Darwin Tulips 
(May-flowering) 
We confidently recommend this late-flowering section of self coloured Tulips, with theirstately bearing 
and rich colours. They deserve universal attention and are wonderfully valuable for bedding, borders etc. 
on account of their brilliant colours and their long upright stems. The Darwins flower after the Triumph 
Tulips and are excellent for cutting, just at the time when the spring flowers are over and there is 
scarcity of flowers in the open ground, As cut-flowers they are beautiful for decoration in vases and last 
a long time in water. 
Origin: A collection of Tulips imported from the North of France by Messrs. Krelage & Son at 
Haarlem. The actual origin is not known, but they were offered and brought into circulation in 1889, 
when they caused a real sensation, because of their long stems and fine colours. 
For Forcing: Some varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are suitable for late forcing. They should 
never be forced in too high a temperature and should be watered moderately. Darwin Tulips cannot 
be had in flower much before February, with the exception of the varieties Wm. Copland, and Rose 
Copland, which may be brought into the greenhouse after December 25th.
