Darwin Tulips 



I HE Darwin Tulips were developed in the north of France. Because of 

 their unusual claritv of color, large flowers and long stems, they have become 

 the favorite spring flower of America. 



These tulips bloom in late May and for several weeks make a glorious display. 

 Their colors include not onlv manv brilliant variations of scarlet and crimson, 

 but shades of rose, pink, violet, and purple as well. The hues are unsurpassed 

 for their delicacy and richness of color. 



Breeder Tulips 



These tulips and the Darwins bloom at the same time. Those who like the 

 rich, somber shades cannot fail to appreciate the artistic blendings of purple, 

 old gold, bronze, terra cotta, buff and maroon that are found in the majestic 

 breeder tulips. The flowers are very large, sweet scented and splendid for 

 cutting. 



Cottage Tulips 



The Cottage Tulips bloom in early May. The long, oval flowers are deli- 

 cately and artistically tinted in yellow, orange, salmon and old rose. These 

 hne spring garden flowers are the best for cutting. 



The center of interest is the Darwin Tulip (Clara Butt), a beautiful shade of pink.
