THE BLUE BOOK OF BULBS

 One of the finest pinks for early forcing. Height 12 in. 10 bulbs, 

 50 cts.; 100 bulbs, $4; 1,000 bulbs, $36.

 distinct and handsome Tulip for bedding, and good for late 

 forcing. Height 14 in. 10 bulbs, $1.60; 100 bulbs, $15.

 model form, and, next to Sir Thomas Lipton, the finest red
