BEDDING TULIPS 
It is difficult to conceive of anything more brilliant in color thana bed of good tulips. Their great 
variety of color, intense brilliancy and beautiful shading make them universal favorites. Another con- 
sideration in their favor is the ease with which they can be cultivated, only requiring good common 
garden soil to grow them to perfection. There are no other bulbs which make such arich and gorgeous 
display of blossom with so little care and cultivation. 
The Dutch growers have so mastered the art of tulip culture that they are now able to offer bulbs at 
prices which bring them within the reach of all,and of a quality which leaves nothing more to be desired. 
The tulips we offer areamong the most perfect of flowers 1n form, wealth of color and variety of markings. 
The culture of tulips out of doors is the same as that of hyacinths, except that the bulbs should be planted about 
three inches deep and three to six inches apart. Tulips are perfectly hardy, so that only a slight protection is required 
from extremely cold and sharp winds. 
Many of the single varieties force readily and have become great favorites in the house in midwinter. If potted in 
September and treated as directed for hyacinths they may be had in bloom in December. Two bulbs in a four-inch pot 
have been found desirable. When they show a tendency to bloom just above the bulbs they must be kept longer in 
the dark to draw out the flower stems. A splendid effect is obtained by planting from three to a dozen bulbs ina 
medium sized pot. 
All single pakly varieties commence flowering two weeks in advance of other sorts of tulips and areadmirably adapted 
to culture in pots, borders or beds. 
SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
All suitable for growing in the Garden 
: ost varieties do well when grown indoors but those marked with a star (*) have been found most satisfactory 
or forcing. 
The letters A, B, C, etc., following the name of a vartety refer to its time of blooming when planted outdoors, A being 
the earliest, and those marked B coming into full bloom before those marked A are gone, and those marked C a few days 
later than the B class. 
The letter ad, mort (dwarf, medium or tail) indicates the comparative height grown outdoors. This will be found useful 
in selecting varieties for bedding.
