Getting the Most out of 

 Tulips 



Plant boldly in masses, avoid the one-flower 

 spotty effect. Group several of a kind together, 

 especially along the hardy border or in beds that 

 will later bloom with summer colors. For May or 

 even April, Tulips add just the needed bit of color 

 to brighten the entire lawn. 



Crown of Gold Tulips 



The flowers are yellow, shaded with rich orange, 



37 Bulbs, for 2y2-ft. bed $1.45, postpaid.
