The flowers of this superb class have well 

 been called "The Tulip Aristocrats." The 

 remarkably brilliant coloring and splendid 

 substance of their large globular or cup shaped 

 flowers, their long strong stems and robust 

 growth of plant, make them unsurpassed for 

 May blooming in the garden. Darwins are 

 not only desirable for outdoor bedding and 

 last a long time after cutting, but they may 

 be forced in pots provided it is done slowly 

 They range in color from the softest pink 

 through shades of rose and crimson, mauve, 

 violet, purple and maroon; there are, however, 

 no true yellows but these may be supplied by 

 the substitution of some of the Cottage Tulips. 

 The varieties we offer have been selected from 

 a very large list after careful trials and we 

 believe they are the most satisfactory obtain- 

 able. The quality of the bulbs will be found 

 unsurpassed. Culture: the same as that for 

 Cottage or May flowering Tulips.
