Beds of Our Giant Darwin Tulips

Lovely Pastel Shades in a Full Range of Colors 
Darwin Tulips are distinguished by their lovely soft pastel 
shades, in a full range of colors, and large, cup-shaped flowers 
of heavy substance, held erect on tall, strong stems. The 
height varies from 24 to 30 inches or more, according to va¬ 
riety, undoubtedly the most popular of May-flowering Tulips. 
Darwin Tulips are adaptable for any garden purpose— 
planted in clumps of 10, 25, or 50 of separate varieties in the 
flower border, in front of and between shrubs, in beds of 
solid colors or combinations in the flower garden, and for 
cutting. 
Generally speaking, the bulbs should he planted about 6 
inches deep and the same distance apart. Sprinkle bone meal 
over the ground before planting, do not use any chemical 
fertilizer or fresh manure. Do not plant continuously in the 
same soil year after year, this will lead to failure—Tulips 
prefer fresh soil. 
After the ground is frozen, a mulch or cover of peat moss 
or other material to a depth of one-half inch may be applied 
(although not essential). A heavier cover would encourage 
field mice. Plant bulbs during October and November; the 
flowering period is during May.
