“Darwin’? 
The following is a carefully selected 
list of some of the best single and dou- 
ble late Tulips of garden origin. They 
have longer and more graceful flower- 
stalks than the early species and are 
good for cutting. “There are many 
other good vars. in the trade. Plant 
in late Sept. or in Oct. at a depth of 4 
in, to the bottom of the bulb, allowing 
4in. between each. Protect in winter 
and give an occasional top-dressing. 
Bulbous. Prop. by offsets. Light soil. 
If drainage is poor, put sand around 
the bulb. See Plate, page 161.
