Circular Bed of Tulips. 



WHAT we say on the preceding; page 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 

 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 bed: 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 :
