TULIPS {Finest Varieties fo) Forcing and Bedding) 



The use of tuli])s for bedding for early spring-flowering is increasing from year tn year, for nothing that can be planted 

 gives such satisfactory returns for the outlay. The use of 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 finest sorts for bedding, and at prices which will permit 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 wdien planted 

 separately, we invariably advise their use, especially when planted in quantity. All tlie varieties offered are desirable for bed- 

 ding, but all are not desirable for forcing. The descriptions indicate those best adajjted and most valuable for forcing for 

 winter. 



Culture. — The culture of tulips is the same as that of hyacinths, except that the bulbs should be planted about three 

 inches deep and three to six inches apart. Tulips are perfectly hardy, so that only a slight protection is required from ex- 

 tremely cold anil shar|> winds.

DARWIN TULIPS 



The Most Exquisite Race of the Single Late-Flowering Tulips. Excel in Brilliancy of Colors, Perfect Form of 

 Flowers, Very Tall Stems, and are Now The Most Popular Type of Tulips. 



These late-flowering tulips are ver)- desirable on account of their late season of blooming and their showy 

 flowers. They bloom after the early-flowermg tulips are gone, and the flowers. are exceedingly showy. They 

 are borne on long stems — growing nearly three feet in height — and continue in flower from about the middle to 

 the end of May, depending on the season and locality. In some localities they are in bloom as late as Decoration 

 Day. As they Idoom year after year, they should be planted where they will not be disturbed. The}- are partic- 

 ularly fine for planting in herbaceous borders and on the borders of shrubbery. They are also fine for cutting. 

 This class of tulips is coming into great favor and thev should l)e planted mi. re largely than they have been.
