SUPERB 



DARWIN 



TULIPS 



This magnificent May-flowering class has within the past few 

 years by sheer force of their many merits forged their way to 

 popularity by leaps and bounds, and are now grown by almost 

 everybody who loves spring flowers; they are quite distinct in 

 style of growth- from the other late-flowering sorts; stately in 

 appearance, attaining a height of 24 to 30 inches, and bearing 

 on long strong straight stems beautiful globular flowers of re- 

 markably heavy texture, in a large range of colors, embracing 

 almost every conceivable tint in rose, heliotrope, claret, ma- 

 roon, crimson and other rich and rare shades. The only color 

 in which they are deficient is yellow, and for this the May- 

 flowering Tulip Inglescombe Yellow, as well as the other yel- 

 low sorts, offered on page 11, supplies the wanted color per- 

 fectly. Unsurpassed for bedding and for cutting, and most of 

 the varieties can be forced into bloom in March without mnchi 

 trouble. At the National Flower Show, held in Philadelphia^ 

 March 25th, 1916, we exhibited a number of pans of these fni 



bloom which attracted the attention and admiration of thousands of 



visitors.
