For beauty of form and brilliancy of coloring, Tulips are unequaled. For bedding they are the most popular 

 and effective of all hardy bulbous plants. In order to assist our customers in selecting varieties of tulips for beds 

 in borders, etc., we give herewith a Ust of the most popular varieties, in very Early, Early, and Late sorts. The 

 height of stem is indicated as "tall" and "medium". The varieties indicated in heavy faced type are new and 

 choice and are highly reconmiended. The most gorgeous effects can be produced by harmonious massing of 

 contrasting colors. For pot culture and forcing for winter cut-flowers they are also invaluable. 



CULTURE. — The cultural directions given for hyacinths, on page 3, are equally appHcable to TuUps, except 

 that the bulbs, being smaller, must not be planted quite so deep. Four inches to the bottom of the buJb is deep 

 enough, and a distance of o or 6 inches between the bulbs is sufficient. A little sand around each bulb is generally 

 recommended, but in light, sandy soil this may be dispensed with. To obtain the best results it is desirable that 

 they should not be planted in groimd where Tulips were grown the pre\ious year. We recommend early planting 

 so that the bulbs may obtain a good root growth before the fro.st sets in. For pot culture, a compost of two parts 

 loam to one part Ught 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 ground.
