BRILLIANT 

 TULIPS 



FOR FORMAL BEDDING 



The difficulty experienced by amateurs in 

 choosing suitable colors of hyacinths applies 

 equally to Tulips. VV^e have, therefore, select«d 

 a number of distinct Tulips, and offer them below 

 in separate classes and colors. 



There is, however, one important difference 

 between hyacinths and Tulips. Under similar 

 treatment most Hyacinths flower about the same 

 time, while Tulips come into bloom at successive 

 periods. This divergence has frequently been the 

 source of much disappointment, for in a bed for 

 even a vase or pot) planted with different Tulips, 

 one variety may be overblown before others show 

 their colors. Our "Brilliant " Tulips dispose of 

 this difficulty, as the classes have been arranged 

 not only to ensure suitable colors, but also to 

 flower simultaneously. By ordering from the sub- 

 joined list, customers may depend on having their 

 beds in full beauty at one time. 



Although there are hundreds of varieties of 

 Tulips, comprising innumerable colors, shades 

 and combinations of markings and all adapted 

 for garden planting, yet for brilliant bedding 

 effects the solid brilliant colors are usually pre- 

 ferred, especially for design bedding. For this 

 reason we give opposite a list of the sorts usually 

 chosen for such purposes, that can be sold suffi- 

 ciently low to enable them to be used in quantity. 

 A pretty style of bedding out Tulips and hya- 

 cinths now much followed is to cut a narrow 

 graceful design out of the sod — bows, festoons, 

 crescents and more intricate designs may be fol- 

 lowed. The green grass makes an effective set- 

 ting, and a comparatively small number of bulbs 



used in this style makes a fine show. Bed o! Boddington's Brilliant Tulips

The figures following the varieties indicate earliness in flowering: No. i being the earliest; No. 2 following; No. 3 being still a little 

 later, but come into bloom before the No. 2's are out. The height is indicated bv " D" for dwarf, "M" for medium, and '"t " for tall. 

 About 6 inches apart each way— or about 36 bulbs to the square yard— is a suitable distance for planting Tulips.
