Dreer's Putumn Bulb Lost. 



TULIP 



Are among the most popular early spring flowers. In richness and delicacy of coloring they surpass 

 the Hvacinths, and will thrive where many other bulbs fail. The soil should be sufficiently well 

 drained to prevent the retention of water. The same soil and treatment recommended for Hyacinths 

 will answer all the requirements of the Tulip. A few bulbs scattered here and there produce but little 

 effect, but when planted in masses, or in small groups, they become at once grand and brilliant, and 

 eclipse, iu real variety of coloring and picturesque effect, almost any other flower. Our collection is 

 unusually flue, embracing all the choicest varieties. For early forcing the Due van Thol and early 

 single sorts are best. They should be started in September, and be treated same as Hyacinths. 

 Early in November they may be removed into heat. The greater part ought to be potted from the 

 mill lie of September to the end of October. For out-door planting they should be set 3 to 4 inches deep 

 and 4 to 6 inches apart, according to the size of the bulb. For the benefit of those who wish to plant in 

 ribbon lines we have prefixed the height in inches.
