Henderson's New Giant Darwin Tulips 



See Color Plate 

 Opposite 



Danvin Tulips are exceedingly effective when grown in the garden or herbaceous border with a background of greenery. The beauty, hardiness and 

 perpetuity of Darwin Tuhps has made them very popular. As cut flowers they are unsurpassable, the long-stemmed bold, durable flowers ha\nng a dignity 

 and character exclusively their own. The varieties marked * are especially good for winter flowering and. forcing. 



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 earhest to bloom. The height is also given, but may 

 vary. The bulbs should be about 5 inches apart and base of the bulbs 

 should be 5 to 6 inches deep en heavy soils and 6 to 7 inches deep on light 



soils. .„ , „
