PRIZE TULIPS. {See Frontispiece.) 



The three Tulips represented on our cover may be considered to be among the very best single early varieties known. 

 Indeed, they have all the excellent qualities which a really good Single Early Tulip should possess. 



Proserpine is of much more recent date than the others ; endowed with a rich dark rose in color and a magnifi- 

 cent flower. Keizerskroon (Crown Imperial), with its yellow margin of gold is exceedingly showy. Vermilion 

 Brilliant is of a glossy bright vermilion, exceedingly showy. 



DOUBLE TUIilPS. 



This very useful and beautiful class, while not 

 equal to the single in brilliancy, lasts much longer 

 in bloom. The earlier varieties, such as Due Van 

 Thol, Tournesol and Murillo, are excellent for forcing. 

 Many of the other varieties make a fine display when 

 grown in pots, but they require to be forced slowly. 

 The latter sorts, such as La Candeur, Rex Rubrorum, 

 Yellow Rose, etc., are very effective in beds or 

 borders, producing dense masses of bloom of most 

 brilliant colors, which remain in perfection a long 

 time. Each Doz. ICO
