Afterglow. 
Darwin Tulips 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
The colors include the brilliant scarlets and crimsons, and the 
more somber tones of red. The shades of rose and pink, of violet 
and purple, are unsurpassed for their delicacy or their richness of 
color. There are slate blue and blue-violets which might almost be 
called blue, while Dumas’ “Black Tulip’’ is very nearly realized in 
some of the dark maroon varieties. All the bronze and buff tones 
are Breeders; while bright yellow and orange-=carlet must be 
sought among the Cottage Tulips. The Darwins may be left un¬ 
disturbed for years, and if taken care of, will last many years. 
The varieties offered are the best standard kinds; inferior sorts 
have been omitted. 
The figure following the name indicates the relative time of 
flowering.
