Tfie Tulip 
The tulip is perfectly hardy and so easily cultivated that it never fails 
to please. No country is too far north to grow them in perfection, where In- 
habited by civilized people. We know of nothing that for the amount or 
money invested will give a more gorgeous show during early spring, lhej 
thrive well In almost any sol. and are sure bloomers, and for several weeks in 
earlv spring, before other flowers have come to remind us that spring is 
here" they are dazzling in their beauty and a source of constant delight 
Thev should be planted during October and November. Plant three inches 
deep in rows and nine inches apart. Allow the ground to freeze before put- 
ting on the winter covering, which should consist only of well rotted manure. 
If It Is desired to continue them ic wii, be best to take them up in the summer 
as soon as the stalk has died down, and put them away in a cool, dry place till 
about the middle of October, when they may be planted as above directed, in 
taking them up the small bulbs may be separated from the old ones, and they 
planted at the same time in a close bed. where they should grow one year and 
then be taken up and treated as above for flowering bulbs. Tu.ips also succeed 
admirably In pots or boxes for sitting room or parlor decorations during winter.
