Excerpt from Bulbs and Plants for Fall Planting, 1932
The most marked difference is in the new colorings, so much desired. In many of them the so-called Pastel colors and shades are outstanding and on the whole soft and light tones predominate including the creamy-white and snow-white which are so desirable for contrasts in the garden, differing from the intense and vivid colors of the true Darwins.
The size of the flowers average larger and their habit of growth is different in that the flowers are borne on more Wiry stems which makes for a more graceful appearance.
Their lasting qualities both in the garden and after being cut is very marked. Ideal tulips show a big superiority in this respect to most other kinds.
