Of course to the out.sider, the addition of one more yellow tulip d. •nc ■"■^\\\':<-r\i,g rjum' • 

 ready known did not seem to be of any great importance, but to those who know Tulip- 

 was an event of great significance. 



Xu golden yellow Dar\^in tulip had ever been seen by the ej'e of man until the advent of 

 mis new variety, Mary Elaton, first shown to admiring thousands at the International Plowrr 

 Shov. . Grand Central Palace, New York, on March 19th. 1928. It is in color a beautiftrf SU' 

 flower yellow, both base and anthers being yellow, so that there is nothing a^o ;• it 

 terfere v^ith the rich golden glow characteristic of this Tulifi. 

 Vaturally. the number of bulbs so far produced is limited because a tuiip btilb i-

 :ew years all tulip lovers will be able to include a yellow Darwin in their collectiotn?. ^\
