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. Our experience has been that permanent plantations of Tulips should not be watered after tlowering. They seem to do much better 
it allowed to take their chances with the weather, and we know of a lot of single early Tulips planted in a bed in a farm held 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. We wish to call special attention to the Gesneriana Tulip. Without exception, it is the most effective Tulip that can be planted out¬ 
doors. A bed of it will always attract the greatest admiration and enthusiasm.

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 communities were involved in the speculation. 
They are very intesting and beautiful.
