All Single and May-flowering. 
The lar^e breadths of these grand Darwin Tulips at our Nurseries {see illustration on buck cover) 
present in May a gorgeous sight and attract a great many visitors. At the Kinemacolor Theatre, 
London, a series of charming pictures of our Tulip Fields at Taplow, iu natural colours, has recently 
been ehown on the screen daily. At the Temple Gardens Show, May 1911, onr exhibit of Darwin 
Tulips was awarded the National Tulip Society’s Gold Medal, while our exhibit at the Great 
International Exhibition last May was given a Large Silver Cup. 
For flower beds and borders we confidently recommend the following varieties for their stately bearing 
and rich colours. They have been specially selected as being distinct, showy, and beautiful, so that buyers 
need have no hesitation in choosing the colours they require, as all are good. The cut flowers form an 
elegant decoration for vases, and last a long time in water. T he lighter lilac and heliotrope-coloured 
varieties blend charmingly with yellow “ Cottage” Tulips such as Mrs, Moon^ Vitellina^ Cesnertana lutea^ 
lulea pallida, /lava, and Golden Spire, etc. 
On heavy soil the bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches deep, and on light soils 6 to 7 inches. 
By gentle forcing in pots these grand Tulips may he had in bloom by the middle of March, and will 
he found of great value for indoor decoration on account of their lovely soft colours and tall stately 
bearing. The centres of many are most beautifully marked. 
In most cases we give the heights as registered at our Nurseries, also the order of flowering in relation 
to the flowering period of the Cottage Tulips, (i) being the first to open and (5) the latest.
