Lapark. Giant Darwlsi Tulips 
The Grandly Kea«tIS«8 May-Flowering TtaJsps. 
That have no equal for the hardy border, massed in clumps along the edge of shrubbery, or as 
cut-flowers in vases in late Spring, 
More attention has been paid of late years in Holland to the development of the Darwins than 
to any other class of Tulips, and the results are actually phenominal. They are at their best out¬ 
doors, producing in May great, enormous flowers, perfectly formed of thick, heavy petals resemb¬ 
ling Water Lilies in substance and surface, on strong, upright stalks, two so .three feet in height, 
overlapping the foliage in a billow of vivid bloom. In the house they should be Dlanted as soon 
as you receive the Bulbs, in pans deeper than generally used for Tulips.

The Darwins are all late, or May-flowering. For the information of those who plan their 
beds we endeavor to group the first to flower as F; the next to come on as G, and the latest to 
bloom as H. We also try to give an idea of the height.
