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 
AFTERGLOW. Deep, rosy orange, with salmon shading at edges 
of petals; inside deep orange with yellowish base. A sport of 
Baronne de la Tonnaye, which is of remarkable interest because 
it is the first instance of a Darwin sporting to the Breeder tones. 
A showy Tulip for outdoors. Height 26 inches. 
60 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100 
ANTON MAUVE. A splendid exhibition variety on account of its

Darwin Tulips in bloom with Wisteria 
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 3djinch 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. 
APHRODITE. Clear, silvery rose-pink with white base; a good-
