Giant Darwin Tulips 
The Twelve Finest Darwins in Cultivation. 
The late flowering Darwin Tulip has outclassed all its predecessors in type, style, and beauty, and is at the 
present time the Queen of the Tulip family. It attains a height of two to three feet, with strong heavy foliage 
erect and robust stems, terminating in large and massive flowers. The colors range from palest lilac to purplish 
black, including shades of rose, scarlet, crimson-violet, brown and white; most of the flowers showing a par¬ 
ticular satiny effect. They bloom with the Columbines, three or four weeks after the Single Early Tulips. Clumps 
of them along the edge of shrubbery and in the hardy plant borders are very effective. They are especially beauti¬ 
ful when cut for vases. The Darwins grow tall, bloom for a long time, and last well as cut-flowers. If planted 
six to eight inches deep and left undisturbed, will flower for many seasons.

Crocus, Sprin^-FJowering* 
“The Heralds of Spring” 
Crocuses, among the first flowers to bloom in the early Spring, are always the admiration of everyone, espec¬ 
ially when planted amid the grass in lawns, their bright flowers producing a fine contrast. They may also be 
planted among other Spring-flowering bulbs, such as Tulips, Hyacinths and Narcisssi, making a splendid show 
before the other varieties begin to bloom. The results obtained from planting Corcuses in pots or pans for house 
blooming are very satisfactory. For this purpose it is advisbale to use the best. To grow Crocuses in pots f 
place the bulbs about one-half inch apart and one-half inch deep, keeping them in a cool place until thoroughly 
rooted, when they may be brought to the light for blooming. In the open, bulbs should be set at least 3 inches 
deep. 
Choice Mixture of Crocus 
The following mixture is well adapted for bedding, naturalizing or planting in conspicuous places in lawns. 
The colors include a complete selection of all the shades and markings, as well as the self colors, beautiful pure 
whites, white varieties delicately tinted, pale yellows and golden yellows, all shades of blue and purple, together 
with striped and variegated varieties. $0.25 per dozen, $1.75 per 100, $14.00 per 1,000. 250 at 1,000 rates.
