DARWINS 
Darwin Tulips gained great popularity when they were 
first introduced, because of their tall strong stems, attractive 
colors and perfect cup-shaped blossoms. They follow the 
Single Earlies in blooming time and, in common with other 
Tulips, are at their best when massed in beds. They average 
20-30 inches tall, depending on climate, weather and 
locality. 

COTTAGE 
Also called May-Flowering, these are a trifle later than 
Darwins and have slightly less sturdy but tall stems. The 
color range is narrow, as they ate mostly whites and 
yellows. 
TRIUMPH 
Triumph Tulips resulted from crossing Single Earlies 
with Darwins, and they deserve even greater popularity 
than they have received. They are medium tall, with 
strong stems and attractive colors and combinations of 
colors. 
BREEDER 
These bloom a trifle later than Darwins, also have tall 
stems, but they come in a totally different range of colors 
which includes buffs, bronzes, purple-bronze, gold, terra 
cotta, etc., frequently blended. The “Indian” group we list 
are new types of Breeders which should appeal to the more 
advanced and particular lover of Tulips.
