The tulips offered on these first 3 
pages are all large May flowering, tall 
(20"-34”) tulips. Since these tulips 
(which include the Cottage, Darwin, 
Breeder and others) all flower at ap- 
proximately the same time and so can be 
planted together effectively, we separate 
ULIPS., 
them only in color groups for easier 
selection. The code letter following each 
variety indicates the’ relative earliness 
in flowering and the number, the usual 
height in inches. We furnish top size, 
plump bulbs in every case.
