TULIPS. 



THE Tulip is always attractive from its beauty and brilliancy of 

 color, and is one of the most popular of early spring flowers. 

 A few bulbs scattered here and there produce but little effect, 

 but when planted in masses, or in small groups, they become at 

 once grand and brilliant, and eclipse, in variety of coloring and pic- 

 turesque effect, almost any other flower. Our collection is unu- 

 sually fine, embracing all the choicest varieties. Tulips require 

 cultural treatment similar to Hyacinths; the bulbs, being smaller, 

 should not be planted so deep. All of the varieties named below 

 are well adapted for pot culture, especially the 

 Due van Thol sorts, which can be forced into 

 bloom for Christmas with but little trouble. Put 

 3 bull's in a 4-inch pot.
