Rainbow Mixture of Tall 
Stemmed Tulips 
Each year we sell thousands of this mixture of 
Darwin, Cottage and Breeder Tulips and there 
have been many letters telling of the fine looking 
bulbs received and the beautiful blossoms from 
them. Since we use varieties from all the main 
classes of late tulips, the color range is very wide. 
Red, pink and yellow shades predominate, with 
some lavender, dark shades, bronze, and blended 
tones. First size bulbs, 100 for $3.00, 200 for $5.50. 
Second size bulbs, same fine mixture in smaller 
bulbs (1)4 to IV 2 inches in diameter). Every one 
will give a good blossom. 100 for $2.50, 200 for 
$4.50. 
Second Size Tulip Bulbs 
Some varieties of tulips are unusually free 
flowering and give excellent blooms from second 
size bulbs. These flowers are nearly as large as 
from the first size bulbs but the bulb increase is 
not so great. We are listing six of these varieties: 
Clara Butt, Inglescombe Yellow, Inglescombe 
Pink, Picotee, Orange King and La Merveille. All 
at the uniform price, 100 for $2.65. Your order 
may be divided into 25 each of four varieties.

Culture of Tulips 
Tulips should be planted in September or Octo¬ 
ber for the best results. We find earlier planting 
gives better results than late, although in this 
climate tulips can be planted as late as December. 
While a great part of the size of the blooms is 
determined by the size of the bulbs planted, it is 
essential that the bulbs be provided with a liberal 
supply of plant food. Bone meal is always rec¬ 
ommended but we prefer a well balanced plant 
food such as Vigoro. If manure is used be sure it 
is well rotted and worked carefully all through 
the soil. Cover the bulbs about four inches and 
where the winters are severe mulch with straw 
or dry leaves after the ground is frozen. Lift the 
bulbs every year when the leaves are turning 
yellow. Dry carefully. Do not expose the bulbs 
to the sun or wind. In the fall clean off all old 
loose skin, roots, etc., and reset again.
