IDEAL DARWIN TULIP MIXTURE 
This mixture contains a marvelous selection of new Ideal Dar¬ 
wins. It stands to reason that it is impossible to introduce all the 
new creations that are being produced by the originator. There¬ 
fore, many magnificent seedlings must be destroyed in order not 
to bring out too great a selection of varieties, many of which are 
often much alike. It is those unnamed but truly choice seedlings, 
as well as many of the named varieties that compose the selections 
we are offering here.
