BULBS, PLANTS, SEEDS AND SUNDRIES. 5 
PULIPS. 
All our Tulips are selected bulbs; they have no superior in size and quality. 
For beauty of form and brilliancy of color, the Single and 
Double ‘Tulips cast all other spring flowers into the shade. 
Nothing can equal, much less excel, their gorgeous ap- 
pearance in Beds, Lines, Ribbons, or Groups in the spring 
garden, to which they impart as gay and rich an appear- 
ance as the finest of summer bedding plants. In form, 
they are the most perfect of all Florist’s flowers, whilst 
their wealth of colors and the purity and variety of their 
markings furnish abundant evidence of their extreme beau- 
ty and effectiveness in any and every position in which 
they may be placed. In selfs there are the finest shades of 
purple, crimson, scarlet, pink, yellow, and purest whites. 
Of striped flowers, there are purple, violet, crimson, rose, 
puce, cerise, and yellow stripes on snow-white grounds, 
and crimson, scarlet, maroon, and red flakes and feathers 
on rich gold grounds. As they succeed with every one, we 
recommend them with the greatest confidence. Inaddition 
to using them for bedding purposes, they should be largely 
grown in herbaceous grounds, in shrubbery borders, etc., 
in which a few clumps introduced at intervals have a most 
magical effect. In pots, also, with from five to twelve 
bulbs in each, they make fine specimens for the Green- 
house or Conservatory; force equally well with the Hya- 
cinths, and require similar treatment. For keeping up a 
succession of bloom, we advise alternate planting of single 
and double varieties, and undergrowths of Forget-me-nots, 
pink Silene, etc., etc., for the fine contrast they afford, and 
also to furnish the necessary foliage. 
For out-door, plant in October and November, and even 
in December should the weather be open and favorable, 
about four to six inches apart, according to the size of the 
bulbs, and from four to six inches deep. The same soil, 
etc., as for Hyacinths will suit them well. A light cover- 
ing is necessary as a protection from sharp winds. The hea ; 
prices at which they are offered place thera within the Single Early Tulips. 
reach of all lovers of spring flowers. All the varieties of Single Tulips force readily. 
The bulbs may be lifted at the end of May and be laid in, in some reserve spot, until the foliage has ripened 
off, when they must be taken up, dried, and stored away in sand.
