Hints on Forcing Darwins 
Darwins may be forced for Winter bloom if brought to the heat not earlier 
than the end of January. They will bloom about the first of March. Most 
varieties, but especially the violet-colored sorts, have their colors softened down 
in forcing. They should be forced slowly in a moderate temperature. The bulbs 
require more room than those of Single Early Tulips and deep pans or pots 
should be used. The varieties suitable for forcing are marked with an asterisk.* 
The varieties most commonly seen in florists’ shop windows in the Winter are 
Bartigon and Wm. Pitt (red), Princess Elizabeth and Le Notre (pinks), Wm. 
Copeland (mauve).
