HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1928 



Outdoor Culture of Darwin Tulips 



Planted in the Herbaceous Border; in clumps along the 

 edge of Shrubberies; or in formal beds Darwin Tulips give 

 universal satisfaction. Any fairly good garden soil will do 

 for them and the bulbs should be planted 5 to fi inches 

 deep and not less than 5 inches apart. 



If sand to the depth of half an inch is laid in the hole 

 first it will greatly aid drainage during wet weather al- 

 though this is not essential. The bulbs need not be dis- 

 turbed during the first two years and other shallow rooted 

 planted may be grown over them. Our booklet "How to 

 Grow Bulbs" sent free to all applicants. -SVe also page 23. 



HENDERSON'S 

 New Giant Darwin Tulips 



Continued 



The combinations of color that may be made are endless. Combinations 

 of lavenders, lilacs, luauves, violets and purples are especially good; and the 

 rich scarlets, pinks and crimsons, most of them having rose shadings, make 

 the most brilliant displays when in bloom, that can be imagined. 



As observed before, all Darwins are beautifully shaded; in many softs the 

 edges of the petals are lighter than their centers, and still others have very 

 striking blue and violet bases. The stems of Darwins are very long, rendering 

 them ideal for cutting purposes. Some varieties reach a height of three feet, 

 under good cultivation, but two feet in height is a good average. 



To aid in making selections for continuity of bloom, etc., we have indi- 

 cated their relative time of flowering by the letters E. F. G, H and 1. The 

 E's being the earliest to bloom. The height is also given, but may vary.
