customers 
and us as well.
