Giant Darwin Tulips 
This class of Tulips is extremely popular. The plants are of strong, tall growth and 
the flowers are large, well formed, and come in many bright colors. They are 
splendid for planting in formal beds, but their boldness, stately habit, and rich colors 
make them also ideal for planting in clumps of 6 to 12 bulbs in the perennial border 
or in the foreground of shrubbery. They are suited for small gardens as well 
as for large ones. Do not plant too early, as the bulbs root very quickly. 
October and November is not too late. Plant about 6 inches deep 
and the same distance apart.
