GIANT DARWIN TULIPS. 



The Gorgeous New Late^ Flowering Section. 



The new Giant Darwin Tulips are late May-flowering Garden Tulips and 

 produce very large bowl formed flowers of symmetrical shape and lasting wax 

 like substance, on tall, strong stems, 2 to 3 feet high, and are exceedingly 

 beautiful and effective grown in groups, in the shrubbery or herbaceous border, 

 or in gardens with a background of greenery. They by far surpass in color 

 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 bro-nnn to what is believed to 

 be the darkest black in the floral world.
