TULIPS. 
The Tulip, of all bulbous flowers, is the most celebrated, popular, brilliant and beautiful, and has ever been 
prized as the most decorative and showy of spring flowers. Their brilliant colors, delicate pencilling and richness of 
tinting are unsurpassed by any other flower, and no class of plants produce an effect at once so picturesque and 
ornamental. They are of easy culture, both in the conservatory or parlor and the open garden; and as they thrive 
in almost any good soil, and are perfectly hardy, they can well claim a prominent rank among hardy bulbs. 
SINGLE EARLY TULIPS. 
A large and very popular class of Tulips, embracing the 
most beautiful, brilliant, and varied colors; exceedingly showy 
and attractive. They commence flowering early while the 
season is cool, and continue in bloom during the month of 
May, producing in beds or groups a most gorgeous effect. 
They are also finely adapted for house or greenhouse culture, 
and largely grown by florists for winter and very early spring 
flowers. They may be cultivated in pots or baskets, in moss or 
sand, in the same fnanncr as we have recommended for the 
Hyacinths. Three bulbs in a six inch pot will be sufficient. 
In the open ground, they should be planted six inches apart, 
and about four inches deep. Though entirely hardy they will 
flower stronger if covered with two or three inches of old hay, 
leaves, or coarse strawy manure. Plant in October and No¬ 
vember, and even in December, should the weather be open 
and favorable. The same soil, etc., as for Hyacinths will suit 
them well.
