J. M. THORBURN & GO 'S CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



TULIPS, continued 



enough, and a distance of 5 or 6 inches between the bulbs is sufficient. They may be planted in October and No- 

 vember 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 suitable. 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.
