16 .. W.ATLEE BURPEE CO., Bulb Growers 
Giant Ideal Darwins are superior to many of the older Darwins, the 
flowers, in most instances, being larger and of better substance, the 
stems taller and stronger. They usually begin to bloom several days 
before the regular Darwins and often last for a 
longer time. The big flowers are truly magnificent, 
and we can highly recommend them to you for 
garden decoration and cutting. Many are valuable 
for growing in pots or bulb-pans. 
The Giant Ideal Darwin Tulips offered on this 
and the next page have been selected from a long 
list as the most outstanding and best of the group. 
Every variety has been proved on our Fordhook 
Farms trial ground and we have no hesitancy in 
commending them to you. We are sure that when 
you grow them, you will quickly recognize their 
superior qualities and will want to add to your 
plantings each succeeding year.
