Tulips are the gay, bright children of earliest spring. Their 

 r~ Vf Wj^^'tfC*' glowing chalices are not exceeded in vivid brilliancy by any other 



i; " flowers. Their culture is remarkably simple and above all, they are 



very cheap, owing to the immense quantities that are grown abroad. 

 The Tulip is the only purely ornamental plant that has been cred- 

 ited with causing a commercial panic, the speculation in the bulbs 

 having reached astonishing proportions early in the seventeenth 

 century, resulting in a severe financial crisis. The days of Tulip- 

 mania have long been past, but the flower itself is loved and appre- 

 ciated as never before. Millions are now grown and shipped to the 

 four quarters of the earth to gladden the hearts of all with the first blaze of brilliant color awakened by the 

 advance of spring. 



The letters and figures prefixed to the names refer to season of bloom and to height of plant; thus A signi- 

 fies early, B midseason and C late, while the figure gives the height in inches.
