tulips; 



I^HE Tulip is always 

 *■ attractive from its 

 beauty and brilliancy of 

 color, and is one of the 

 popular of early spring 

 flowers, A few bulbs 

 scattered here and there 

 produce but little effect, 

 but when planted in 

 masses, or in small gioups, 

 they become at once grand 

 and brilliant, and eclipse, 

 in variety of coloring and 

 picturesque effect, almost 

 any other flower. Our 

 collection is unusually fine, 

 embracing all the choicest 

 varieties. Tulips rec|uire 

 cultural treatment similar to 

 Hyacinths; the bulbs, being 

 smaller, should not be 

 planted so deep. All the 



named below are well adapted for piot culture, especially the 



Thol sorts, which can be forced into bloom for Christmas with 



trouble. Put 3 bulbs in 4-inch pot. 



ures prefixed indicate the average height in inches of each
