Tall Giant Darwin Tulips 
The chief characteristics of Darwin Tulips are the attractively 
shaped flowers, fleshy petals, tall stems, and lovely colors— 
scarlet, crimson, rose, pink, violet, purple, slaty blue, blue-violet, 
lavender, white, golden yellow, etc. They are wonderful for 
planting in masses in beds, borders or in groups of twelve or 
more here and there among the hardy perennials, and what 
could be lovelier for cutting? We offer a choice selection. 
If the widest assortment of colors is desired in late tulips, the 
Giant Darwin, Ideal Darwin, Lily Flowered, Breeder and Cot- 
tage varieties should be included in your plantings, aseach class - 
has its own range of colors, and all usually bloom during May. 
The height given for each variety is average and some variation 
is natural in different localities and seasons.
