IDEAL DARWIN TULIPS. 
We are introducing this new group of tulips, a result of intercrossing Darwin with Breeder and 
other long stemmed tulips, because of their beautiful colors, lovely forms and great lasting qualities. They 
may be considered as forerunners to the other Darwins, because they flower a couple of days earlier, 
and are in full bloom when the other Darwins begin to flower. 
They combine all the excellent qualities of the other Darwins, adding to them larger flowers, excellent 
lasting quality, newer colors and clearer tones. 
They add a new interest to the group of Mayflowering tulips and we recommend planting them in liberal 
groups in the border to enhance the pleasure tulip time gives you.
