MISCELLANEOUS TULIPS 
Late Tulips are but little known in this country, yet they are extremely beautiful and striking, and comeinto 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 flowering. They seem to do much better if 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 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. We 
wish to call special 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.
