Darwin Tulips 
MAYFAIR GARDENS 
New crosses between the best of the newer Darwins have re¬ 
sulted in the attempt to popularize strains of Darwins by tagging 
them as "Super-Giant,” "Ideal” or "Improved” Darwin Tulips. 
Yet a Darwin Tulip is only a Darwin Tulip, and though the fol¬ 
lowing list includes many of these new kinds, it seems wise not 
to complicate classification further by setting up any additional 
sections of this recognized race. 
Detailed planting instructions will be included with the ship¬ 
ment of bulbs. 
The figure follotving the name indicates the relative 
time of flowering.
