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 from 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 grpwth of the plants. Their chief characteristics are the per- 

 fect 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 outside, 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 afl 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. Late 

 experiments have proven that some varieties of Darwins lend themselves quite readily to growing indoors and may even be forced
