THE RENAISSANCE OF OLD ENGLISH AND FLEMISH 



Late or May-Flowering Hardy Garden Tulips. 



r 



CHESE grand late flowering garden Tulips are on the rising tide of popularity. They do not supplant early Tulips for forcing, nor for design bedding, for late 

 Tulips would not be out of the way in time for summer bedding plants: but for mixed gardens, herbaceous borders, sunny positions in proximity to shrubbery, 

 etc. — where these late Tulips need not be disturbed, they will prove a source of great satisfaction, being very hardy, continuing to grow, increase and flower 

 for many years — conditions being at all congenial — many of the varieties having been collected from the cottage gardens of England, Scotland, Ireland, Flanders, 

 etc., where they have been growing in some cases for 50 years. They should be planted an inch or two deeper than early Tulips, and best effects are secured by 

 planting them in large clumps or groups. They may also be naturalized in the grass, wild gardens, etc. During May they present a gorgeous appearance, the flowers 

 of most of them being very large, of durable substance, beautifully formed and borne on tall stiff stems, rendering them of exceptional value when cut for vases. 

 The new Darwin Tulips are late May-flowering Garden Tulips and produce very large flowers of symmetrical form or on tall, strong stems, 2 to 3 feet high. They 

 by far surpass in colors and brilliancy anything before known in Tulips. They include almost every conceivable color and shade, from the daintiest blue to the 

 darkest violet, from soft rose to the most brilliant red, and from light brown to what is believed to be the darkest black in the floral world.
