^Darwin rJulins 
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 de¬ 
licacy or their richness of color. There are slate blue and 
blue-violets which might almost be called blue, while Du- 
mas’ “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-scarlet must be 
sought among the Cottage Tulips. The Darwins may be 
left undisturbed 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.
