DARWIN TULIPS. 
„The Aristocrats of Tulipdom”, 
There is hardly any other article in the bulb-line so useful for various 
purposes as the Darwin Tulips. 
For cutflowers no better tulips can be desired: long strong stems, bright 
beautiful colors, and their value is increased by their wonderful substance and 
lasting qualities. 
Some varieties are excellent for forcing, however, Darwin Tulips cannot be 
forced as early and strongly as early Tulips and cannot stand so much heat. 
For bedding as well, Darwins are unsurpassed; a bed of these tulips is 
always a glorious sight and lends each garden a distinguished aspect, while groups 
of Darwin Tulips planted in borders and between shrubs make a very beautiful 
effect. 
For growing in pots and pans, the varieties Bartigon, City of Haarlem, Herc- 
diade, Princess Elizabeth, Professor Rauwenhoff, Roi d'Islande, Rose Copland, 
Victoire d'Oliveira, William Copland and William Pitt are unexcelled. 
Special method to grow Darwin Tulips. 
Darwin Tulips are also splendidly suitable for growing in cool greenhouses or 
under so called ,,cold glass”. The bulbs can be planted in the open ground in the 
houses or frames, or in beds in the open field, and the frames can be built over 
the beds later. The Tulips are coming into bloom gradually after the earlier forced 
Darwins are gone, and can be cut according to necessity. 
It seems to us that this manner of growing Darwin Tulips is not so generally 
known yet and we recommend our friends to take a trial with this method.
