New Introductions That Have Been Awarded First-Class Certificates of Merit by the 



Holland Horticultural Society. 



Choice Selected Exhibition Varieties of Giant Darwin Tulips 



These May flowering Darwin Tulips produce the most gorgeous garden display of the entire 

 year, and it is evident that their great and sustained popularity is not due to a passing fancy on the 

 part of the garden-loving public: but to an ever increasing appreciation of their surpassing beauty, 

 and their great value as gardening material. 



Their graceful form, the endless variety of colors to be had, and their dependability for bloom, 

 combine to make them the most desirable flowers any one could wish for. 



Darwin Tulips range in color through an astonishing array of pink, rose, scarlet, crimson and 

 maroon shades to almost black, and then again through lilac, mauve, violet and purple to almost 

 black. 



Darwin Tulips have a peculiarity, or dlstlniiulshinii characteristic, which many tulip 

 lovers have noticed, but which is usually lacking in published descriptions. We refer to 

 the "overcast" or "bloom" on most varieties which is just the same as the bloom on a 

 lirape. it is this "bloom" that imparts to them their soft pastel appearance, and it 

 really transforms positive colors into soft aesthetic shades of the same color. 



The Tulips comprised in this offering, some of them novelties and others of recent introduction, 

 have all been selected by our experts, while in bloom at our Trial Grounds at Teaneck, N. J., as 

 the very best of their colors and shades, from hundreds of other named varieties. Instructions for 

 culture can be found in our pamphlet "How to Grow Bulbs," sent free to all.
