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

 year, and it is evident that their great and sustainod popularity is not duo 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. 



Thefr 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. Until the Introduction of our now Tulip Mary Eaton there were no yellow Darwlns. 

 There are however several yellow varieties of Cottago Tulips, 



Darwin Tulips have a peculiarity, or dis(lniui»hinii 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 

 drape. 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.

J y[ have all been selected by our experts, whilo in bloom at our Trial Grounds at Teanock, N. J., as
