TULIPS 



Ready for delivery in September 



It is difficult to conceive of anything more brilliant in color than a bed of good tulips. Their great variety of color, 

 intense brilliancy and beautiful shading make them universal favorites. Another consideration in their favor is the ease 

 with which thev can be cultivated, only requiring good common garden soil to grow them lo perfection. There are no 

 bulbs which make such a rich 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 are 

 among the most perfect of flowers in form, wealth of color and variety of markings. 



The culture of tulips 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 ot' the single varieties force readily and have be- 

 come great favorites in the house in mid-winter. If potted 

 in September and treated as directed for hyacinths they 

 may be had in bloom in December. 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 oVitained by planting from three to 

 a dozen bulbs in a medium sized pot. 



All single early varieties commence flowering two 

 weeks in advance of other sorts of tulips and are 

 admirably adapted to culture in pots, borders or beds. 



SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 



All suitable for growing in the Garden 



IMost varieties do well when grown indoors but those 

 marked with a star (*l have been found most uniformly 

 satisfactory for forcing. 



The letter A, B or C following the name of a variety 

 refers to its time of bloo7ning when planted outdoors. A 

 being the earliest, and those marked B comt7ig into full 

 bloom before those marked A are gone. a7id those marked C 

 a feiv days later than the B class. The letter d. m or t 

 {dwarf, medium or tall) indicates the comparative height 

 grown outdoors. This will be found useful in selecting 

 varieties for bedding.
