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 flowering. They seem to do much better 
if allowed to take their chances with the weather, and I 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 Gesneriar.a 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. The tallest, largest flowers and 
showiest of all Tulips for bedding out in 
masses. It deserves to be largely grown. 
Height, 18 to 24 inches. Flowers of enor¬ 
mous size, on long, graceful 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 atten¬ 
tion 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.$0 JO $1 85 $14 00

The Bizarres, Bybloems, Roses and Violettes are 
the Tulips of the famous Tulip mania of Europe, when 
Tulips sold as high as $1,000 each, and entire communi¬ 
ties were involved in the speculation. They are very 
interesting and beautiful.
