2. Bedding Tulips 



This popular class of Tulips has been 

 derived chiefly from T. gesneriana,a,s have 

 also the florist's Tulips above described. 

 They may be grown in beds or borders in 

 large masses, the bulbs being 4-6 in. apart, 

 to obtain the finest effect. Some of the 

 earlier flowering kinds like Due van Thol 

 are supposed to have descended from 

 T. suaveolens, but they cannot compare 

 in size, beauty, or colour with those from 

 T. gesneriana. As it is very often 

 required to plant Tulips according to their 

 colours, the varieties have been grouped 

 thus for the sake of convenient reference, 

 the single and double varieties being kept 

 distinct from each other. Their culture 

 and propagation are as described above, 

 p. 860.
