It's Tulip 



Tulips may be planted any time 

 from October until the ground freezes. 

 Set them three to six inches apart and 

 about four inches deep, measuring 

 from the shoulder of the bulb to the 

 surface of the groimd. Good drainage 

 is very important. An inch or two of 

 sand beneath each bulb when it is 

 planted will take care of excess 

 n.oisture which might cause the bulbs 

 to rot. Tulips are so hardy that they 

 need winter protection only in severe 

 chmates. A light mulching after the 

 ground is frozen is sufficient. 



Many varieties of Tulips are popu- 

 lar for winter flowering. If potted in 

 September and treated the same as 

 hyacinths (see page 6), thej'' will 

 usually bloom in December. From 

 three to twelve bulbs planted in a 

 suitable pot make a splendid showing. 



A, B, C, etc., following the name of 

 a variety, refer to time of blooming 

 "when planted outdoors: 

 A — earliest. 

 B — come into bloom before those 



marked A are gone. 

 C — a few days later than the B 

 Class. 

 Letters d, m, or t {dwarf, medium, 

 or tall) indicate comparative heights 

 when bulbs are grown outdoors. This is 

 useful in selecting varieties for border 

 planting. 



SINGLE EARLY 

 TULIPS 



(Bloom in Early Spring) 



Single Early Tuhps produce the 

 first splash of brilhant color in the 

 garden. To make the best display 

 they should be planted in large masses. Single Early varieties begin flowering from one to two weeks 

 sooner than the later kinds. They mature and ripen their leaves early enough so that they can be taken 

 up to make room for annuals and other plants. Single Earlies are the easiest of all Tulips to grow indoors.
