Mendel Tulips 
(Mid-season) 
This type owesits particularvalue to the fact that it hascontracted the glorious colours and the astounding 
value for the garden of the Darwin Tulips and the earliness of Duc van Tholl. They are of excellent 
habit and beauty and flower in the garden 10 to 14 days earlier than Darwins, thus bridging the interval 
between Single Early and Triumph Tulips. Most varieties can be forced quite easily, early and in a 
short time and this adds considerably to their value. In the description of each variety, the approximate 
forcing date is mentioned. 
Origin: The name of this race was given to a group of varieties obtained from cross-polination between 
Duc van Tholl and Darwin Tulips by Messrs. E. H. Krelage & Son of Haarlem, Holland. These 
seedlings flowered for the first time in 1915 and were introduced at Haarlem in 1921. They caused a 
real sensation and fancy prices were paid for the stocks. 
Forcing: They may at once be exposed to the full light contrary to all other Tulips which should be 
started in the dark. If for some unforeseen reason the height is not obtained and the bulbs are found to 
be lazy, they should be left in the dark for a few days and thus encourage the sprouts to lengthen. See 
information on page 2.
