GIANT DARWIN TULIPS, May-Flowering 
For the herbaceous border, massed in clumps, along the edge of shrubbery, or 
as cut-flowers for vases, these are conceded to be the superior of all the Tulips 
The most useful Tulips for garden decoration and cutting are found in the Darwin class. These Tulips are characterized by clear, fresh 
colors, usually free from mottlings, overlays, or feathered edges, and include all shades known in Tulips except brown and buff. The rare 
pure yellow is now available in recently introduced Darwin varieties. Their flowers are deep, bowl-shaped, borne on stiff stems 2 to 3 feet 
high, depending on variety and cultivation, and make the garden gay for several weeks in May, extending into June in the northerly 
districts. 
A few fine new “Ideal Tulips,’’ produced by crossing the Darwins and Single Earlies, have been included in this section. They bloom 
earlier than the true Darwins but are otherwise very much like them. This is the most popular class of Tulips, and varieties selected from 
this list are sure to please everyone by their beauty, evenness, and certain flowering. Many of the finest exhibition varieties in our list 
can now be purchased at much lower prices than last year. We urge a trial of these new and rare kinds. 
CULTURE.—Bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches deep and not less than 5 inches apart. Sand to the depth of V^inch at the base 
of the bulbs will amply repay the trouble by the provision for drainage during wet weather. For forcing, bulbs should be planted as soon 
as received, and the flowers appear to better advantage if pots a trifle deeper than the ordinary bulb-pans are used. We recommend what 
are termed azalea-pots for this purpose. A temperature of 55 to 60 degrees is recommended, for if allowed to “come gently,’’ larger flowers 
and longer stems may be had.
