The Darwin Tulips are the best known of the late, long stemmed 
Tulips now so popular. They are characterized by their particularly 
long stems, globular flowers and petals of heavy substance. These 
Tulips are magnificent for large beds or used informally in groups in 
borders. 
They are delightful interplanted in beds with Bleeding Hearts, 
Lupines, Linums, Alyssum, Iberis, Anchusa, Myosotidiflora and 
Violas. Shrubs in bloom at the same time include Kerria, Azaleas, 
Redbud, Rosa Hugonis, Syringa chinensis and Viburnum tomentosum. 
A number are also useful for late forcing and the best for this 
purpose are: Bartigon, City of Haarlem, Frans Hals, Princess Elizabeth, 
Rose Copeland, William Copeland and William Pitt. 
Culture: Tulips are easily grown. Plant from early October until 
the ground freezes in well-drained soil that is in good tilth. Al- 
though the best average depth to plant is 5 inches and 6 inches 
apart, they may be planted deeper with good results providing the 
drainage is adequate. Under such conditions it is not necessary to 
lift them every year but in case this is felt to be desirable for any 
reason, they may be lifted as soon as the foliage is dry and stored 
in a cool dry place until the next planting season arrives. Use a well- 
balanced organic fertilizer over them after planting.
