[For General Classification see p. 9. Names in italics are synonyms. The date of flowering given below and the duration of the flower are for the year 1915 and represent the order in which the varieties may be expected to flower rather than the exact date of flowering, which will vary from year to year; it will also vary according to the source and time of planting of the bulbs. The dates are taken, as a rule, from bulbs which had been grown for two years at Wisley and had been planted at the same time. The heights are measured from the same bulbs and are relative only.]
In this Class, as with the Cottage Tulips, an endeavour has been made to arrange the varieties as they might be in a border, so that they form a colour sequence grading off towards the sections above and below.
A well-known variety of tulip has been selected in each case as the "type" of the section. It is not necessarily the best, but it provides a name by which its section may be referred to.
Darwin Tulip Coloration Patterns: Image Captions -- left to right: Figure 12: Darwin Tulip – 'Prof. Rawenhof', base blue, flushed with white. Figure 13: Darwin Tulip – 'Isis', base blue, white edged.

This section is composed of flowers of two types.

The flowers of Type 1 have, without exception, clear blue or blue- black bases ringed with white as in 'Isis' (Fig. 13). This base is associated with a white, six-rayed star on the outside of the flower, which varies in size with the size of the base. The filaments are blue or blue-black.
The flowers of Type 2 have circular dull blue bases, except that each blotch has a streak of white along the margins of the segment (Fig. 14). The outside of the flower has white segment-margins corresponding with those of the inside. Filaments blue or blue-black.
