Holland's Favorite Spring Bulbs Are Available In America To Plant Now Tuesday. October 25, Everybody loves Spring bulb flowers but to select a handful of "favorites," from the many thousands of varieties grown in Holland, is truly ai monumental task. Holland bulb I growers, therefore, leave the! decisions as to which are the most outstanding blossoms up to the gardeners of the world. Annually, hundreds of thousands of visitors trek through the world's largest bulb garden, Keukenhof in Liase, Holland. A poll of these sightseers is made to determine which varieties are the "most admired." This list is then proclaimed the "International Holland Bulb Selections." The 19S6 list International Sections includes nine tulips, one hyacinth and one daffodil.

Fortunately, all of the varieties on thi year's list are readily available to American gardeners. Following are the nine tulips which earned a coveted place on the distinguished list of 1966 International Selections: "Dreaming Maid" a member of the Triumph class of tu- iips. This strong stemmed tulip. -Treasuring almost two feet tall, is violet edged with white. It makes an excellent cut flower.

As the name implies, "Sun- kisr," i a deep golden yellow; a member of the ever popular Darwin tulip class. With stems that grow upwards of two feet tall, Sunkist's notable asset is the exceptional life span of its blossom. "Parade" a Darwin Hybird tulip is blazing signal red with a black base and yellow ring. As is usual in the case of all Darwin Hybrids, Parade has ex- ceptionally large flowers which are borne on tall, strong stems. One ot the favorite Cottage tulips.

"Halcro" is also a 1966 selection. It is carmine-red with a yellow base and is trimmec on the edge with green. Like all Cottage tulips, Halcro's blossom is oval shaped and the stem is tall and strong. Perhaps the most exquisite class of tulips is the lily-flowered with its gay, graceful petals resembling lilies. The pure white "White Triumphator" has tall, elegant stems.

Throughout the history of horticulture, flowers have always created interest. In 1966, too, "black" flowers caught the eye of gardeners when they se- elected "Black Parrot" for honors. The color is actually a very deep purple with darker insides. Parrot tulips are an interesting a member of the irumpef family of daffodils artd "La a crimson-rose hyacinth with iarge clusters of beiis, are among the eleven "most admired" bulbs chosen for 1966- Pollys Pointers By POLLY CRAMER Newspaper Enterprise Assn- DEAR POLLY I visit a friend who has no children and therefore no toys for my 3-year-old to play with, we take along our "visiting" box.
