arwins Great, bowl-shaped flowers on stems 2 to 3 feet long. Beautiful be- yond description and remarkable for their bril- l i a n c y and variety of coloring. The name "Darwin" was given these magnificent Tulips in honor of the great evolutionist, as they are a development from other kinds and were first offered for sale in 1889. Since then their popularity has increased to such an extent that enough cannot be grown to meet the demand. When planting, put an inch of sand at the base of each bulb to provide drainage. We had the leading Darwin specialist in Holland send us a special collection for trial, from which we chose the following: ' Baron de la Tonnaye. Vivid pink, mar- gined with silvery rose or blush. Flowers very large. The leading pink. Clara Butt. Soft salmon-pink shaded with rose; inside much deeper, with blue base. Dream. Beautiful, uniform light lilac or pale heliotrope. This color blends nicely with the purple shades. Fra Angelica. Rich dark maroon; a ver\' early bloomer. Flambeau. Brilliant rosy scarlet with blue base. King Harold. Glossy ox-blood red with purple-black base; very large flower of fine form. La Tulipe Noire. Very dark maroon-black, the blackest of ail Tulips, having a velvety sheen in the sunlight. Mme. Krelage.
