 COLLECTIONS OF TULIPS FOR BEDS 



What we say on (jage (5 about the Hyacinth as a bedding plant 

 is equally true of the Tulip. Many brilliant Color effects are possi- 

 ble with Tulips that cannot be produced with any other jilant. 

 The culture is the same as for the Hyacinth, only, being perfectly 

 hardy, they do not require to be covered so heavily through the 

 virinter, but merely enough to keep the frost from throwing them 

 •out of place. When through fioweiing, the bulbs may be lifted 

 and dried off, and used another year, or they may be left in the 

 ground and the beds filled in the same way as suggested for 

 Hyacintjh beds. The following Beds are 6 feet in diameter and 

 require 156 bullis, planted 5 inches apart each way : 

 '•POPULAR" BED OF TULIPS. 

 This circular bed is divided into four quarters, and as a rule is 

 filled with two decided colors, such as we offer under Combination 

 No. 1. The plan of filling each quarter with a different color is 

 also very effective. This we offer under Combination No. 2.
