EARLY DOUBLE TULIP. 



LATE SINGLE TULIP. 



EARLY SINGLE TULIP. 



many of the choice kinds have a delicacy of pencilling and richness of tinting which excel 

 all other plants. They are of easy culture, both in the conservatory or parlor, and the open 

 garden. They will thrive in almost any soil. A sandy soil enriched with rotted cow-ma- 

 nure is, however, preferable; and being perfectly hardy, they can well claim a prominent 

 rank among hardy bulbs. 



Their cultivation is yet so limited, that their real beauty is not generally recognized. 

 A few bulbs scattered here and there produce but little effect, but when planted in masses, 

 or in small groups, they become at once grand and brilliant, and eclipse, in real variety of 

 coloring and picturesque effect, almost any other flower. Our collection is unusally fine, 

 embracing all the choicest varieties.
