GIANT DARWIN TULIPS 



Without question, the Darwins are today more popular among lovers of Tulips than any other class. 



They are noted for their clear, bright colors, their tall, sturdy growth, and their large, beautifully formed, cup-shaped 

 flowers. Although brilliant, their colors are not harsh and, consequently, the different varieties harmonize well when 

 planted together or with other flowers. 



In season they follow two to three weeks after the Early Tulips, and their blooming period overlaps that of the Late or 

 Cottage Tulips. The colors range from the palest lilac through slate-blue, purple and maroon to almost black, and from 

 blush-white through rose-pink and scarlet to crimson. 



Some varieties of Darwin Tulips are suitable for forcing, but it is for outdoor beds and borders that they are best 

 adapted, and there they reign supreme. If you have room for only one bed of Tulips, by all means plant Darwins.
