10 M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH. DARWIN TULIPS For the Open Ground
Text Appearing After Image:
The flowers of this superb class have well been called "The Tulip Aristocrats." The remarkably brilliant coloring and splendid substance of their large globular or cup shaped flowers, their long strong stems and robust growth of plant, make them unsurpassed for May blooming in the garden. Darwins are not only desirable for outdoor bedding and last a long time after cutting, but they may be forced in pots provided it is done slowly. They range in color from the softest pink through shades of rose and crimson, mauve, violet, purple and maroon; there are, however, no true j^ellows but these may be supplied by the substitution of some of the Cottage Tulips; The varieties we offer have been selected from a very large list after careful trials and we believe they are the most satisfactory obtainable. The quality of the bulbs will be found unsurpassed. Cul- ture: the same as that for Cottage or May flowering Tulips. Afterglow, F 28 in.
