TULIP CULTURE 



Best results are to be had by using soil that Tulips have not 

 been grown in for at least two years. Growing more than 

 two years in the same soil will eventually lead to failure. Do 

 not use manure, if the soil needs fertility, mix bone meal 

 with it at the rate of about three handfuls to the square yard. 

 Plant 5 inches deep and at least 6 inches apart. In very 

 severe climates a mulch of peat moss or leaves will be bene- 

 ficial. This should be applied after the first freeze, and should 

 not be over one inch deep. 



Cottage Zulips 



The Cottage Tulips come into bloom with the Darwins and 

 Breeders. They are hardy and robust, with long, slender, very 

 stiff stems. The flowers are mostly long and oval, and many 

 are sweet scented. The Cottage Tulips as a class are rich in 

 the more delicate and artistic shades of pink, yellow, orange 

 and fawn, with salmon, old rose and amber. They are the 

 best of all tulips for cutting, being the most graceful; and 

 some of the shorter varieties with their brilliant colors are 

 unsurpassed for bedding.
