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 shape of their flower and the predominant color 
range of from the softest pink to the deepest red and violet.
