For grand effect as an early spring flower the Tulip probably 

 heads the list of bulbous plants. They are so entirely hardy, 

 easily cared for, flower so freely in city or country, sun or shade, 

 and as, with proper selection of varieties, their flowers may be 

 enjoyed from April to June, it naturally follows that they are 

 becoming immensely popular. By planting crocus, etc., be- 

 tween the bulbs, the same bed or space of ground will provide 

 a beautiful display of these early gems, preceding and in no 

 manner interfering with the Tulips. Named varieties are to 

 be preferred for satisfying results, and as we give the average 

 height and relative blooming season of most varieties, selec- 

 tions as to color and season may be readily made. Plant 5 to 6 

 inches apart, and cover to a depth of 4 to 6 inches from the 

 crown of the bulb — the greater depth for light soil. 



For house-culture plant four to six bulbs in a 6-inch pot, and 

 in proportion for the larger sizes of bulb-pans; treat as advised 

 for hyacinths. Good roots and plenty of them before bringing 

 plants to light and warmth are essential to success. 

 Varieties that are the most suitable for forcing are marked with 

 an asterisk (*). 



The numbers following the names indicate the height in 

 inches to which they grow. These heights as given are, how- 

 ever, only approximate, as they vary according to soil, seasons, 

 and other conditions. 



Time of Flowering. The order of flowering is indicated by 

 the letters A, B, C, and D. The difference in time of flowering 

 is not great, so that those under the A class can be planted with 

 those of the B class, and the B class with the C class, and so on. 



POSTAGE ON TULIPS. If to be sent by parcel post, add 

 postage for 1 lb. per doz. bulbs, or for 7 lbs. per 100 bulbs, at 

 your zone rate.
