Artus and Rosalind Tulip Bulbs. 



Fig. 1. — Four clumps of the sLnsle earlv tulip Artas. The bulbs ^jlanted were s to 9 centimeters 

 and set 14 to the row. Fig. 2.— The same as Figure 1. with bulbs cleaned and separated. Only 

 the one on the left blossomed, but all have reached flowering size and each clump has produced 

 two bulbs which wiU flower next year. Fig. 3. — Four clumps of the single late tuUp Rosalind 

 from 8 to 9 centimeter bulbs set 14" to the row. None have flowered. Note that more than one 

 bulb in a clump has a long neck, indicating that each bulb planted produced more than one strong 

 basal leaf which insures added vigor. This characteristic is seldom seen in the single earlies or 

 Darwlns. FiG. 4. — Four cltunps of the same variety as Figure .3 and planted the same, but these 

 have flowered. Note the long necks on two of the increase in each clump.
