Tulips differ very little in point of culture

 bulb to a four- or five-inch pot, however, from 

 three to six may" be set and the bulbs may be 

 planted more deeply — but with never more than

Singles : Due Van Thol in varieties of blush, 

 scarlet, rose, yellow and white ; Artus, red ; Ca-

Doubles: Golden King, j'ellow; Gloria So- 

 ils, scarlet and yellow ; La Candeur, white, and 

 Imperator Rubrorum, brilliant scarlet.
