MAY-FLOWERING TULIPS 



May=flowering Tulips. 



This class is now very popular for bedding, naturalizing and espe- 

 cially so for cutting, bearing their large brilliant flowers on long strong 

 stems and lasting a longtime when cut. They bloom from the middle 

 of May until after the beginning of June, according to weather condi- 

 tions, and come in very useful about Decoration Day.
