GIANT DARWIN TULIPS 
NE of the finest places in the world to grow tulips 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 relative 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 to- 
gether with the best of the Giant 
Breeders as well as the new Hy- 
brid Tulips. They are of the same 
habit of growth, tall and sturdy 
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. 
The numbers in brackets indi- 
cate the relative time of flowering.
