 Mansfield (violet). 



Tulips. 



(7O SO per sq. yard). 



Just as with hyacinths one can get beautiful 

 effects with tulips. There are many possibilities, 

 but one has to restrict oneself to one or two 

 different kinds in one bed. As the colours as 

 a rule are brighter than those of hyacinths, 

 specially the early tulips the chance to get a 

 motley bed is greater. 



The Due van Tholl tulips are the best for an 

 early show. They bloom in the end of March and 

 the beginning of April. There is a great variety 

 in coulours: scarlet, yellow, white, rose, orange 

 and red with yellow margin. Every variety has 

 its own special charms. 



Single Early Tulips. 



The so called single early tulips succeed the 

 Due van Tholl. They bloom later. They have a 

 longer stem, a larger flower and the variety in 

 colours is again a rich one. This kind is for bed- 

 ding purposes simply brilliant. The following 

 are splendid for single bedding: Artis (scarlet), 

 Belle Alliance (scarlet), Chrysolora (yellow), 



Cottage Boy (yellow and orange), Couleur Car- 

 dinal (cardinal red), Cramoisi brillant (crimson 

 scarlet), Flamingo (clear crimson and white), 

 Yellow Prince (yellow), Generaal de Wet (pure 

 orange), Hobbema (pigeon rose), Ibis (dark 

 rose), Keizerskroon (red with yellow margin), 

 King of the Yellows (golden yellow), Lady 

 Boreel (pure white), La remarqiiable (wine red- 

 purple), Max Havelaar (salmon-orange), Peli- 

 kaan (white), Pink Beauty (rose), President 

 Lincoln (heliotrope mauve), Prince of Austria 

 (orange red), Rose luisante (bright rose and 

 white), The Rising Sun (pure yellow), Van der 

 Neer (purple), Vermillion brillant (vermillion). 

 and Woiiwerman (purple violet). 



We give here only those of which we know by 

 experience that they do extremely well. There 

 are of course other kinds, not mentioned here, 

 which will give satisfaction. 



Combinations of Single Early Tulips. 



To get a good combination of two different 

 kinds of single early tulips, we recommend: 

 Fred Moore (bronze) and Yellow Prince (yellow); 

 Van der Neer (purple) and M on Tresor (yellow); 

 Wouwerman (purple violet) and Man Tresor 



(yellow); 



Flamingo (rose) and White Hawk (white); 

 Prince of Austria (orange red) and La Remar- 

 qiiable (wine red purple) ;
