GIANT DARWIN TULIPS 



Originated in France some tw;enty-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- 

 tiful 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
