Tulips 
Everyone who has planted our late flowering 
Tulips has had fine success with them. This is 
an unusual record for California and shows that 
the May flowering varieties are well adapted for 
out-of-door planting here. You need have no 
failure if you plant these sorts we recommend, 
but will be rewarded by the finest flowers in 
bright colors, clear yellow, dazzling red and 
shading from these to the dull reds which pre- 
dominate the Darwin class of Tulips. 
Tulips can be shown to advantage only in a 
bed. Don't plant only a dozen; plant a bed of 
fifty or more — they are worth it. Be sure to 
include some Gesneriana (page 3 of cover), the 
handsomest Scarlet Tulip. 
"MORSE'S SPECIAL TULIPS FOR 
CALIFORNIA" are listed on the inside of 
the back cover. These and the Darwin and 
late Tulips on Page 4 are the long stemmed 
sorts we recommend. The back cover illustra- 
tion is of Darwin Tulips. Please see what we 
say about them (inside page of back cover). 
Enrich the soil liberally with manure, or dig 
a little bone meal under each bulb which is 
set on sand just above. 
(If tulips are wanted by mail add 5c per dozen; 25c per 100 
for postage).
