lavender, violet, salmon-pink, red, purple, and a series of the 

 deepest black-purple, represented by Zulu and Velvet King, the 

 latter with a beautiful satiny lustre. A new Darwin tulip was 

 called Katherine Havemeyer, in honor of the wife of the presi- 

 dent of the society. This was described as a purple-carmine, 

 edged with buff, quite different from any other Darwin exhibited. 

 The cottage tulips were brighter in color, with clear colors. 

 The Darwins run to soft colors, giving them a great value for 

 cut flowers for which their long stiff' stems make them further 

 desirable.
