Marshall's Matchless 
DARWIN TULIPS 
(MAY-FLOWERING) 
T HE Darwin Tulips, while among the last of the race to bloom, are easily first 
in the affections and esteem of flower lovers. Gorgeous in color, easy to 
grow, splendid as a cut flower, superb in mass plantings in shrubbery, they 
may be easily forced if brought into the conservatory or greenhouse not earlier 
than January. 
The heights of the flowers are given in inches. Varieties marked with an 
asterisk (*) are good for forcing. 
Not less than 6 bulbs sold at dozen rates, 25 bulbs at 100 rate.

DARWIN TULIPS in MIXTURE 
Mixed Darwin Tulips are unsurpassed for group planting, 
massing and for naturalizing. When so planted they form 
brilliant patches of color silhouetted against the rich verdure 
of the early summer season. The shades of colors included 
in our mixtures are judiciously blended so as to create de¬ 
lightfully artistic ensembles.
