TULIPS 
We are tempted to pronounce Tulips the most spectacular of all spring flowers 
for a great variety of reasons. In the first place they bring us a blaze of colors 
when the heart is just about starved through the drab and dreary winter months. 
Their range of colors is perfectly amazing, from clear white to deepest purple 
and maroon, including many superb vari-colored combinations. By a judicious 
selection of early, midseason and late varieties, Tulips may be enjoyed for the 
best part of six weeks outdoors, with an additional two months added when the 
gardener goes in for “forcing” suitable sorts indoors. 
Culture. Tulips should not be grown in soil in which they have been growing 
for two years previously. They do best in fresh soil or in beds in which the soil 
has been changed. Growing them in the same soil for more than 2 years will 
at last lead to failure. 
Do not use fresh stable manure at planting time, as it is injurious to the roots. 
Well-rotted manure will prove beneficial. Bone meal or dried sheep manure also 
can be used, about three handfuls to the square yard. This must be thrown on 
top of the soil before planting. 
Nearly all Tulips should be planted outside about 5 inches deep, and 6 inches 
apart according to the size of the bulb. They should be planted four to six weeks 
before severe frost sets in. For best results, do not mulch them until after the 
soil has become frozen, to keep out mice, etc. Do not mulch them too heavily, 
half an inch will prove quite enough. Old cow manure, peat moss, salt hay or 
leaves may be used for this purpose. 
PERSONAL OPINIONS. 
Were we permitted to have it our way we would no longer offer a good many so- 
called “old fashioned” favorites. They are obsolete! Many quite reasonably 
priced newer varieties are far ahead of them in every respect. We do not offer 
novelties of questionable merit. Once you see a variety offered in our catalogue 
you can be sure that it deserves your consideration and trial.
