If by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per 100, 7 lbs. 
Tulips are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary to dwell upon their merits here. 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 quantity. For bedding, pot-culture and forcing for cut flowers in winter they are invaluable. 
CULTURE. The cultural directions given for hyacinths on page 2 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 sufficient.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.

MESSRS. R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., Gentlemen:—It gives me great pleasure to certify that I have grown your Rainbow Mixture for many years. It has always given 
most satisfactory results. Its greatest merit lies in the pleasing harmony of colors, the uniform height of the plants and all blooming at the same lime. There is nothing 
better for large beds or for massing effects. 
Yours respectfully ROBERT CAMERON.
