Darwins 



'. / 



A giant Darwin bloom 



Pride of Haarlem. (See front cover.) Brilliant rosy 

 carmine with electric-blue base; very large flower of 

 superb form. A wonderful Tulip, stately in habit, 

 sweet-scented and unsurpassed for mass planting. 



Psyche. Rich rose-color, inside silvery rose with a 

 pale blue base. 



(keat, bowl-shaped 

 llowers on stems 2 to 3 

 foct long. Beautiful be- 

 yond description 

 and remarkable 

 f(jr their bril- 

 1 i a n c y and 

 variety of 

 coloring. The 

 name "Darwin" 

 was given these 

 magnificent Tulips 

 in honor of the great 

 evolutionist, as they 

 are a development 

 from other kinds and 

 were first offered for sale 

 in 1889. Since then their 

 popularity has increased 

 to such an extent that 

 enough cannot be grown to 

 meet the demand. When 

 planting, put an inch of sand at 

 the base of each bulb to provide 

 drainage. 



One cannot grow these glorious 



Darwins and not become enthusiastic 



about them. They have a charm and 



dignity all their own, and the amazing range 



of colors in which they come gives an opportunity to follow 



out any color scheme you may have in mind. They bloom in 



this latitude about May 15, and because they develop slowly 



they last much longer than other classes of Tulips. 



We furnish Mixed Darwins at $3.50 per 100, postpaid, but 

 even well-mixed Darwins do not give the fidl satisfaction that 

 comes from planting the named kinds.

or blush. The leading pink.

deeper, with blue base. We recommend this highly.

fine form.

 velvety sheen in the sunlight.

 pink.
