GIANT DARWIN TULIPS, continued 
Al first the cup is incurved, but day by day it becomes broader until the petals 
spread out flat and are as much as 10 inches across. The colors arc simply wonderful 
in variety. 
Special Culture. The directions given for May-flowering Tulips must be followed 
carefully if it is desired to have such grand flowers as Darwins are capable of giving. 
The shade, the abundant watering when flowering, and the added fertilizers are neces- 
sary. I supply exceptionally fine bulbs, but my customers must cooperate by giving 
the care. 
NAMED DARWIN TULIPS 
Such has been the demand for Darwin Tulips throughout the world for the last 
few years that all Dutch dealers have increased their prices for the bulbs, necessitating 
a corresponding increase by retailers, in the set of Darwin Tulips that! offer, every 
one is tall, with large flowers of fine shape, and superb coloring. The most expensive va- 
rieties to be found in other catalogues are no finer. I have a very large collection of other 
varieties; but the ordinary planter would not care for a larger number than herein offered. 
In soft pink, Calliope at 60 cts. per doz., and Clara Butt, the best rose-pink known, at 
75 cts. per doz. In a light blush-pink, Gretchen, also known as Margaret, at 60 cts. per doz.

rosy orange, are 60 cts. per doz.

Superb Collections of Fine Named 
Darwin Tulips 
My grower in Holland puis up very line collections 
of Named Darwin Tulips. He gives a wide range of 
colors, very fine varieties, and large bulbs. Belter 
value cannot be given for the money. Bought sep- 
arately, they would cost far more. 10 very fine sorts, 10c. 
each, or 100 bulbs for S3. One of each sort, not named, 
10 bulbs, 35 cts. Five of each variety, or 50 bulbs, §1.75 . 
Valuable Mixture Collections That Are 
Full of Surprises 
In my garden, with ils wonderful collection covering 
all sorts of Tulips and fully three hundred varieties, 
some get into mixtures every year. Among these are 
many of the very finest, some sorts thai arc worth ten 
cents each and more. I will give a general mixture at 
1.50 per 100. This will be full of surprises. 
DARWIN MIXTURES. Even greater value, for in a 
iiindred bulbs ihere may be twenty sorts. They are 
surely fine, and at 82.25 per 100 are very cheap.
