DARWI N TU LI PS “——_? May-Flowering 
AMERICAN AND ENGLISH 
GROWN BULBS 
THE most popular of the May-Flowering Tulips. Flowers are 
mostly bowl-shaped, somewhat flaring at the top, with leathery 
petals of good substance and long-lasting qualities. Their color- 
range is practically unlimited, although somewhat deficient in white 
and yellow. Carefully selected varieties will provide a long succes- 
sion of bloom, and they unquestionably form the basis for schemes 
in the garden, supplemented by Cottage and Breeder varieties. 
They average in height from 2 to 2’ feet and the stems are 
usually strong and straight. Fine for any use to which Tulips may 
be put. Ideal for large beds or borders, or planted in clumps among 
shrubs and perennials. Also the best type for forcing in the green- 
house or conservatory.
