ITU L/I PS ( Finest Varieties for Forcing and Bedding) 



The use of tulips for bedding for early spring-flowering is increasing from year to year, for nothing that 

 can lie planted gives such satisfactory returns for the outlay. The use <>f named varieties is constantly on the 

 increase, as they are much more effective when planted in solid blocks, in separate colors, than when 

 planted indiscriminately. We offer a large variety of the very Hnest sorts for bedding, and at prices which 

 will perniil the use of named varieties, as a great many of the kinds offered cost only a little more than 

 mixed tulips, for which reason, and the fact that they are much more effective when planted separately, 

 we invariably advise their use, especially when planted in quantity. All the varieties offered are desirable 



for bedding, but all are not desirable for forcing, 

 valuable for forcing for winter.
