FLOWERING BULBS, PLANTS, ETC. 



TULIPS 



/ T is almost unnecessary to make any 

 j comments on these old favorites so 

 ' generally known and admired, but 

 from experience we are aware that even our oldest 

 plants (and the Tulip is one of them), are either 

 wholly unknown or not sufficiently known to be appre- 

 ciated by many beginners in garden operations. Let us say to these 

 that for making a handsome display in the garden in early spring, 

 before we even dare plant our summer flowering plants, there is no 

 plant so effective, nor none so reliable as the Tulip. It may also be 

 successfully grown in pots for the house or greenhouse ; and when so 

 grown is treated about the same as the Hyacinth. Nothing can be 

 much more handsome than a good-sized pot with several bulbs of various 

 varieties of these in it, all in full bloom. To say the least of it, it is gor- 

 geous. 



Garden Culture.— Any good soil, well enriched, will suit these 

 bulbs. October, or early in November is the proper time to plant them. 

 Set them four or five inches apart and about three inches deep. Protect 

 them during the severe months of winter with a covering of straw or manure. The after 

 culture is the same as recommended for the Hyacinth. 



The earliest blooming varieties are marked a, next 5, and so on in their order. The number 

 before the names denotes the height of their growth in inches.
