Farquhar's Giant Darwin Tulips 



The Giant Darwins combine immense size with perfection of bloom, and are carried gracefully erect on fine stems 2 to 3 feet tall. 

 Colors range from purest white to blush, pink, salmon, shades of red, maroon, purple and almost black; recently some very fine yel- 

 lows have been introduced of which we offer the choicest varieties. Darwins bloom with the columbines in late May and make a 

 glorious display for several weeks. Effective grouped in front of shrubbery and evergreens, or planted in beds or perennial borders. 



The bulbs we offer are of the finest quality and will produce magnificent blooms. Plant them in October or November, 5 to 6 

 inches deep and 5 to 6 inches apart; a light mulch should be provided after the first hard freeze. 



When forcing Darwins indoors, the soil and general treatment recommended for hyacinths may be used. Plant three to five bulbs, 

 according to size, in a 5-inch pot, or ten to twelve in an 8-inch pan. The varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are best for forcing, 

 and are equally desirable for outdoor culture. 



Six bulbs at dozen rate; 25 at 100; 250 at 1,000. If wanted by Parcel Post, add postage at zone rates; weight per 100 bulbs, 7 lbs.
