CHOICE BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 



3 



Tulips 



Tulips for bedding are the most popular and effective of all hardy bulbous plants. 

 In our descriptions we give the color and average height to which they grow. For pot 

 culture and forcing for winter cut-flowers, they are invaluable. 



The cultural directions given for hyacinths on page i are equally applicable to 

 Tulips, except that the bulbs, being smaller, must not be planted quite so deep. Four 

 inches to the bottom of the bulb is deep enough, and a distance of 5 to 6 inches between 

 the bulbs is sufhcient. They may be planted in October and November, before the 

 ground freezes. 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 i)ot, are very effective. The pots should be buried until the bulbs are well 

 rooted, in the manner recommended for hyacinths.
