DARWIN TULIPS 
The most popular Tulips flowering at the loveliest time of the year — May — when every 
garden looks at its best. Gigantic flowers on tali stems are their main characteristics, whereas 
their range of colour is almost infinite. No garden is complete without them, in fact one 
cannot imagine a modern garden in which a patch of these handsome flowers does not exist. 
They are unequalled for cutting and last a long time in water. Only certain of the Darwin 
varieties possess forcing qualities and experience in this matter is essential. If you have had 
no experience we wo did advise you to use Single Early Tulips. Cultivation : Flowering 
time middle of April to end of May; height 20 — 28 inches. See further foot of page 14.
