THE TULIIP. 
The Tulip is the most valuable class' of Hardy Bulbs for decorative effect. It will thrive, 
like the Hyacinth, in almost any soil or situation. A rich soil is not necessary, but well rotted 
manure and leaf mould may be applied when the earth is poor. The drainage should be good be¬ 
fore planting, and the soil fine and deep. Plant in October and November. The Early flowering 
kinds should be set five or six inches apart, and the late varieties seven or eight inches. Cover 
from two to three inches deep. 
EARLY DWARF DUC VAN THOL TULIPS. 
This variety is the earliest of the Tulips, and probably the most generally known. They will 
grow and bloom freely in the smallest pots, or in sand, moss or water.. The best effect is produced 
by planting in large pots six, twelve or more Bulbs of the different colors. If planted in September 
and October, and forced as recommended for Hyacinths, they may be had in bloom in December 
and January. In the open garden they will bloom in April, often in company with the Crocus and 
Hyacinth, and make a really beautiful display.
