Darwin, Cottage and Breeder 
Tulips 
W E OFFER the following varieties of Breeder, Cottage and Darwin Tulip 
bulbs (B) (C) (D), and recommend them for planting in beds as well as 
in groups in the herbaceous border and among shrubs. They usually begin to 
flower during the middle part of May, the blooms remaining in condition a very 
long time. To succeed with bulbs it is necessary to begin right, by getting- 
sound bulbs of good size, and we warn intending purchasers against buying- 
cheap, undersized bulbs and expect the fine results obtained from such as we 
offer. The flowers from our quality bulbs, the best that Holland produces and 
imported directly by us, are extremely large and borne on tall, strong stems. 
The bulbs should be planted not less than five inches apart, and from five to 
six inches deep (to the bottom of the bulb) in well drained soil before the 
ground freezes. After the ground is frozen hard, a covering of leaves or straw 
will prevent the injury of the roots from frequent freezing and thawing. This 
should be removed in the spring as soon as heavy frost is past. Bulbs delivered 
postpaid.
