ANY years ago, when this classification was determined 
upon, there undoubtedly were certain characteristics which 
were common to, or exclusive with, Darwin Tulips. Now changes 
have taken place. Countless crosses have been made. The blood 
of other groups has been introduced, and there is almost no feature 
left which is peculiar to this group alone. We can, therefore, no 
longer explain just why a “Darwin” ts a “Darwin.” 
The color-range its from white through blush, pink, salmon, rose, 
shades of red, maroon, purple to black, as well as yellow, and the 
loveliest shades of lavender and Iilac. They grow from 2 to 3 
feet in height and bloom in late May.

and evergreens or planted in beds and perennial borders. Plant
