Darwin Tulips 
(May-flowering) 
We confidently recommend this late-flowering section of self coloured Tulips with their stately bearing 
and rich colours. They deserve universal attention and are most valuable in the garden, 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 most spring flowers are over and _ there is 
scarcity of flowers. As cut-flowers they are decorative 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: Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are suitable for late forcing and 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 for gentle forcing about the end of December.
