Recent Introductions—AIll Superb Varieties 
When in 1945 Tulip bulbs could again be imported from Holland, we received 
from Grullemans, the world famous originators of Ideal Darwin Tulips, a selec- 
tion of over 100 varieties of their latest creations. All of these new kinds have 
been carefully tested. The finest of them are now offered in this book and are 
identified by the word “New.” Many are illustrated in color, but printers ink 
cannot do them justice nor is there enough space available to illustrate them 
life-size. 
We can unhesitatingly say that any and all are “tops” in color and quality as 
well as most desirable for our climate. The flowers last longer and are better in 
every respect. Varieties such as Don Alma, Garden Magic, Chinese Bandit, Treasure 
Island, and Wm. Tell are but a few which will enthuse you as much as they have 
done other customers and us as well. 
They are superb and surprising in quality of bloom as well as vigor of growth. 
There is no doubt that these new varieties as well as many others listed in this 
catalog will be “the” popular leaders as soon as they are generally available, just 
as today, Mrs. Grullemans, Glacier, Queen of the Night, and Niphetos are in gen- 
eral demand and recognized as the best in Tulips. All of these were introduced 
by Wayside Gardens some fifteen years ago. 
Quality and Size of Bulbs Offered 
All Tulip bulbs offered are of XX select grade which is a size larger than 
usually offered. They are the best obtainable—the cream of the crop. 
Abraham Lincoln Each 50c, Six $2.70, Doz. $4.85, 25 $9.25, 100. $33.00 
For a number of years, American visitors to the Grullemans Bulb Nurseries have 
consistently picked one variety which appealed ta them more than any other. It Is 
outstanding and a magnificent flower. When last spring, a group of visitors was 
told it would be introduced next year in America, one suggested it be named 
Abraham Lincoln as he said—a great Tulip named for a ‘’great man.’ The color is 
bright crimson-maroon, outer petals shaded somewhat darker, close to chestnut-red, 
base dark blue. The flower is larger than usual and of excellent substance. Height 29 
inches. Unquestionably, the finest Tulip in the deep red shades. 
Advance Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.75, 100 $13.00 
A gorgeous new Hybrid introducing into the Cottage strain the blood of Tulipa Greigi, the finest red 
of the Botanicals. It produces giant, blazing red flowers with glittering black centers, growing on 
strong stems about 30 inches tall. 
Annie Speelman Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $14.00 
A tremendous white Tulip with white base and anthers. The flower is oval-shaped and of remarkable 
texture. A beautiful garden Tulip of great substance. Will last from two to three weeks, when cut 
the flower does not open too wide when placed in a warm room. Straight, stiff stem. Height 30 inches. 
Arabian Night (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00 
Large, perfectly shaped flowers of heavy texture and substance. The color is a most unusual Indian 
red with darker sheen. No such color has heretofore been available among the Darwin Tulips, nor the 
flower substance. Stems are 28 inches high. Here is a magnificent dark red Tulip without an equal. 
We consider it the finest of the dark reds in commerce today. Until last year it was only available in 
limited quantities but we are happy to announce a good supply. 
Atlantic Six $1.35, Doz. $2.40, 25 $4.35, 100 $15.50 
The form and habit of this variety are perfect. A Tulip of no mean qualities and of rare beauty. For 
three years in our trial garden it has been greatly admired. The cup-shaped flower is of good size and 
of the richest and most brilliant intense deep purple which shines when the sun strikes it. The anthers 
are pitch-black and the base of deepest blue. A glorious Tulip on a 29-inch stem. Plant it together 
with ideal Darwin Glacier, for stunning effect. 
Belle Jaune Six $1.05, Doz. $1.70, 25 $3.00, 100 $11.00 
A beautiful and outstanding yellow hybrid Cottage Tulip, in fact it is one of the finest of the deep 
yellow. The egg-shaped blossoms are perfect; outside petals are a deep golden yellow; inside sparkling 
yellow of slightly lighter tone, pure yellow anthers. Stems are strong and erect, about 28 inches tall. 
Bronze Glory Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.65, 100 $16.75 
This is one of the most exotic of Tulips in this list. The coloring is superb. The handsomely shaped 
blooms are rich copper shaded alive and purple; a combination of colors so rich it never fails to draw 
attention and receive admiration. The excellent substance of the flower and rigid stem make this Tulip 
one of the choicest. Height 29 inches.
