10 M FERRY & CO DETROIT, MICH. DARWIN TULIPS For the Open Ground The flowers of this superb class have well beeu called "The Tulip Aristocrats." The remarkably brilliant coloring and splendid substance of their distinctly globular or cup shaped flowers of large size, their long strong stems and robust growth of plant, make them unsurpassed for May blooming in the garden. Darwins are not only very desirable for outdoor bedding and last a long time after Cutting, but have an advantage over other classes of late tulips in that they may be forced in pots provided it is done slowly. Another remarkable characteristic of Darwins is that the color inside the flower is just as bright and sometimes even brighter than the outside. There are no true yellow Darwins. The varieties we offer have been selected from a very large list after careful trials and we believe they are the most satisfactory that are obtainable. Baronne de la Tonnaye. Clear carmine rose, toning off to a soft pink; large long beauti- fully shaped flower, 5c. each; 50c. per doz.; I3.00 per 100. Clara Butt. Delicate salmon-pink.
