MOST EXCITING 
TULIP NEWS IN YEARS! 
NOW! FAMOUS “ROYAL NETHERLANDS” TULIPS— 
HOLLAND'S FINEST TOP-SIZE JUMBO TULIPS 
These Tulips were selected from varieties exhibited in Holland's famous Tulip 
| Gardens. This is the garden you will see practically duplicated in your own 
backyard. Not just Tulips. Not just a spring Tulip garden! But an authentic, im- 
ported ‘Royal Netherlands” Tulip Garden—prize-winning tulips—guaranteed to 
electrify your grounds. Now your home will be the springtime showplace of the 
neighborhood! 
Longer blooming period despite changeable U.S. Spring weather. Home in Hol- 
land, spring is a nice, long, cool, moist, unchanging affair—very kind to Tulipdom. 
Tulips bloom early—hold their peak of bloom for weeks and weeks. Here in 
America, things happen fast—even weather. It's in like a lion, out like a lamb— 
freeze one day, broil the next... very hard on tulips. Sometimes blooms last only 
a week or less. 
Now—Stern's Nurseries brings you the ‘Royal Netherlands” Tulip Collection— 
selected varieties guaranteed to thrive in your garden. Each bulb okayed by- 
Stern’s experts—checked and rechecked—then rejected or approved for maxi- 
mum growth and blooming period for U.S. climatic conditions. Only the strongest 
...Most sturdy of stem and foliage... the largest... the tallest... the most bril- 
liant...the purest of color—only these are considered. 
BEAUTIFUL COLORS 
And what colors! Colors chosen by Dutch gardeners-to-the-Queen as most lovely. 
Every imaginable hue—from shell-like pinks and buttery yellows to royal orange, 
reds like the sun’s afire, and deep jet purple almost as black as moonless mid- 
night. And all this beauty... this exciting rainbow spectacle...this authentic 
“Royal Netherlands’ Tulip Garden can be yours starting next spring—and for 
many, many springs to come! :
