new GIANT DARWIN TULIPS. aSSSSSs 



These gorgeous new late or May-flowering tulips are very stately and beauti- 

 ful — producing immense flowers on tall sturdy stems attaining a height of 

 from two to three feet. The flowers are models of perfection in form, last- 

 ing wax-like substance — and in a great variety of both dainty and richly bril- 

 liant colorings ranging from blush through pinks, rose, salmon-red, crimson, 

 etc , to rich ox-blood reds, from lavender through mauve, light blue to violet 

 purple, and black. The centers of many of them are beautifully marked. The 

 Darwins also include two or three " near whites " — but clear yellows have not 

 yet been produced. Therefore where the latter color is desired selection should 

 be made from the " Cottage " Tulips offered on pages 14 and 15. The Dar- 

 win Tulips are exceedingly effective when grown in groups of a dozen or more 

 bulbs of one variety in the garden or herbaceous border with a back ground of 

 greenery which enhances their magnificence. The beauty, hardiness and per- 

 petuity of the Darwin Tulips is making them very popular. As cut flowers they 

 are unsurpassable. The long-stemmed bold, durable flowers have a dignity and 

 character exclusively their own. 



To aid in making selections of varieties for continuity of bloom, etc , we 

 have indicated their relative time of flowering by the letters E, F, G, H and I. 

 The E's being the earliest to bloom, just succeeding the latest of the early 

 single and double Tulips offered on pages 10 to 16. The normal height is also 

 given but may vary according to soil, culture and location. The bulbs should 

 be spaced about 5 inches apart and base of the bulbs should be 5 to 6 in deep on 

 heavy soils and 6 to 7 inches deep on light soils. 



Darwin Tulips for Winter Flowering in Pots and Forcing. (See 2d page cover.) 

 Darwin Tulips may be successfully flowered in pots or pans of soil or fibre in the 

 house in winter if not brought in from the cold frame or out-door plunge before 

 the middle of January and then grown on cool and slowly in a temperature of 

 about 60°. The early flowering ones — those marked, E, F and G — will then 

 flower in February and March — the later ones requiring a little more time. Too 

 much heat is apt to cause them to grow spindling and inferior. The varie- 

 ties marked * are especially good for late wintering flowering and forcing.
