MENDEL TULIPS SPECIALLY 
RECOMMENDED FOR FORCING 
This race of Tulips is the result of crossing Duc Van Tol Single Early Tulips, and 
Darwins, in order to obtain varieties possessing the good qualities of both classes. 
Mendels have the early forcing qualities of the Single Early and the stems are nearly 
as tall as those of the Darwins. 
All varieties force very readily and are recommended for this purpose only. For 
the garden we strongly recommend the Triumph varieties, which bloom at the same 
time as the Mendels—about ten days before the May-flowering kinds. 
The date mentioned is the earliest that particular variety may be brought into 
the greenhouse.
