OUTDOOR CULTURE.—The bulbs may be planted any lime from October to December— 
the earlier the better. They succeed in any good, well-drained garden soil. Set the bnlbs so that 
the to|)s will be 3 or 4 inches below the surface and (i to 10 inches a]iart. Uefore very severe 
weather comes on, cover the beds with straw, leaves or manure, to protect them from the frost, 
but car(> shonld.be taken that this covering is not too thick, as the bnlbs are as likely to be in¬ 
jured by being kei)t too warm as by free/dng; this should be removed in March, or when danger 
from hard frost is iiast.

Tulips 
Tulips for bedding are the most popular 
and clfeetive of all hardy bnlbons [dants. In 
our dcscrij(tions we give the color and aver¬ 
age height to which they grow. Eor pot cnl- 
ture and forcing for \\'inter cut flowers, they 
are invaluable. 
The cultural directions given for Hya¬ 
cinths on page .1 arc equally applicable to 
Tulips, except that the bnlbs, being smaller, 
must not be jdanted quite so deej). Eour 
inches to the bottom of the Inilb is deep 
(uiough, and a. distance of 5 to (1 inches be¬ 
tween the bulbs is sullicicnt. They may be 
planted in October and November, before the 
ground freezes. Eor pot culture, a conqiost 
of two parts loam to one p)art light manure, 
with some sand intermixed, is suitable. Erom 
three to live bidbs, according to size, in a. 
5-inch pot, are very effective. The pots 
should be buried until the bulbs are well 
rooted in the manner recommended tor Hya¬ 
cinths.
