Darwin Tulips 



'TFhe Tulip Aristocrats" 



For the Open Ground 



The flowers of this superb class have well beeu 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 yellow 

 Darwins. The varieties we offer have 

 been selected from a very large list after 

 careful trials and we believe they are 

 the most satisfactory that are obtainable.

Rembrandt Tulips 



Late Flowering for the Open Ground 



The flowers of this new class of late 

 tulips are much like Darwins but are 

 striped and feathered, in this respect 

 resembling the Byblooms formerly so 

 much used. The late Rembrandts, 

 however, are larger than Byblooms, 

 and come in a greater variety of shades 

 and colors. They are of fine form and 

 substance, lasting w^ell after cutting.
