Double Early Tulips 



The double varieties cannot be forced so early or readily as the singles. One of the earliest, Salvator Rosa, may be had by the middle 

 of January, while varieties preceded by a star (*) may be flowered front January to March. The flowers are large and brilliant and are 

 effective in beds or groups. If grown in pots, do not attempt flowering before they are well rooted.

Giant Darwin Tulips 



Originated in France, some twenty-five years ago, and named for the great naturalist, Darwin. They are noted for the unusual clearness 

 of their colors, great substance of their flowers, and the robust growth of the plants. Their chief characteristics are the perfect cup-shape of 

 the flowers and the blue, black, or white coloring at the base of the petals inside of the flower. The colors inside are just as bright as out- 

 side, and they remain beautiful as long as the flower lasts. The colors range from the palest lilac to purplish black, including shades of rose, 

 scarlet, crimson, violet, brown, white, etc., but no yellow. Most vigorous of all Tulips. Flowers of immense size, borne on long, strong stems, 

 attaining a height of 2 to 3 feet. They bloom some three weeks after the early Tulips, and are very suitable for growing in clumps amongst 

 shrubbery, and in hardy plant borders. Unsurpassed for cut-flowers. Can also be grown indoors successfully, if grown cool and not forced 

 into early bloom. We here offer a splendid collection of Darwins.
