DREER'S Combinations of Tulips 



FOR BEDS. 



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 bril- 

 liant 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 ihrowing 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.
