Giant Darwin Tulips, May-flowering 
For the herbaceous border, massed in clumps, along the edge of shrubbery, or 
as cut-flowers for vases, these are conceded to be the superior of all the Tulips 
_ The most useful Tulips for garden decoration and cutting are found 
mm the Darwin class. These Tulips are characterized by clear, fresh colors, 
usually free from mottlings, overlays, or feathered edges, and include all 
shades known in Tulips except brown and buff. The rare pure yellow is 
now available in recently introduced Darwin varieties. Their flowers are 
deep, bowl-shaped, borne on stiff stems 2 to 3 feet high, depending on 
variety and cultivation, and make the garden gay for several weeks in 
May, extending into June in the northerly districts.

CULTURE.— Bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches deep and not less 
than 5 inches apart. Sand to the depth of 1% inch at the base of the bulbs 
will amply repay the trouble by the provision for drainage during wet 
weather. For forcing, bulbs should be planted as soon as received, and 
the flowers appear to better advantage if pots a trifle deeper than the 
ordinary bulb-pans are used. We recommend what are termed azalea- 
pots for this purpose. A temperature of 55 to 60 degrees is recommended, 
for if allowed to ‘‘come gently,”’ larger flowers and Jonger stems may be had.
