Tulips 
Tulips for bedding are the most popular 
and effeetive of all hardy bulbous plants. In 
our descriptions we give the color and aver¬ 
age height to which they grow. For pot cul¬ 
ture and forcing for Winter cut flowers, they 
are invaluable. 
The cultural directions given for Hya¬ 
cinths on page 1 are equally applicable to 
Tulips, except that the ljulbs, being smaller, 
must not bo jdanted quite so deep. Four 
inches to the bottom of the bulb is deep 
enough, and a distance of 5 to 6 inches be¬ 
tween the bulbs is sudieient. They may be 
])lanted in October and November, before the 
ground freezes. For ])ot culture, a compost 
of two parts loam to one part light manure, 
with some sand intermixed, is suitable. From 
three to five bulbs, according to size, in a 
S-inch pot, are very effective. The i)ots 
should be buried until the bulbs are well 
rooted in the manner recommended for 'Hya¬ 
cinths. 
Due Van Tliol Tulii)s 
The Due van Thols are the earliest of ail 
the Tulijis. They are of dwarf habit, and 
well adapted for forcing and for jjot culture. 
They bloom outdoors before the early single
