Darwin Culips 
The Newest and Best Standard 
Blue Perfection Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.30, 100 $11.75 
Pale lavender, with white base, starred blue; beautiful flower of distinct 
shape. Height 25 inches. (Color illustration, page 41.) 
Blue Eagle (Black Eagle) Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.30, 100 $11.75 
The form and habit of this variety are perfect. A Tulip of no mean 
qualities and of rare beauty. For three years in our trial garden it has 
been greatly admired. The cup-shaped flower is of great size and of the 
richest and most brilliant intense deep purple which shines when the 
sun strikes it. The anthers are pitch-black and the base of deepest 
blue. A glorious Tulip on a 29-inch stem. Plant it together with Ideal 
Darwin Glacier, for stunning effect. 
Breitner (New) Six $1.75, Doz. $3.25, 25 $5.75, 100 $22.00 
Center of outside petals black-red, outside margin dark scarlet-red, 
inside fiery scarlet, base black with narrow white margin. This variety 
produces a most striking effect; in fact, there is no other Tulip like it 
grown. Rather late flowering. For a deep, dark red effect it cannot be 
improved upon. The stem is rigid, the flower long lasting. It is one of 
the finest new varieties. Height 25 inches. 
Charles Needham Six $1.20, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.35, 100 $12.00 
For simple, unadulterated emphasis, this blood-red Darwin has no supe- 
rior. It is a color so dominent that it is best used in combination with 
pure white or pure yellow. A superb variety for contrast planting. 
Flowers of excellent size on stiff, straight stems. Height 28 inches. 
Crimson Giant (New) Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $13.50 
This magnificent new deep crimson-red Tulip will in time replace all 
other kinds of similar color. It produces an immense flower of deep 
crimson-red. Many of our friends who have seen it agree with us that 
it is better, bigger and stronger, and darker and better in color than 
City of Haarlem. Crimson Giant is particularly fine if flowering next 
to a pure white Tulip such as Glacier. Here is a magnificent new dark 
red Tulip which we recommend without any reservations. 
City of Haarlem Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.30, 100 $11.75 
A reliable, handsome Darwin of great substance and of a fiery cardinal- 
red. The dark violet base of this Tulip, outlined in white, gives it a 
striking effect when open. It is admirably at home among all the lighter 
colored spring flowers, such as the hardy Alyssum citrinum. Height 31 
inches. (Color illustration, page 38.) 
Clara Butt. Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.30, 100 $11.75 
Lovely old time pure pink Tulip that should be in quantity in every 
garden. In some lights illusive soft salmon suffusions in this fine flower 
add to the interest of the beautiful blossom. Height 30 inches. 
Deborah (New) Six $2.25, Doz. $4.10, 25 $7.50, 100 $25.00 
Soft Clara-Butt-pink with soft shading broad pale pink margin. Inside 
vivid Clara-Butt-pink with blue center. A very unusual and very beautiful 
long, big, oval flower of tremendous substance on wiry stem. It is the 
most distinct pink Darwin today. We may also say one of the loveliest 
of all Tulips, which, when generally available, will be planted by the 
hundreds of thousands. Height 27 inches. 
Eclipse. Six $1.10, Doz. $1.80, 25 $3.25, 100 $11.50 
Dark, rich red Darwins are not too plentiful, and here is one of beautiful 
form, splendid firmness of petal and stem, which would be capital if used 
with Queen of the Night or Glacier. Known to many of us_as a most 
valuable flower for the spring enrichment of the border. Eclipse is a 
glowing, dark blood-red flower with a lustrous surface and violet, white- 
margined center. So substantial is its quality that it lasts well through 
the Tulip season. Makes an indescribably brilliant display with white 
Tulips. Height 30 inches. 
Golden Age. Six $1.00, Doz. $1.65, 25 $2.95, 100 $10.75 
This is a much improved Yellow Giant, which we do not any longer rec- 
ommend; a perfect golden yellow bloom on a tall, stiff stem, very bril- 
liant and showy. Height 29 inches. 
better than Yellow Giant.
