Giant Ideal Darwin Tulips 
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.
