J. M. THORBURN & CO.— CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



TULIPS, continued 



bottom of the bulb is deep enough, and a distance of 5 or 6 inches between the bulbs is sufficient. 

 They may be planted in October and November, before the ground freezes. A little sand around 

 each bulb is generally recommended, but in light, sandy soil this may be dispensed with. For pot 

 culture, a compost of two parts loam to one part light manure, with some sand intermixed, is suit- 

 able. From three to five bulbs, according to size, in a 5-inch pot, are very effective. The pots 

 should be buried until the bulbs are well rooted, in the manner recommended for hyacinths. Most 

 of the varieties named below are equally well adapted for pot culture or the open border. 



A, B and C indicate season of flowering. A and B may be planted to flower about the same time in the 

 open ground ; C flowers later.
