PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 



Henderson's Giant Darwin Tulips — General List 



Darwin Tulips are exceedingly effective when grown in groups of a dozen 

 or more bulbs of one variety in the garden or herbaceous border with a back- 

 ground of greenery. As cut flowers they are unsurpassable. They can be 

 successfully flowered in pots or pans in the house in winter if grown cool and 

 not forced into bloom before March. The varieties marked * are especially 

 good for that purpose. 



To aid in making selections of varieties for continuity of bloom, etc., we 

 have indicated their relative time of flowering by the letters E, F, G, H and 

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

 vary. The bulbs should be spaced about 5 inches apart and base of the bulbs 

 should be 5 to 6 inches deep on heavy soils and 6 to 7 inches deep on light 

 soils.
