FARQUHAR'S SINGLE EARLY TULIPS. 



// hy Parcel Post, add postage at zone rates; weight per 100, 7 Ihs. 



"T^ULIPS are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary to dwell upon their merits here. In them we possess a range of colors and com- 

 bination of shades which no other class affords; besides, the standard sorts are so reasonable in price that they can now be planted in quantity. 

 For bedding, pot^culture and forcing for cut flowers in Winter they are invaluable. 



CULTURE. The cultural directions given for hyacinths on page 1 can be applied to Tulips, except that the bulbs being smaller must not be planted quite so 

 deep. Four to five inches to the bottom of the bulb is deep enough and a distance of 4 to 6 inches between the bulbs is sufficient. They may be planted in October and 

 November before the ground freezes. For pots, six to eight bulbs in a 7-inch pan is very satisfactory. 



FARQUHAR'S RAINBOW MIXTURE. The varieties included in this mixture are grown separately, and are all popular large-flowered bedding 

 sorts of decided merit. The colors are carefully proportioned, and include white, yellow, pink, scarlet, crimson and many beautiful shades and 

 combinations of these colors. The sorts are selected to flower at nearly the same time and with slight variation in height. For massed beds and 

 grouping our Rainbow Mixture is unsurpassed. The bulbs offered are of the largest size and finest quality. 40 cents per doz.; $3.00 per 100; 

 $28.00 per 1,000. 



SUPERFINE MIXTURE. 



$24.00 per 1,000.
