Beckert's 

 Giant Darwin Tulips 



Without question, the Darwins are today more popu- 

 lar among lovers of Tulips than any other class. 



They are noted for their clear, bright colors, their tall, 

 sturdy growth, and their large, beautifully formed, cup' 

 shaped flowers. Although brilliant, their colors are not 

 harsh and, consequently, the different varieties harmon 

 ize well when planted together or with other flowers. In 

 season they follow two to three weeks after the Earl> 

 Tulips, and their blooming period overlaps that of the 

 Late or Cottage Tulips. The colors range from the palest 

 lilac through slate-blue, purple and maroon to almost 

 black, and from blush-white through rose-pink and scar- 

 let to crimson. 



Some varieties of Darwin Tulips are suitable for 

 forcing, but it is for outdoor beds and borders that they 

 are best adapted, and there they reign supreme. If you 

 have room for only one bed of Tulips, by all means 

 plant Darwins.
