Rembrandt Tulips 
(May-flowering) 
The Rembrandt Tulips comprise a strain of Darwin Tulips, which have broken into a per- 
manent variegation. The flowers are beautifully striped and blotched, and are remarkably attrac- 
tive in flower-beds and borders. They were named Rembrandt Tulips on account of their resem- 
blance to the Tulip flowers, seen in Old Dutch Paintings.

flowers of brilliant deep red with broad marbled white lines and markings.

Fosteriana Species & Hybrids 
Is it not somewhat remarkable to think that after more than three centuries of careful cultiva- 
tion and hybridising,Western Europe has not been able to produce anything to match in size and 
brilliancy of color with these Bokhara Tulips growing wild on the mountain slopes of the Asiatic 
desert. We may, however, predict that by the influence of Tulipa Fosteriana in course of time an 
extremely large new strain of Tulips will be produced that will stand out in size and color such as 
Tulipa Fosteriana Red Emperor (Mad. Lefeber), Holland’s Glory etc.

and black, tall. $ 1.70 per doz.; $ 12.00 per 100
