TULIPS 
Tulip Classes 
After the name of each variety, we have noted the Class to which it 
belongs. This is important as it indicates the flowering date which should 
be considered in selecting varieties and in their arrangement in your 
garden. 
EARLY FLOWERING TULIPS — MAY 1st to 15th 
Both single and double varieties are to be found in this class. The 
colors are bright and attractive. The stems are medium height, 10" to 
18". Very suitable for formal planting, the mass of bright colors creat¬ 
ing a beautiful effect. A few groups will prolong the Tulip season, and 
add bright colors to your garden at a time when it might otherwise be 
unattractive. 
Most varieties are suitable for flowering in pots in the home and can 
be had in flower ahead of the Darwins. 
TRIUMPH TULIPS — MAY 5th to 18th 
This class originated as a result of crossing varieties of the Early- 
Flowering type with various Late-Flowering Tulips. They are intermedi¬ 
ate in flowering between these two classes, which is a desirable feature. 
In addition, the Triumphs embrace the widest range of colors of any class 
of Tulips, and many beautiful color combinations are included. They 
come in both single and double varieties, varying in height, some being 
12 inches while others reach 26 inches. 
LATE FLOWERING TULIPS — MAY 15th to 30th 
Among late flowering Tulips, we list the following classes. 
Darwin Tulips. The varieties of this class are of comparatively recent 
introduction, and are unquestionably at the height of their popularity at 
the present time. Their chief characteristics are the cup-shape of the 
flower, fleshy substantial petals, and long strong stems, averaging from 
24" to 36". The colors cover a wide range and as a rule the flower is of 
one solid color, though some varieties are a combination of two or more 
shades. 
Certain varieties are especially fine for flowering in pots in the home. 
We will be glad to furnish information in regard to these upon request.
