TRIUMPH 
Triumph Tulips resulted from crossing 
Single Earlies with Darwins, and they de- 
serve even greater popularity than they 
have received. They are medium tall, with 
very strong stems and attractive colors and 
combinations of colors. Excellent for forc- 
ing. 
BREEDER 
These bloom a trifle later than Darwins, 
also have tall stems, but they come in a 
totally different range of colors which in- 
clude buffs, bronzes, purple-bronze, gold, 
terra cotta, etc., frequently blended. The 
“Indian’’ group we list are new types of 
Breeders which should appeal to the more 
advanced and particular lover of Tulips. 
INDIAN 
As mentioned above, 
these are actually 
Breeders, but are con- 
sidered sufficiently dis- 
tinctive to warrant 
special mention. Those 
of your customers who 
really like tulips will 
welcome these new col- 
ors. 
BOTANICAL TULIPS 
(Tulipa Species) 
All so-called Botanical Tulips (Tulipa spe- 
cies) are natives of Asia Minor and central 
Asia. All of them bloom early, have bright 
colors and recurved petals. They tolerate 
shade better than Tulips and are especially 
attractive in rock gardens and hardy bor- 
ders. Red Emperor is especially recom- 
mended. 
NARCISSI—DAFFODILS 
For outdoor use, plant the bulbs as early 
as possible in the Fall, 6 to 7 inches deep 
and 6 to 9 inches apart. Indoors, treat 
them the same as Tulips, but barely cover 
the bulbs with soil, and water copiously. 
We offer two sizes of bulbs, Double Nose 
Il (DN Il) for outdoor use, and the larger 
(2) 
Double Nose | (DN 1) for forcing. The larger 
bulbs will be supplied only on early orders, 
as we will not carry a surplus stock of them. 
Where an asterisk (*) appears before the 
name, the variety is suitable for forcing. 
These are commonly called Daffodils, but 
botanically they are Narcissi, and include 
a number of types or classes as described 
briefly below. They bloom early and long, 
making them ideal for beds, borders or 
naturalizing. The part which grows from 
the center of the flower is called a trumpet 
when it is long, a crown or cup when me- 
dium size, and an eye when very small. 
TRUMPET 
This type of Narcissi has trumpets which 
are as long as or longer 
than the perianth petals. 
The stems are strong and 
than a_ foot tall. 
Trumpet Narcissi may be 
more 
yellow, white or bi-color. 
INCOMPARABILIS 
In this class, the trumpet or crown is 
medium in length, one- 
third to the full length of 
the perianth. The range 
of colors includes yellow 
and orange crowns, yel- 
low and white perianths.

BARRII 
Another class with me- 
dium length cup which is 
less than one-third the 
length of the perianth. In- 
cluded in this group are 
some of the deepest red 
cupped varieties.
