ARRANGEMENT AND CULTURE OF TULIPS. 
BY MR. H. GROOM, M.H.S. FLORIST TO THE QUEEN. 
Having in my former letter given a description of the properties 
of tulips, I shall now proceed to give a few directions for their 
arrangement and cultivation. As some of your readers may not 
have seen the account of a tulip-case I gave some years since, I 
shall commence with describing it, as it is very necessary to be 
possessed of a case of that description to render what would be 
otherwise very difficult (the keeping the various kinds distinct) 
perfectly easy and simple : it alsd affords the greatest facility in 
their arrangement, so that the colours may be equally distributed 
throughout the bed. 
The case should be 4 feet high, 2 feet 8 inches wide* and
