Lons stemmed Darwin Tulips 
The very large flowers in the most refined colors and shades are borne by fine and tall stems and there is no 
other flower which can compete with the Darwin in the decorativeness of its effect in beds and borders. Darwin 
Tulips flower during the whole month of May. Their principal features are their very tall, upright stems and the 
enormous flowers. They should be planted 6 inches apart and approximately 3 inches deep. Any garden soil will 
suit them. It is not necessary to cover them during the winter against frost, or to water them. You have only to 
plant them and then leave them undisturbed. They can be used for any garden purpose, it does not matter whether 
you plant them in a border of parallel lines, or whether you plant them in small isolated groups, in a Dutch garden, 
or just as a decoration along your edges, the effect is always picturesque. Furthermore, they are cutflowers of 
extraordinary quality, which last a long time in water. Many varieties can be forced very suecessfullv in a small 
greenhouse, though it is essential to have a certain amount of knowledge of this. The bulbs are fully guaranteed 
to be of prime quality and true to name.
