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 con- 
sideration in their favor is the ease with which they can be cultivated, only requiring good common 
garden soil to grow them to 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 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 perfectly 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 flower- 
ing two weeks in advance of other sorts of 
tulips and are admirably adapted to culture in 
pots, borders or beds.
