Cultural Directions 
Bulbs may be planted any time from October 
1st until the ground is irozen solid. They succeed 
in any good garden soil, and while it is more 
desirable to have a light, sandy loam, this is not 
as essential as having the soil, no matter what its 
quality, in a well-spaded and prepared condition, 
and to furnish the proper drainage conditions if 
planted in a situation where water has a tendency 
to stand at any time. Plant four inches apart and 
four to five inches deep. Tulips are perfectly 
hardy, so that only a slight protection is required 
during the cold winter months. 
Darwin Tulips 
These beautilul tulips have well been called 
“the tulip Aristocrat.” 'their brilliant coloring 
and large cup-shaped tlowers Dome on long stems 
make them unsurpassed for May blooming in the 
garden, their lasting qualities make them very 
uesirable for cut flowers, they bloom from the 
middle of May to the first of June.

Breeder Tulips 
The Breeders are a most attractive class for 
the many tulip fanciers who are interested in the 
revival of the taste for ‘‘art colors.” The flowers 
are self colored in dull or soft tones of buff, 
bronze or purple and among them will be found 
some of the most splendid and beautiful of all 
tulips; they are usually large, of excellent form 
and borne on tall, sturdy stems. Not only on ac¬ 
count of their large size and odd but beautiful 
colors, but also because of their great lasting 
qualities, this class is becoming very popular for 
garden decoration. If planted in combination with 
the more brilliant Cottage or Darwin sorts they 
produce a display in the early summer months 
that is most effective. Culture: The same as 
that for Darwin Tulips. Doz. 100

Cottage Tulips 
The Cottage or May Flowering tulips compete 
with the Darwin class for popular lavor. this 
type differs from the Darwins and Breeders in 
having long pointed flowers of which the petals 
are sometimes turned back. Some flowers are 
very prettily shaped and all are borne on nice 
long stems. They bloom a few days later than 
the Darwins, often carrying the flowering period 
of Spring bulbs into the early days of June, espe¬ 
cially if planted in a shady position. The colors 
are very bright and clear and almost every known 
shade is to be found among them, especially the 
pure yellows which are not found among the 
others. Some varieties are highly perfumed. Plant¬ 
ing directions the same as those tor Darwin and 
Breeder Tulips.

Triumph Tulips 
Triumph Tulips are a crossing between Darwin 
Tulips and Single Early Tulips. In the past few 
years Triumph Tulips have been tried out by 
leading growers, who unanimously were elated 
over their excellent results. Their substance is 
unsurpassable and they last from ten days to two 
weeks longer than any other kind. They are very 
fine for the border and garden on account of their 
tall, strong stems and their colors. In Triumph 
Tulips one can find the shades oi the brightest 
Early Tulips, the soft glow of the Darwins, the 
catching combination of the two colored varieties, 
and the dull gloss oi the Breeders. They come 
into bloom about 10 days earlier than the Darwins 
and Breeders and bloom right along with these 
favorite sorts. We advise our customers to give 
the Triumph Tulips a trial for which purpose we 
can recommend tne following leading varieties:

Single Early 
This class gives us the first bright flowers in 
Spring, usually blooming about the middle of 
April to the first of May. The uniformity of their 
height and their upright short stems make them 
very desirable for planting in beds, parkways and 
similar locations.

Parrot Tulips 
Remarkable for their fantastic form and color¬ 
ing. The flowers are large and each is gracefully 
cut and fringed while the colors are of such 
wonderful combinations that they resemble the 
plumage of a beautiful parrot. They bloom about 
the same time as the Darwin and Breeder Tulips. 
The bulbs are not as large as the other varieties 
of tulips but they have large flowers.
