BODDINGTQN'S BRILLIANT TULIPS 



FOR BEDDING OR FORCING, FIRST-SIZE BULBS ONLY 



There is one important ciifferencc between liyacintlis and Tnlips. Under similar treatment most liyacintlis flower about the same 

 time, while Tulips come into bloom at successive periods. The divergence has fretiueiitly been the source of much disappointment, for, in 

 a bed (or even a vase or pot) planted with different Tulips, one variety may be overblown before the others show their colors. For brilliant 

 bedding etTects, solid masses of color are to be preferred, especially for design bedding. 



For cultural directions under glass, see hyacinths, page 9. The treatment to be followed is exactly the same. Tulips for bedding 

 should be planted about 6 inches apart and about 4 inches deep, reckoning from the tops of the bulbs. 



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 coming into bloom before the No. 2's are out. The height is indicated by " D " for dwarf, " m " for medium, " t" for tall.

pink. There is no other pink in Tulips that . 

 comes near to the delicate color of this Tulip, 

 when it is forced siowly. When forced too 

 hard the color is too pale. The flowers are 

 large and well formed and when grown right, 

 it is one of the most lovely flowers we know of.
