Ideal Darwin 
Collection 
Ten moderately 
priced varieties 
which received the 
greatest number 
of votes 
In our test garden are planted 
each year several hundred va- 
rieties. of new Tulips. In one 
particular location in this garden 
we showed for three consecu' 
tive years a group of Ideal Dar' 
win Tulips of which a goodly 
number of bulbs are now avail' 
able and therefore, moderately 
priced. We asked the hundreds 
of visitors to these yearly ex' 
hibits to select 15 varieties they 
liked best in this group. From 
their selection we have taken the 
10 best varieties for this collec' 
tion. 
We took only 10 because we 
wanted this collection to be 
complete in color range, the 
stems all of the same height and, 
of course, they should bloom all 
at the same time. It is a beaU' 
tiful collection of well matched 
colors. The two red varieties are 
subdued, the red blending splen- 
didly with the white, pale yeb 
low and lavender tones.

Un-naraed Tulips 
for Cutting 
A selection of 
varieties with 
long stems 
illustrated on page 17 
So that you may be able to 
have plenty of Tulip flowers to 
cut from your own. garden, we 
have arranged with our grower 
in Holland a selection of large' 
flowering Tulips with long stems 
suitable for cutting. Instead of 
going to the extra expense of 
keeping the varieties separate, 
we have instructed him not to do 
so. Great care will be taken to 
see to it that each package con' 
tains the greatest variety possible 
in harmonious colors. There will 
be Darwin Tulips, Cottage Tu' 
lips. Breeder Tulips, and Lily' 
Flowered Tulips in the mixture. 
All will be long-stemmed varic' 
ties excellently suited for cutting, 
anyone who simply wants a few 
Tulips for a bright spot in the 
garden could not possibly do as 
well anywhere at any price. Sold 
in quantities of not less than 50 
bulbs in original package.
