GIANT FLOWERING TULIPS 
F lower in Late M ay 
nPHE Giant Flowering Tulips are the Darwin, including the so-called Ideal 
^ Darwin Tulips, the Breeder and the Hybrid groups. As the result of a 
decade of cross breeding, the groups are now so nearly alike that the most ex¬ 
pert professional cannot now designate the group to which a given variety be¬ 
longs. Since the only things which interest you are the colors of the flowers 
and the combining of colors in your garden, the maintaining of purely arti¬ 
ficial classifications makes for confusion. Whether one designates it as a 
Breeder, a Darwin, a so-called Ideal Darwin, or a Hybrid Tulip, it is never¬ 
theless a Giant Flowering Tulip.
