COLLECTIONS OF 



(Top size bulbs only) 

 This beautiful class is quite distinct from the early flow- 

 ering, Darwin and other sorts offered, coming into bloom 

 in the vicinity of Philadelphia about May 10th. On ac- 

 count of their extreme hardiness, and long lasting quali- 

 ties, they are specially adapted for the permanent hardy 

 flower border. They may also be naturalized in grass, wUd 

 gardens, etc. For bedding they are superb, while as cut 

 flowers, having long stems with flowers of great substance, they stand 

 in perfect condition for a long time. In planting, the bulbs should be set 

 a little deeper than early tulips, a covering of 4 inches being about right.
