GIANT FLOWERING DARWIN TULIPS 
During the war years, the Holland growers, in spite of tremendous difficulties, managed to increase their stocks 
of Novelty Tulips. This year we have revised our list to include the introductions displayed at the show in Lisse, 
Holland. Several of these varieties received THE AWARD OF MERIT of the DUTCH BULB GROWERS 
ASSOCIATION. We can recommend them without reservation. 
The Darwin Tulip is of the later-flowering class. For beds and borders we recommend the following varie- 
ties for their stately bearing and rich colors. These Tulips grow from 24 to 34 inches high, the flowers are borne 
on strong stems and are of the finest shades known among flowers. 
Great care has been exercised to select only the best varieties 
in each color class. However, we are in a position, through 
our growers in Holland, to supply any variety requested if 
ordered before August 15th. Varieties prefaced by an F are 
most suitable for forcing; varieties prefaced by an F and O are 
equally suitable for indoor or outdoor culture; varieties prefaced 
by an O are for outdoor culture only. These varieties are of 
exceptional merit and bear highest recommendation.
