 SINGLE LATE OR MAY-FLOWERING TULIPS 



For Planting among Herbaceous Plants and Formal Borders of Shrubbery, etc. 



It is surprising that these grand TuHps have not been more largely iilanted. As an early display, they are magnificent in their beauty 

 and coloring, coming into flower, as they do. from May 15 to the first week in June, according to the season, and are most useful from a 

 decorative point of view, after the early-flowering Tulips are past. The colors are various, as described in the following varieties, and their 

 height, after being well established, reaches nearly three feet in some types. After planting, they need not be disturbed for years, and fill in 

 the space until spring plants can be set out in beds. There are man)- more beautiful late-flowering Tulips, but the following are a few of the 

 most distinct varieties. No pretentious garden, or public park where flowers are grown extensively under appropriate surroundings, should 

 be without a selection of them, for they afford immense enjoyment to large numbers of people, as we know from experience.

 days the flowers change to a deep rose, and, un-
