Our latest introduction, the “Ideal” Darwin 
Tulips, are the finest type Darwins raised. They 
are far superior to the ordinary Darwin Tulips. The 
blooms are an outstanding triumph to our hybrid¬ 
ists’ art. A glorious flower combining a more grace¬ 
ful habit with perfect form, superb substance and 
exceptional lasting quality. Perhaps the most re¬ 
markable feature of this gorgeous new strain is the 
earliness of many of the varieties and their adapt¬ 
ability 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 Dar¬ 
win Tulips in America.
