MENDEL TULIPS 
Specially Recommended For Forcing 
This race of Tulips is the result of crossing Duc-Van Tol Single 
Early Tulips, and Darwins, in order to obtain varieties possessing 
the good qualities of both classes. Mendels have the early forcing 
qualities of the Single Early and the stems are nearly as tall 
as those of the Darwins. 
All varieties force very readily and are recommended for 
this purpose only. For the garden we strongly recommend the 
Triumph varieties, which bloom at the same time as the Mendels 
—about ten days before the May-flowering kinds.
