GIANT DARWIN TULIPS 
The most useful Tulips for garden decoration and cutting are found in the Darwin class. The 
grace and beauty of the bright-colored flowers, carried on tall, straight stems, is unsurpassed 
by any other spring flowers. Groups of Darwins planted in borders, in front of or between 
shrubs, make a most beautiful effect. Many varieties can be forced in the greenhouse, some 
of them quite early. Either grown in pans, or as cut-flowers, they give great satisfaction.
