DARWINS 
Darwin Tulips gained great popularity when they were 
first introduced, because of their tall strong stems, attractive 
colors and perfectly 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 sturdy, tall stems. The color range is 
narrow, as they are mostly whites and yellows. 
LILY FLOWERING 
This group is a subdivision of Cottage Tulips. The 
flowers have good stems, with petals frequently retroflexed 
or somewhat resembling a lily in appearance. 
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 very 
strong stems and attractive colors and combinations of 
colors. Excellent for forcing. 
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. 
INDIAN 
As mentioned above, these are actually Breeders, but are 
considered sufficiently distinctive to warrant special mention. 
Those of your customers who really like tulips will welcome 
these new colors.
