distinct shapes and the softness of their pale colors. It is this very 
softness of color which, at first sight, fastens the spell of the Darwins 
upon the lover of garden beauty. The colors have the quality of 
true pastel shades, and all the varieties (with the possible exception 
of the scarlet-red tones) combine in the border so harmoniously 
that the danger of a jarring note in the most haphazard planting is 
quite negligible. 
Detailed planting directions will be included with the shipment of the 
bulbs. The figure following the name indicates the relative time of 
floveering.
