Tulips. Double and single Tulips thrive 

 better in a more Northern latitude than 

 this, but some years they flower well here, 

 and as they are cheap, a few flowering 

 bulbs will pay the small amount they cost. 

 They should not be planted later than De- 

 cember, and placed very shallow in the

 ering they require a good deal of moisture.

 of which the flowers appear, forming a 

 truss. Plant from October till January. 20 

 cents each.
