 TULIPS 



The Famous Darwin Tulip, Clara Butt 



This magnificent May-flowering class has within the past few 

 years by sheer force of their many merits forged their way to 

 popularity by leaps and bounds, and are now grown by almost 

 everybody who loves spring flowers; they are quite distinct in 

 style of growth from the other late-flowering sorts; stately in 

 appearance, attaining a height of 24 to 30 inches, and bearing 

 on long strong straight stems beautiful globular flowers of re- 

 markably heavy texture, in a large range of colors, embracing 

 almost every conceivable tint in rose, heliotrope, claret, ma- 

 roon, crimson and other' rich and rare shades. The only color 

 in which they are deficient is yellow, and for this the May. 

 flowering Tulip Inglescombe Yellow, as well as the other yel- 

 low sorts, offered on page 10 supplies the wanted color per- 

 fectly. Unsurpassed for bedding and for cutting, and most of 

 the varieties can be forced into bloom in March without much 

 trouble. At the National Flower Show, held in Philadelphia, 

 March 25th, 1916, we exhibited a number of pans of these in 

 bloom, which attracted the attention and admiration of thousands ol 

 visitors. 



We offer below a collection of six super-superb sorts, which covers 

 the best of recent introductions, while on the opposite page we list 

 twenty-four of the finest standard varieties selected out of a large collec- 

 tion as being the best and most distinct. 



Six Super-Superb Darwin Tulips

 vious introductions of similar color.
