Collections of Tulips for Beds 



WHAT we say on page 7 about the Hyacinth as a bedding 

 plant is equally true of the Tulip. Many brilliant color 

 effects are possible with Tulips that cannot be produced 

 v/iih any other plant. The culture is the same as for the Hyacinth, 

 only, being perfectly hardy, they do not require to be covered so 

 heavily through the winter, but merely enough to keep the frost 

 from throwing them out of place. When through flowering, 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 Hyacinth beds. 



The following Beds are 6 feet in diameter and require 156 

 bulbs, planted 5 inches apart each way :
