Giant Ideal Darwin Tulips 
Ideal Darwins are an improved type of the wonderful Darwin, with flowers, in many instances, 
25 to 30% larger, stronger stems and clearer colors. They begin to flower severai days before the 
reguiar Darwins and usuaily last for a longer time. They are truiy magnificent, and we can highly 
recommend the New Giant Ideal Darwins offered on these two pages. 
Blue Danube —the finest Ideal Darwin Tulip of its color 
The Giant Ideal Darwin Tulips offered on this and the opposite 
page have been selected from a long list as the most outstanding 
and best of the group after several years of testing on our Ford- 
hook Farms. There are many other lovely Ideal Darwins, 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 of them to our 
list. Every 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.
