HENDERSON'S 



Superior Single Early Tulips. 



Remember that Henderson's Tulip Bulbs are Selected Largest Flowering size 

 not " seconds " that can be sent out at a lower price. 



Tulips are grown more extensively than any other class of hardy spring 



flowering bulbous plants, thriving almost everywhere either in partial shade 



or sun and in the confined town plot as well as in spacious gardens. Tulips are 



planted in groups among the shrubs and herbaceous plants in the hardy border 



orin front in marginal rows of contrasting colors and in beds of either one color 



or in designs of contrasting colors. However, utilized they are beautiful effective 



and doubly appreciated, blooming as they do in early spring and giving the 



first touch of really brilliant coloring to the remaining somberness of winter. 



A brilliant garden display may be enjoyed for nearly two months by planting a 



judicious selection of early, medium and late flowering single and double 



tulips commencing with the Due Von Thols, the first to bloom, and ending 



with the latest of the Cottage and Darwin classes. 



A recent happy plan of carpeting tulip beds with dwarf early hardy plants is 



now much in vogue, pansies, forget-me-nots, daisies (Bellis), hardy alyssum, 



arabis cerastium, moss pinks, etc., are the plants mostly used. Young plants of 



these are set out between the bulbs when the latter are planted in the autumn and 



form a ground work and effective foil to the tulip flowers as well as lengthen the 



season of floral display, or dwarf growing hardy bulbs as crocus, scillas, anemones, 



snowdrops, chionodoxes, etc. — may be used for the same purpose. 



Tulip bulbs are planted 4 to 6 inches apart — the minimum distance for solid masses 



of color — the depth should be according to the soil, in heavy soils 3 to 4 inches to the 



base of the bulbs, and in light soils an inch or so deeper. 



Tulips are also among our most valuable bulbous plants for winter flowering in the house or 



green house. A five-inch pot will take 3 or 4 bulbs, a six inch pot 5 or 6 bulbs and a seven-inch 



pot or pan will take 7 or 8. 



A very satisfactory and easy way of growing tulips in the house is in " Henderson's " Prepared 

 Fibre (offered on 2d page Cover) with this china or glass bowls without drainage holes may be used instead of pots. These may be placed anywhere without 

 danger of soiling carpet or furniture from drip. Full directions are given in our Booklet " How to Grow Bulbs in Henderson's Prepared Fibre " free to 

 customers on request. 



HENDERSON'S LEADING BEDDING TULIPS. 



Although there are hundreds of varieties of tulips, comprising innumerable colors, shades and combinations of markings and all adapted for garden planting 

 — yet for brilliant bedding effects the solid self colors are usually preferred. For this reason we give a list of the sorts usually chosen for such purpose, that can 

 be sold sufficiently low to enable them to be used in quantity. The letters following the varieties indicate earliness in flowering. The "A's" being earliest; "B's" 

 following: "C's" being still a little later, but come into bloom before the B's are out; the height is indicated in inches to aid in arranging beds.
