12 [I JHWADRKR-PHILADWHIA 4>A W BULBS- FOR EAbb PljANTINGr; 



May=Flowering or Cottage Garden Tulips. 



This beautiful class is now very popular. They are quite distinct from the early -flowering sorts offered on the preceding pages, 

 coming into bloom in the vicinity of Philadelphia about May 10th, or two to three weeks later than the early flowering types, and 

 extending the Tulip season over a period of four weeks or more. 



On account of their extreme hardiness, they are specially adapted for the permanent hardy flower border, where they should be 

 liberally planted in clumps or masses. They may also be naturalized in grass, wild gardens, etc. For bedding they are superb, 

 while as cut flowers, having long stems with flowers of great substance, they stand in perfect condition for a long time. We have 

 tested over one hundred varieties, and offer the selection of twenty sorts with every confidence that they will give complete satisfac- 

 tion. The heights given are actual measurements, taken at our trial grounds May 10th to 15th. These, of course, are liable to 

 vary according to soil and other conditions. In planting, the bulbs should be set a little deeper than early Tulips, a covering of 

 4 inches being about right.
