TULIPS 



Tulips for bedding are the most popular and 

 effective of all hardy bulbous plants. In our de- 

 scriptions 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 1 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 sufficient. 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 pot, are very effective. The pots should 

 be buried until the bulbs are well rooted, in the 

 manner recommended for Hyacinths.
