If by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per 100, 7 lbs. 



Tulips are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary to dwell upon their merits. In them we possess a range of colors and 

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

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



CULTURE. The cultural directions given for hyacinth.s on page 8 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.
