The Tulip is the most popular of all Holland Bulbs, and 
for an early and brilliant display they have no equal. The 
Tulip of 25 years aso is very unlike the Imported sorts of to- 
day. In fact onewho hasnot seen abed of genuine Imported 
Bulbs of the past few years can form no idea of their dazzling 
magniflccnce. We offer Bulbs so cheaply that no garden 
should be without a good variety, and there is nothing 
hardier or surer to bloom In all soils or climates. We have 
imported none but strictly first class Bulbs in all rcsimct.s, 
and the kinds wo offer have been proved on our grounds to 
be most excellent. To encourage our customers to plant 
them largely we have made the j)rices extremely low, for wo 
know they will give unbounded satisfaction, and wo hope all 
will have a good \mricty. h'or blooming in t he house during 
winter. Tulips are e.xcoedingly fine. For open ground culture 
plant Bulbs in September or October, two or three inches 
deep and four Inches ajiart each way. When once )>lanfed 
they will increase in number and beauty each year, and prove 
a lasting joy and pleasure. 
Double Tulips produce very largo double flowers, many 
of which are as largo and sho wy as a Pseony. They are lie- 
coming more and more popular each year, which they justly 
merit. A very pretty show can bo made by planting several 
colors, such as yellow, white, rose and crimson, in the same 
bed. The bright colors of the large, double blossoms contrast 
splendidly and make a charming display.
