LA FRANCE 
DARWIN 
TULIPS 
A vigorous race of self-colored Tulips distinguished by 
their strong stems that carry the blooms well above the 
foliage, thus adding to their beauty in the garden and in- 
creasing their value for cutting and indoor decoration. 
They flower simultaneously with the Breeder and Cottage 
Tulips during the month of May. We offer below the new 
varieties which show improvement in color, height, or in 
some important respect, over the old varieties. But at 
the same time we retain the best of the old and tried 
varieties, many of which remain the best in their class.
