Tulips are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary to dwell upon their merits. In them we possess a range of colors and 
combination of shades which no other class affords; besides, the standard sorts are so reasonable in price that they can now be planted in quan- 
tity. For bedding, pot culture and forcing for cut flowers in Winter they are invaluable.

CULTURE. The cultural directions given for hyacinths on page 9 can be applied to Tulips, except that the bulbs being smaller must not 
be planted quite so deep. Four to five inches to the bottom of the bulb is deep enough and a distance of 4 to 6 inches between the bulbs is suff- 
cient. They may be planted in October and November before the ground freezes. For pots, six to eight bulbs in a 7-inch pan is very satisfactory. 
FARQUHAR’S SPECIAL RAINBOW MIXTURE. The varieties included in this mixture are grown separately, and are all popular 
large-flowered bedding sorts of decided merit. The colors are carefully proportioned, and include ‘white, yellow, pink, scarlet, crimson and 
many beautiful shades and combinations of these colors. The sorts are selected to flower at nearly the same time and with slight variation 
in height. For massed beds and grouping our Rainbow Mixture is unsurpassed. The bulbs offered are of the largest size and finest
