TUUPS 



It is diflScult to con- 

 ceive of anything 

 more brilliant in 

 color than a bed of 

 good tulips. Their 

 great variety of color, intense 

 brilliancy and beautiful shad- 

 ing make them universal 

 favorites. Another consid- 

 eration in their favor is 

 the ease with which they 

 can be cultivated, only re- 

 quiring good common garden 

 soil to grow them to perfec- 

 tion. There are no bulbs 

 which make such a rich and 

 gorgeous display of blossom 

 with so little care and culti- 

 vation. 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 de- 

 sired. 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 

 only a slight protection is required from ex- 

 treme cold and sharp winds. 



All of the single varieties force readily and 

 have become great favorites in the house in 

 mid-winter. If potted in September 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. 



The 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.

The letter A, B or C following the na?ne of a variety refers to its time of blooming when planted out doors, A 

 being the earliest, and those marked B coming into full bloom before those marked A are g07ie, so that both can 

 be planted together with good effect.
