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

 glowing chalices are not exceeded in vivid brilliancy by any other 

 flowei^. Their culture is remarkably simple and above all, they are 

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

 They are extremely hardy, thi'ive in almost any soil or situation and 

 / under almost any circumstances. October and^ November are the 

 best months for planting in the open ground, the bulbs being set 

 from five to six inches apart and from three to four inches deep. Por 

 pot cultui'e in the house place from three to five bulbs in a pot and 

 give them the same treatment as recommended for Hyacinths. 

 to the names indicate the height in inches of each variety.
