Artus and Rosalind Tulip Bulbs. 
Fig. 1.— Four clumps of the single early tulip Artus. The bulbs planted were 8 to 9 centimeters 
and set 14 to the row. Fig. 2. — The same as Figure 1, with bulbs cleaned and separated. Only 
the one on the left blossomed, but all have reached flowering size and each clump has produced 
two bulbs which will flower next year. Fig. 3.— Four clumps of the single late tulip Rosalind 
from 8 to 9 centimeter bulbs set 14 to the row. None have flowered. Note that more than one 
bulb in a clump has a long neck, indicating that each bulb planted produced more than one strong 
basal leaf which insures added vigor. This characteristic is seldom seen in the single earlies or 
Darwins. Fig. 4.— Four clumps of the same variety as Figure 3 and planted the same, but these 
have flowered. Note the long necks on two of the increase in each clump.
