The New Ideal Darwin Tulips 
Our latest introduction, the “Ideal” Darwin Tulips, are the finest 
type Darwins raised. They are far superior to the ordinary Dar¬ 
win Tulips. The blooms are an outstanding triumph to our hybrid¬ 
ists’ art. A glorious flower combining a more graceful habit with 
perfect form, superb substance and exceptional lasting quality. 
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this gorgeous new strain 
is the earliness of many of the varieties and their adaptability for 
early forcing. Ideal Darwin Tulips flower a week earlier and are 
still in perfect condition when the common Darwin Tulips are 
through flowering in the garden. 
It is with a great deal of pride that we inform you that we have 
been selected from among the many importers to introduce these 
magnificent new Darwin Tulips in America.
