BODDINGTON^S BRILLIANT TULIPS 



FOR BEDDING OR FORCING. FIRST-SIZE FLOWERING BULBS ONLY 



There is one important difference between liyacintlis and Tuli|)s. Under similar treatment most hyacinths flower about the same 

 time, wliile Tulips come into bloom at successive periods. The divergence has frequently 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 

 beddins;; effects, solid masses of color are to be preferred, especially for design bedding. 



For cultural directions under glass, see hyacinths, page g. 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 tlie 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.
