“Reports from abroad indicate that our stem measurements are far too 
conservative. Kindly note that this work was done in Holland in our 
very cool or cold Spring Seasons and that all heights are relative. In 
Northern Scotland and in the United States, Mayflowering and Darwin 
Tulips often grow 10” higher than we indicate. One overseas observer 
reports in May 1953 that the variety Mamasa (23”) reached 39” from 
ground level to top of petals in his trials. This ‘‘stretching’” takes place 
in Triumph Tulips also when strength of bulbs and conditions during 
the flowering season encourage it”.
