Miscellaneous Tulips. 
Late Tulips are but little known in this country, yet they are extremely beautiful and striking, and come into bloom in 
May, after all other Tulips are over. Many are the original wild varieties, and if planted where they can remain permanently 
will improve year after year. My experience has been that permanent plantations of Tulips should not be watered after 
(lowering. They seem to do much better if allowed to take their chances with the weather, and 1 know a lot of single early 
Tulips planted in beds in a farm field where they have never been watered or cultivated in any way, not even the weeds and 
grass removed, yet they thrive and bloom splendidly year after year. I wish to call especial attention to Gesneriaua Tulip. 
Without exception it is the most effective Tulip that can be planted outdoors. A bed of it will always attract the greatest 
admiration and enthusiasm.

Gesneriana (Ilortensis), the tallest, largest 
flowers and showiest of all Tulips for bed¬ 
ding out in masses. It deserves to be 
largely grown. Height, 18 to 24 inches. 
Flowers of enormous size, on long, grace- 
ful stems, and the most durable of all 
Tulips, as it holds its beautiful color and 
keeps perfect for a long time, flowering in 
May. Color, rich crimson scarlet with 
glittering blue-black center. This is the 
Tulip that attracted so much attention on 
the grounds of James McKay, Esq., at 
Shadyside. My bulbs are guaranteed the 
true scarlet variety, and not the inferior 
purplish kind, that is not worth planting. 30 1 85 14 00
