San Francisco, Cal. 
Morse's Special Tulips for California 
This is the class of Tulips, with 
deep flowers, tall stems, and they 
are fit companions to the Darwin 
and Breeder Tulips. The best and 
only yellows are here, also fine 
reds, oranges and pinks. These 
Tulips are not only magnificent for 
bedding effects, but are splendid as 
cut flowers for the home decora- 
tion. If possible, plant where 
there is shade part of the day and 
you will get better blooms. 
The secret of Tulip culture is to 
have rich soil, well drained ; use 
rotted manure and bonemeal, pre- 
paring the beds a month before 
planting. Set the bulb in sand if 
the ground is heavy and wet. 
Plant the bulbs as early as pos- 
sible and about 3 inches deep and 
8 inches apart. Water sparingly 
during the winter, but give plenty 
as the buds develop, and for sev- 
eral weeks after flowering. 
Tulips are so bright and gaudy 
that they are prized by all. Ges- 
neriana Major is a dazzling crim- 
son, the brightest red Tulip ; 
Parisian Yellow is fine bright yel- 
low.
