Giant Darwin Tulips 



Originated in France some twenty-five years ago and named 

 after 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 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 all Tulips. Flowers of immense 

 size, borne on long, strong stems, attaining a height of 2 to 3 ft. 

 They bloom some three weeks after the early Tulips, and are very 

 suitable for growing in clumps amongst shrubbery, and in hardy 

 plant borders, llnsurpassed 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.
