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 with any other plant. The culture is the same as for the 



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



so heavily through the winter, but merely enough to keep the action of 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. The following beds are 6 feet in diameter and 



require 156 bulbs, planted 5 inches apart each way, and are made up of 



the most approved sorts. If larger beds are wanted we will be pleased 



to quote on receipt of dimensions and color combinations wanted.
