GESNERIANA SCARLET TULIP. New Darwin" Tulips. Late or May-flowerins:. The flowers are very large, of symmet- rical form, and are borne on tall, strong stems, often two feet high. They by far surpass in colors and brilliancy anything before known in Tulips. The colors are so glowing and bright that in the sunlight the effect is fairly dazzling. They include almost every conceivable color and shade, from the daintiest blue to the darkest violet, from soft rose to the most brilliant red, and from light brown to what is believed to be the darkest black in the floral world.

This group of LATE-FLOWERINQ GARDEN TULIPS generally is in full flush of bloom about " Decoration Day." They differ from the Early Single Tulips by their taller growth and later bloom. Planted in conjunction with the Early Tulips —on pages 12 to 15—a gorgeous display of bloom can be enjoyed until late in May. They are brilliant in the extreme for bedding purposes.
