Darwin

Cottage 
Culips 
These are the queenly Aristocrats 
of the Tulip Kingdom. Tall, stately 
and elegant, in a fascinating selection 
of gay and sparkling colors that de- 
light the most discriminating gar- 
deners. 
They are known throughout the 
world for their particularly tall, strong 
stems; their large, well-formed flowers; 
heavy petal substance; rich, brilliant 
colors; long-blooming period, and ma- 
jestic bearing. 
Years ago Darwin and Cottage 
Tulips were two distinct groups with 
very apparent differences in habit, 
structure and appearance. But they 
have been cross-bred to such an extent 
that there is a great intermingling of 
characteristics, and no longer any rea- 
son for keeping them separate. For 
the Convenience of those desiring to 
know which group a variety belongs 
to, we have labeled all “Cottage” 
types in parenthesis directly following 
the height. Those not labeled are all 
“Darwins.”

This is the finest selection of Pure White Darwin 
and Cottage Tulips in America — each one me- 
ticulously chosen to include all variations in size, 
shape, and height. 
ALABASTER. (20 inches high). Pure glistening white, with a small 
but clear yellow center and soft ivory stamens. Particularly chosen 
for its fine goblet shaped flowers on short strong stems. Very for- 
mal and neat. 
3-40c, 6-65c, 12-$1.25, 
25-$2.30, 100-$8.25 
BLANCA. (22 inches high). Also pure glistening white, but with 
larger cup shaped flowers that open wider with broader petals. 
Stems are just a bit taller, very strong and stiff, The pure white 
of the flowers is enhanced by light sulphur yellow anthers. Van 
Tubergen origination. 
3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 
25-$3.20, 100-$12.00 
CARRARA. (29 inches high). (Cottage). An exquisite white of bold 
flashing quality—just as pure as the famous marble from which it 
gets its name. Flowers are round in shape and exquisitely molded; 
borne on strong stems. Withstands considerable wind. Excellent 
garden subject, and fine for forcing. Absolutely the finest white 
Cottage tulip there is. 
3-40c, 6-65c, 12-$1.30, 
25-$2.45, 100-$9.00

WHITE GIANT. (28 inches high). This is the real giant among the 
whites. A bold flashing beauty of purest snow white, with ex- 
ceptionally heavy petals that withstand heavy rains and winds. 
Excellent Darwin form. Straight, stiff and tall stems. One of the 
best white tulips ever created. 
3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 
25-$3.20, 100-$12.00 
ZWANENBURG. (28 inches high). This is the most refined, perfectly 
formed of the white Darwin Tulips, with excellent substance and 
noble bearing. Although not as bold and showy as White Giant, 
it is more of an aristocrat. Has jet black anthers which create 
a striking contrast in the garden. This is a Van Tubergen origi- 
nation that has created a sensation since the first day of its 
introduction. 
12-$1.75, 
3-50c, 6-90c, 25-$3.20 100-$12.00 
BOS 
PINK, DEEP PINK and ROSE 
AFTERGLOW. (26 inches high). Coral rose, shaded salmon with 
amber margins. Very well named, as the unusual blend of colors 
radiate all of the soft but bright glowing qualities of embers in 
a friendly campfire. Excellent for bedding and especially beauti- 
ful. 
3-50c, 6-90c, 12-$1.75, 25-$3.20, 100-$12.00
