Cnjoy the Rich Beauty 
of the 
Jocal Darwin Culips 
The Ideal Darwin Tulips originated from a crossing of the common Darwin Tulips with a Wild 
Tulip or Tulip Species made several years ago by Grullemans of Holland. The resultant list of varie- 
ties finally selected from the thousands of seedlings all showed the invigorating effect of new blood. 
They also rewarded the hybridizer with better and clearer colors, as well as larger, longer lasting 
blooms. To facilitate describing these New Hybrids, they have been offered by us from the time of their 
introduction, under the heading of Ideal Darwin Tulips, which is the name they were given in Europe. 
Experts were quick to see their virtue and these new sorts are now being grown in ever increasing quan- 
tities. 
In the pink shades, varieties such as The Peach, Caroline Testout and Adoration are outstanding for 
their lovely tints:as well as ruggedness of blooms. Yellows never before found in Darwin Tulips are now 
obtainable in the Ideal Group. Niphetos, by far the loveliest Tulip grown, is a delightful soft yellow; 
so is Starlight and Helen Gahagan. Among the deeper and darker colors, Humming Bird, Queen of the 
Night, which has completely replaced the old La Tulipe Noir, Margaux, Scotch Lassie and Cote d’ Azur 
are outstanding. While last but not least, Mrs. Grullemans, Glacier, Annie Speelman and Kriemhilde, 
the purest of white Tulips, top the list in that shade. 
Not only do the lively, sparkling colors make them so desirable, but in addition, they provide a much 
longer period of bloom. The flowers are very substantial and last 25 per cent longer than those of the or- 
dinary kinds. If your garden space is limited, choose Ideal Darwin Tulips and use the available room 
to the fullest. For a large garden, select Ideal Darwin Tulips because they are better and last longer. 
Above all, be sure to include some of each of the kinds we have mentioned. We know you'll be delighted 
with the results.
