CIRCULAR BED OF TULIPS FOR FALL PLANTING 



Tulips are the most showy and handsome of all Spring-flowering bulbs. No other flowers can equal 

 them in brilliant and gorgeous colors ; they are entirely hardy, need no protection, and are absolutely 

 sure to bloom. Our Bedding Tulips are specially selected to grow the same height and bloom at same 

 time. We have them in Pink, White, Crimson and Yellow. The bed illustrated above is six feet in 

 diameter and holds 156 tulips planted five inches apart each way. The bed is divided into four sections, 

 as indicated : each section holds 39 tulips of same color— 39 Crimson, 39 White, 39 Pink, 39 Yellow. Price

New Darwin Tulips 



The Darwin Tulips are a magnificent new 

 class of large May-flowering tulips, just recently 

 introduced. They grow 18 inches to two feet high, 

 and bear splendid flowers of immense size and most 

 brilliant colors, including gorgeous shades of blue, 

 Crimson, Rose, Yellow, Purple, Brown and Coal 

 Black, far surpassing everything before known in 

 Tulips. They are entirely out of the usual, and so 

 surprisingly beautiful that even a small bed will at- 

 tract immediate attention, and be a splendid addi- 

 tion to your flower garden for many weeks. Do 

 not fail to include a few New Darwin Tulips in your 

 order. Their wonderful beauty will surprise you , 

 ihey cost but little, and should be planted at once, 

 six inches apart and five inches deep, in open 

 ground.

Due Van Thol Tulips 



Due Van Thol Tulips are noted for their 

 dwarf sturdy growth, brilliant colors, and early 

 bloom. They are specially recommended for 

 house culture, and as they bloom two weeks earlier 

 than the other tulips, they are very desirable for 

 bedding out also. As they grow only six or seven 

 inches high, they should be planted separately, and 

 not mixed with other tulips.
