Dreer’s Autumn Catalogue, 1904. 
Collections of Tulips for Beds. 
Wes we say on page 6 about the Hyacinth as a bedding 
plant is equally true of the Tulip. Many brilliant color 
effects are possible with Tulips that cannot be produced 
with any other plant. The culture is the same as for the Hyacinth, 
only, being perfectly hardy, they do not require to be covered, so 
heavily through the winter, but merely enough to keep the frost 
from throwing them out of place. When through flowering, the 
bulbs may be lifted and dried off, and used another year, or they 
~I 
may be left in the ground and the beds filled in the same way as 
suggested for Hyacinth beds, 
The following Beds are 6 feet in diameter and require 156 
bulbs, planted 5 inches apart each way :
