DARWIN TUUPS 



For the Open Ground 



The flowers of this superb class have ^vell been called "The Tulip Aristocrats." The remarkably 

 brilliant coloring and splendid substance of their distinctly globular or cup shaped flowers of large size, 

 their long strong stems and robust growth of plant, make them unsurpassed for May blooming in the 

 garden. Darwins are not only very desirable for outdoor bedding and last a long time after cutting, 

 but have an advantage over other classes of late tulips in that they may be forced in pots provided it is 

 done slowly. Another remarkable characteristic of Darwins is that the color inside the flower is just as 

 bright and sometimes even brighter than the outside. There are no true yellow Darwins. The varieties 

 we offer have been selected from a very large list after careful trials and we believe they are the most 

 satisfactorj' that are obtainable.
