Darwin Tulips are very suitable for growing under so called “cold 
glass”. The bulbs are planted in beds in the open field, and the frames 
are built over the beds later. The flowers can be cut according to 
necessity, and have the appearance of greenhouse grown stock. It 
seems to us that this reasonable way of growing Darwin Tulips 
should be more generally employed.

Quality considered, our bulbs cost less than the average. We have 
many customers on our books who have given us their Tulip orders, 
AT OPEN PRICES, for fifteen years in succession, without any question 
or complaint during all that time. You can depend entirely upon our 
PAINSTAKING SERVICE and fairness.

All JANuARY forcing of Tulips must be done in semi-darkness at 70° 
F. for 7 to 10 days, dropping 65° F. when buds are well up. Makes 
for sturdy plants and good color. Absolutely no sunlight at any time. 
It ts astounding how many florists forget about the sun’s interference 
in greenhouse forcing.
