NOVELTIES 
There are at least 1000 different varieties of tulips and narcissi. During the 
last ten years the selection has been so improved, that one would think it 
impossible that new varieties could be acquired, which could surpass the 
existing assortment. 
Yet, the Dutch hybridizers never cease in their search for perfection and 
originality. Each year they exhibit their achievements before expert judges, 
who decide whether a new acquisition is really an improvement on an existing 
variety. 
If their decision is favorable, a few bulbs may make their grower a small 
fortune. The sky is the limit, and it still happens that bulbs are sold against 
their weight in gold. 
We have received many inquiries for a more extensive list of varieties than 
our regular catalog. We have made a careful study of most of the novelties, 
that emerged during the last few years, and are preparing a list of the out- 
standing varieties of tulips, daffodils and narcissi, which we consider to be real 
prize winners. 
We shall be glad to send you such a list on request. 
Here are a few special varieties, which we can recommend to any 
Tulip fancier, who would like ‘something different’:
