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

 the (lowers and the blue, black, or white coloring at the base o I the 

 petals inside of the llower. 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 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. Unsur- 

 passed 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.
