The immense- 

 flowered 

 " Darwins'* 

 represent 



Tulip 



perfection. 



They are 



enchantingly 



lovely 



arwins 



Great, bowl-shaped 

 flowers on stems 2 to 3 

 feet long. Beautiful be- 

 yond description 

 and remarkable 

 for their bril- 

 l 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. We had the leading 

 Darwin specialist in Holland send 

 us a special collection for trial, from 

 which we chose the following: ' 

 Baron de la Tonnaye. Vivid pink, mar- 

 gined with silvery rose or blush. Flowers very large. The 

 leading pink.

deeper, with blue base.

This color blends nicely with the purple shades.
