LATE SINGLE-FLOWERING TULIPS 



Known as Cottage or May-Flowering Tulips 



This class, as well as the Darwin Tulips, is becoming very popular. They are very hardy and robust, flowers are large in size and very 

 rich in coloring. The stems are long and wiry and the flowers are durable in a cut state. They are effective planted in clumps or borders, 

 and may be grown in pots as recommended for other Tulips, and brought in to succeed the earlier classes.

GIANT DARWIN TULIPS 



Originated in France some twenty-five years ago and named 

 after the great naturalist, Darwin. They are noted for the un- 

 usual 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 beau- 

 Darwin Tulips tiful as long as the flower lasts. The colors range from the palest
