    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This "coffee-brown, maroon-shaded" gem is "undoubtedly the most attractive of the brown tulips," said the John Lewis Childs catalog in 1920 when tulips in so-called art shades such as bronze, buff, terra-cotta, and mauve were the height of fashion. Eight years after it first wowed me at the Hortus Bulborum, we finally have a VERY small supply of bulbs to share with you. Dutch Breeder/Single Late, 18-22", zones 4a-7b(8aWC), from the Hortus.
