 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-

Farquhar's Special Rainbow Mixture Single Early Tulips with Pansies. 



CULTURE. The cultural directions given for hyacinths on page 9 can be appUed 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 euiS- 

 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 carefuUy 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 

 quahty. 70 cents per doz. ; $5.oo per lOO; $48.00 per 1,000. 

 SUPERFINE MIXTURE. Extra quahty bulbs in many beautiful and varied sorts, flowering nearly together. 60 cents per doz.; $4.00
