A- Ray “lated Hybrid “Tulips 
The miracle of X-Ray and the skill of a young Dutch schoolteacher 
gives you garden Tulips so strange in pattern, so new in form 
and color, that you have never seen them anywhere before — 
even in your dreams! Until a short time ago, these Tulips simply 
did not exist, and would never have been created at all if a 
teacher in the town of Lisse had not experimented with the effects 
of X-Ray irradiation on healthy Tulip bulbs. The X-Ray jumbled, 
split up, and then re-combined the chromosomes in the bulbs, 
and when they burst into bloom, the young teacher beheld in 
amazement and delight flowers that were doubled in size, blooms 
with unique shapes, others with curious fringed petals, still others 
with rare fragrance. There were thousands from which to choose, 
and a few were named and registered. Four years ago, a hatful 
of a strikingly clear yellow variety was traded for a new Cadillac! 
The stock of unnamed seedlings has now become a burden of 
expense to the schoolteacher, and he has decided to offer a part 
of the stock to Breck’s. Plant in groups of 3 or 6. 22 to 26 
inches tall.
