TULIP. 



The bed for tulips should be made in an open, airy place, thre« 

 and a half or four feet wide. The bulbs to be planted in the enc

 rods. They should not be allowed to go to seed, as it weakens th 

 bulb. When the foliage begins to become of a yellowish browj 

 color, and the top dies, is the precise time to take them up. Lii 

 them carefully, and place in a dry, airy situation till August o 

 September, when the brown skins, except the last one, and th 

 fibres and offsets are to be taken off, leaving the last brown ski

 rich common soil, well pulverized and deep. Propagated fro: 

 offsets.
