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 
in 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.

than 5 inches apart. Sand to the depth of 14 inch at the base of the bulbs 
will amply repay the trouble by the provision for drainage during wet 
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 longer stems may be had. 
Should we cover our Tulips.—Tulips are the easiest of bulbous plants 
to grow. We advise, however, against covering them with any kind of 
mulch. In the first place, the bulbs do not require warmth. Mulches pro- 
vide ideal nesting-places for fteld-mice who seem to like to eat the bulbs.
