TULIPS 



Although the Late Flowering Tulips are now 

 more popular for outdoor planting than the Early 

 Tulips there are still many who admire the quaint 

 charm of a bed of these dwarf early flowering 

 varieties. 



For growing in pots indoors or for florists use 

 the Single Early Tulips are still largely used because 

 of their ease of growth, richness of color and early 

 blooming season. 



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 

 perfectlj' 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 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.
