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 brilUancy and beautiful shading make them universal favorites. Another consideration 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 Avhich 

 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 ex- 

 tremely cold and sharp winds. 



Many of the single varieties force readily and have become great favorites in the house in midwinter. If potted in Sep- 

 tember 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 

 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. 



SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 



All suitable for growing in the Garden 



Most varieties do well when grown indoors but those marketl with a star (*) have been found most uniformly 

 satisfactory for forcing. 



The letter A, £ or C following the name of a variety refers to its time of blooming when planted outdoors, A being the 

 earliest, and those marked B coming into full bloom before those marked A are gone, and those marked C a few days later 



than the B class. The letter d. m or t \dwarf 

 fnediufn or tall) indicates the comparative height 

 grown outdoors. This zuill be found useful in 

 selecting varieties for bedding.
