SPECIAL LIST OF HOLLAND BULBS, AUTUMN, 1919 
TULIPS 
The great variety of dazzling colors, in every conceivable combination, 
makes the Tulip the most popular of the spring-flowering bulbs. By plant¬ 
ing bulbs of the different classes, a display of bloom may be had for several 
weeks, beginning first with the early-flowering section and ending with 
the Darwins. 
Tulips may be planted any time from the first of October until the 
ground freezes, and if the beds are later to be occupied by shallow-rooting 
plants, such as geraniums, coleus, etc., they may be allowed to remain a 
second year without lifting, merely by removing the tops as soon as they 
turn yellow. 
If necessary, the bulbs may be carefully lifted as soon as they have 
ceased blooming and hilled-in in an out-of-the-way place until they have 
completed their growth, when they may be stored in a cool, dry place until 
fall. Planted in the hardy border and among shrubbery, they may be 
allowed to remain year after year undisturbed; but they will gradually 
deteriorate and will, in a few years, have to be replaced.
