Tulip Tips For Beauty

By H.M. Bickart Tulips are the most popular of the bulbous plants. Their range of color is amazing, and their flowering period covers more than two months. By careful selection of colors and types, you can have a beautiful successional display from March to early June in central New Jersey. Types of Tulips available include: Due Van Tholl is the earliest-flowering of the tulip types. A dwarf-type, it produces small and slightly pointed flowers on 6 to 8-inch stems. Its varieties are named by their colors — white, pink, yellow, orange, red, and violet. They are ideal for the rock garden. SINGLE EARLY flowers are fairly large and brightly colored. Their stems are 12 to 15 inches long and are wind resistant. Varieties of this type are excellent for general garden planting and will flower for about two weeks. Triumph is a relatively new type, which was developed by crossing Single Early tulips with Danvins. Flowers bloom immediately after the Single Earlies in late April on stems 16 to 24 inches long Mendel is a type developed by crossing Due Van Tholl tulips with Darwins. Its map varieties have a wide color range. The flowers develop on stems 20 to 24 inches long Double Late is a Mayflowering type, also called "Double Peony" Its color range is excellent For best display, plant bulbs in groups of not less than three to five of a variety The flower stems. 20 to 24 inches long, are strong in newer varieties DARWIN TULIPS, nam ed after the famous naturalist, are known widely for their tall, strong, storm-resistant stems, which reach 30 inches in some varieties The flowers are large, have great substance, and keep well Of late years Darwin and Cottage tulips have been crossbred. The result has been a definite intermingling of characteristics All varieties of the Darwin type are splendid in clumps, in borders, among shrubs, and in front of evergreens. Breeder, one of the oldest types, is truly majestic. Some varieties will growmore than 30 inches tall. The flowers resemble Darwins in form. Their colors are unique and include rich shades of brown, bronze, and buff. Most varieties bloom in May. but the late varieties- will flower into early June in a cool, partly shaded location. COTTAGE IS an excellent type for general garden planting. In fact, its name is derived from the old-fashioned cottage gardens of England and France. Varieties vary greatly in stem lengths. 20 to 30 inches, and in flower shapes. Botanical or Species tulips were found wild in Asia Minor. Most of them are considered pure species. Stem lengths vary from 6 to 15 inches. Flowering bulbs also vary greatly in size. Those of some species are an inch in diameter; others are as

small as a dime. They maybe used in nooks or in rock, gardens where typical garden tulips are out of place. The Kaufmanniana or water-lily tulip and its hybirds flower very early in March; the Sprengen. the latest of all tulips, flowers in early June. Because, their leaves appear early, Species tulips should not be planted until mid-November. (The only exception is Sprengeri. which should be planted in late September or early October for best results. PARROT IS a sport of a Cottage tulip. As cut flowers. Parrot tulips are very striking and distinctive. Cut and fringed petals and rich oriental colorings give them a fantastic appearance. Stems of the old varieties were rather weak, but those of the new introductions are rigid. They vary in length from 15 to 24 inches.

Rembrandt, a sport of a Darwin tulip, blooms at the same time. The flowers are variegated with rich colorings in stripes and flames. Stems are 15 to 24 inches long. Varieties of this interesting type are most attractive in front of evergreens or shrubs, for against such a background the exquisite markings of each flower stand out most effectively. BIZARRE AND Bybloom are spots of Breeder tulips. Varieties of this group probably caused the tulip mania in Holland between 1634 and 1637, when one bulb of the variety Admiraal van Enkhiuzen sold for 11,500 guilders, approximately $3,000 at the present rate of exchange. The Bizarres have brown or purple stripes on a yellow underground. The Byblooms have pink, scarlet, violet, and purple stripes on a white (Page 16 Please)
