Darwin Tulips 
SELECTED TOP-SIZED BULBS ONLY 
The Cream of the Standard Varieties and Recent Introductions 
Darwin Tulips are increasing in popularity every season. Colors range from 
white to purplish black, including shades of crimson, violet, brown, rose, etc. 
Very effective for planting in shrubbery or in hardy plant borders. The flowers 
are large, deeply cupped, and are borne on lofty stems which are ideal for cutting 
and vase use. Gorgeous combinations of color can be made by planting them in 
broad masses or long, narrow borders. To avoid striking contrasts, use tones of 
bronze and pale violet with the lavenders— and soft pinks and lavenders, shades 
which merge into each other and do not clash as violently as the usual red and 
yellow. If striking effects are desired, try Bleu Aimable in front of City of Haarlem, 
a vivid, odd, French combination of blue and scarlet; or an even more effective 
combination of some pale yellow, like Moonlight (a Cottage Tulip), with a deep 
red-purple variety, Faust or Zulu. The new pale yellows are also good with dark 
mahogany-red varieties like King Harold. Brilliant reds like Pride of Haarlem and 
Farncombe Sanders are best used alone, or against an evergreen background. 
Dark pinks are good with light pinks and white varieties, like the Cottage Picotee.
