This is one of the most popular classes of late Tulips and contains 
many of the newer and most beautiful varieties. Blooming at the 
same time as the Darwins and Breeders, they are mostly as tall and 
large and present many brilliant and unusual shades, particularly of 
orange and yellow, not found in any other later flowering Tulips. 
They require the same easy culture as Darwins but are not suitable 
for forcing.
