STERN’S PERSONAL SELECTION 
DARWIN TULIPS 
CITY OF HAARLEM. Considered by many 
to be among the best in its class. The 
color is a vibrant, cardinal-red showing 
a dark violet base outlined in red when 
fully opened. 
CLARA BUTT. Lovely old-time clear sal- 
mon-pink. Base white marked and blue. 
Lovely in the garden or as cut flower. 
DUKE OF WELLINGTON. A delightful, 
pure white flower of great beauty and sub- 
stance, having white anthers and a white 
base. The beautifully shaped flowers are 
very large and will hee as long as three 
weeks in the garden or when cut. This 
is, in our estimation, the finest of all the 
white tulips. 
FARNCOMBE SANDERS. Fiery rosy-scar- 
let, inside vivid scarlet, white base mark- 
ed blue. Perfectly shaped flower. 
GOLDEN HARVEST. Immense lemon yel- 
low flower deepening in color toward the 
edges of the petals. Excellent for cutting 
and unsurpassed for garden decoration. 
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT. A really black 
tulip of great beauty! One of the darkest 
tulips ever introduced. The large flower 
is held on a strong, straight stem. The 
unusually dark color lends itself to mag- 
nificent color combinations. 
SCARLET LEADER. Most brilliant glowing 
scarlet flower on tall straight stems. 
SUNKIST. The best yellow Darwin. The 
flowers have great substance and are 
borne on tall, sturdy stems. The extremely 
thick petals enable it to withstand ex- 
treme weather conditions. 
THE BISHOP. Beautiful deep violet-blue 
with a white interior base and black an- 
thers. A stunning tulip which is tall, 
stately, and one of the finest varieties 
cultivated. 
THE PEACH. A glorious peach-colored 
tulip with huge flowers carried on strong, 
stiff stems. A variety of great charm and 
beauty, it blooms very early and is long 
lasting.
