Giant Darwin 
Tulips 
(May-Flowering) 
The Tulip 
of Milady’s Garden 
When Milady on a brilliant May morning surveys 
her garden border planted in clumps of Darwin and 
Cottage Tulips, the blooms as large as the giant Cattleya 
orchids, the petals as thick and as massive as the water- 
lily, glittering and glistening in the sunlight, she will he 
tempted to say that these Tulips are indeed the Queens 
of the spring garden. Whether you delight in having 
flowers with 2- to 3-foot stems for cutting, masses of 
color against the background of shrubs, planted in 
clumps of ten or twenty-five each in the herbaceous 
border, or in various-shaped beds on the lawn, few 
other Tulips will provide such a wonderful display.
