Giant Ideal Darwin Tulips 
Ideal Darwins are an improved type of the wonderful Darwin, with flowers, in many instances, 25 to 
50% larger, stronger stems and clearer colors. They begin to flower several days before the regular Darwins 
and usually last for a longer time. They are truly magnificent, and we can highly recommend them to you. 
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 Fordhook 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.
