Digging up your Tulips directly after the flowers have 
passed ,if done very carefully, using a fork, so that the root 
system is damaged as little as possible and then heel them in 
at once, plant and all, in the cutting garden, allowing the bulbs 
to ripen, can be done without too much injury to the bulbs. 
Of course, there again you cannot expect anywhere near as 
many Tulips that can be used for another year and they will 
also be considerably smaller. 
Darwin Tulips 
Almost a century ago this sturdiest and most colorful race 
of all Tulips was introduced, without any data on its origin. 
Twenty-five years of careful selecting of self colors, grad- 
ually perfected this strain; the originator named them in honor 
of Charles Darwin, father of the theory of evolution. 
The Darwin Tulips distinguish themselves through the 
typical cup shade of their flower and the predominant color 
range of from the softest pink to the deepest red and violet.
