DARWIN TULIPS 
The Darwin Tulips are the best known of the late, long stemmed 
classes of Tulips which are now so popular, other types being the Breed- 
ers and Cottage Tulips. So much crossing of these types has taken place 
that it is sometimes difficult to determine just to whicn class a late Tulip 
belongs. Darwins are characterized by their particularly strong stems, 
globular flowers and petals of heavy substance. These Tulips are mag- 
nificent for large beds and in groups in borders. A number of varieties 
may be used for late forcing and the best for this purpose are: Bartigon, 
City of Haarlem, Frans Hal, Philip Snowden, Princess Elizabeth, Rose 
Copland, William Copland and William Pitt. Figures following names 
denote height in in inches. 
CULTURE. Tulips are easily grown. Plant from October 1st until the 
ground freezes in well-drained soil about 5 inches deep spacing at least 
5 inches apart. They may be lifted as soon as the foliage has dried and 
stored in a dry, cool place until the next planting season arrives. Use a 
well-balanced fertilizer over them after planting.
