Morse's Special Tulips for California 
This is the class of 
Tulips, with deep 
flowers, tall stems, 
and they are fit com- 
panions to the Dar- 
win and Breeder Tu- 
lips. The best and 
only yellows are here, 
also fine reds, oranges 
and pinks. These 
Tulips are not only 
magnificent for bed- 
ding 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 cul- 
ture is to have rich soil 
well drained; use rotted 
manure and bone meal, 
preparing- the beds a 
month before planting. 
Set the bulb in sand if the 
ground is heavy and wet. 
Plant the bulbs as early 
as possible and about 3 
inches deep and 8 inches 
apart. Water sparingly 
during the winter, but 
give plenty as the buds 
develop, and for several 
weeks after flowering. 
Tulips are so bright and gaudy that they are prized by all. Gesneriana Major is a daz- 
zling crimson, the brightest red Tulip ; Parisian Yellow is fine bright yellow.
