DARWIN TULIPS 



For the Open Ground 



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 l^st a long time after cutting, but have an ad- 

 vantage over other classes of late tulips in that 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, they 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 obtainable. The quality of the bulbs will be found 

 unsurpassed. Culture: the same as that for Cottage or Mayflowering Tulips.
