d Id eal Darwin Tulips 
The New Giant Ideal Darwin Tulips offered on this and the opposite page have been selected from a long list, 
after several years of testing on our Fordhook Farms, as the most outstanding and best of the group in a certain 
price range. There are many other lovely varieties, but on account of a limited quantity of bulbs being available, 
the prices are necessarily high. Just as soon as stocks become more plentiful and prices come down, we will 
add more varieties to our list. Any variety offered by us has been proved on our trial grounds and we can highly 
recommend each and every one. Be sure to try some. They are sure to please you.
