Tulips 



For grand effect as an early spring flower, the Tulip probably 

 heads the list of bulbous plants. The\ are so entirely hardj-, 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 thej^ are becoming immensely 

 popular. Bv planting scillas, crocus, snowdrops, etc., between the 

 Bed of Single Tulips bulbs, the same bed or space of ground will provide a beautiful 



display of these earl^^ 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. 



If to be sent postpaid, add to catalogue prices 5 cts. per doz., 35 cts. per 100 bulbs. Remit stamps for small sums.
