FARQUHAR’S AUTUMN CATALOGUE. 
(of) 
TULIPS. 
All our Tulips are selected bulbs; they have no superior in size and quality. 
For beauty of form and brilliancy of color, the Single and Double Tulips cast all other spring flowers 
into the shade. Nothing can equal, much less excel, their gorgeous appearance in Beds, Lines, ‘Ribbons, 
or Groups in the spring garden, to which they impart as gay and rich an appearance as the finest of summer 
bedding plants. In form, they are the most perfect of all Florist’s flowers, whilst their wealth of colors and 
the purity and variety of their markings furnish abundant evidence of their extreme beauty and effective- 
ness in any and every position in which they may be placed. In selfs there are the finest shades of purple, 
crimson, scarlet, pink, yellow, and purest whites. Of striped flowers, there are purple, violet, crimson, rose, 
puce, cerise, and yellow stripes on snow-white grounds, and crimson, scarlet, maroon, and red flakes and 
feathers on rich gold grounds. As they succeed with every one, we recommend them with the greatest 
confidence. In addition to using them for bedding purposes, they should be iargely grown in herbaceous 
grounds, in shrubbery borders, etc., etc.,in which a few clumps introduced at intervals have a most magical 
effect. In pots, also, with from 5d to 12 bulbs in each, they make fine specimens for the Greenhouse or Con- 
servatory; force equally well with Hyacinths, and require similar treatment. For keeping up a succession 
of bloom, we advise alternate planting of single and double varieties, and undergrowths of Forget-me-nots, 
pink Silene, ete., etc., for the fine contrast they afford, and also to furnish the necessary foliage. 
For out-door, plant in October and November, and even in December should the weather be open and 
favorable, about four to six inches apart, according to the size of the bulbs, and from four to six inches deep. 
The same soil, etc., as for Hyacinths will suit them well. A light covering is necessary as a protection from 
sharp winds. The prices at which they are offered place them within the reach of all lovers of spring 
flowers. All the varieties of Single Tulips force readily. 
The bulbs may be lifted at the end of May and be laid in, in some reserve spot, until the foliage has 
ripened off, when they must be taken up, dried, and stored away in sand.
