TULIPS 



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 scillas, crocus, snowdrops, etc., 

 between 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, selections as to color and season may be readily made. Plant 5 to 6 inches apart, and cover one 

 and one-half or twice their depth. 



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. 



The figures after names of varieties indicate the average height in inches to which they grow. Varieties most suitable for forcing 

 are indicated by a star (*). The letter E indicates those that bloom earliest, M medium, and L latest. 



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 ALL TULIPS. If wanted by parcel post, add post- 

 age at your zone rate. One dozen bulbs weigh 1 pound; 100 bulbs, 

 8 pounds. See page 2.
