GIANT DARWIN 
One of the finest places in 
the world to grow tulip bulbs 
is the Puget Sound country, 
where our bulb farm has a 
most favored location. The 
black sandy soil gives good 
water drainage and the rela¬ 
tive elevation gives perfect 
air drainage, two essentials 
for commercial success with 
tulips. These coupled with 
favorable climatic conditions 
and careful culture enable us 
to send you the very highest 
quality of bulbs. 
Only finest top size bulbs 
are used in filling orders. 
Under Giant Darwin Tulips 
we have grouped together 
the very finest of the Giant 
Darwins together with the 
best of the Giant Breeders as 
well as the new Hybrid Tu¬ 
lips. They are of the same 
habit of growth, tall and stur¬ 
dy with large cup-shaped 
flowers, and are May-flowering. These tulips are in greatest demand and are 
the pride and glory of the spring garden. 
Plant in October or November, except in the South where later planting is 
desirable. On heavy soils plant 5 to 6 inches deep and 6 to 7 inches on lighter 
types. Use a liberal amount of bone meal and see to it your beds have good 
drainage. 
Your special attention is called to the fine new tulips found in the list of Giant 
Darwins. The varieties Alberio. Cherbourg, Dillenburg, Eclipse, Elizabeth Evers, 
Johanna, Kathleen Parlow, King Mauve, Mr. Van Zijl, Princess Mary, The Bishop,
