HENDERSON'S 

 SELECTED 



GIANT DARWIN TULIPS 



(See illustration in colors on back cover and engraving on next page) 



THE ELITE OF THE 

 TULIP WORLD 



Darwin Tulips are exceedingly effective when grown in the garden or herbaceous border with a back ground of greenery. - Their beaut}', hardiness and per- 

 petuity has made them very popular. As cut flowers also they are unsurpassable, the long- stemmed, bold, durable flowers having a dignity and character exclusively 

 their own. 



To aid in making selections of varieties for continuity of bloom, etc., we have indicated their relative time of flowering by the letters E, F, G, H and 

 I. The E's being the earliest to bloom. The height is also given but may vary. The bulbs should be spaced about 5 inches apart and base of the bulbs should 

 be 5 to 6 in. deep on heavy soils and 6 to 7 inches deep on light soils. 



Darwin Tulips may be successfully flowered in pots or pans of soil in the house in winter if not brought in from the cold frame or out-door plunge before 

 the middle of January and then grown on cool and slowly in a temperature of about sixty degrees. The early flowering ones — those marked, E, F, and G — will 

 then flower in February and March — the later ones requiring a little more time. Too much heat is apt to cause them to grow spindling and inferior. The varieties 

 marked * are especially good for late wintering flowering and forcing.
