A Striking Bed of Darivin Tulips 
DARWIN TULIPS 
This class of tulips has become extremely pop¬ 
ular and justly so. They are useful and beautiful 
in so many ways—planting in formal beds, in 
clumps, in the perennial border, and in front of 
shrubbery. For cutting they provide an array of 
the most beautiful coloring imaginable. These 
colors include all shades of pink and red to almost 
black maroon, lavender and violet to the very 
darkest purple. For the bright yellow and orange 
scarlet we must use the Cottage Tulips. The 
bronze and buff tones are found in the Breeders. 
The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 indicate relative time 
of flowering, those numbered 1 being the earliest.
