The Tuside 
Story 
ae revealed by 
Your Dutch Uncle 
Unfortunately, flower lovers have never been fully informed of the full 
beauty of Tulips. Generally, they are pictured as you see them growing in the 
field behind me—brilliant, large-cupped flowers on stately stems. Actually, 
there is a magic beauty to be found in the heart of many Tulip varieties. You 
will find, inside the flower-cup, exquisite patterns in various shapes and colors— 
some'contrasting, while others blend with the over-all color. In others, you will 
detect luxuriant halos cradled deep within the flower! Frankly, are you aware 
of this inner beauty of Tulips? And here’s a tip: For unusual floral arrangements, 
just turn back the flower petals to display these exquisite interiors. 
What “Wage Jreasure’ Unfolds the Geauty of Tulips? 
If you cut through a flower bulb in the fall, you will find the embryo of the 
flower complete in every detail. It is essential that this flower bud, which is 
growing constantly, is carefully preserved by giving the bulbs the proper care 
and handling from the time they are harvested in Holland till you plant them. 
When you purchase your bulbs, make certain that this ‘‘magic treasure’’ has 
been protected so your bulbs will unfold into glorious beauty in your garden 
next spring.
