DARAVIN TULIPS 
Our Tulips are Oregon grown. Better than imported. 
These are all large bulbs, 1" in diameter and up. This size is best for 
bedding as the bulbs do not break up the first year into small bulbs as the 
“top size” does. We have had them bloom every year for five years without 
digging. 
Ciiltm’e. September, October and November are the best months for plant¬ 
ing tulips. Bulbs planted in December do well usually. We have planted as 
late as March and over half bloomed. Too late planting gives shorter stems 
and smaller flowers. 
Don’t forget that tulips are growing under ground all winter, therefore in 
California you must water them if rains are late, even though they are not up. 
Plant 4" deep (or deeper in cold climates) and 4" apart in good rich sandy 
loam preferably but any type of soil well enriched with old rotted manure 
will give excellent results. 
These are mixed colors, named varieties of long stemmed, large flowering 
types—Darwins, Cottage and Breeders. These types do best in California. Pref¬ 
erable everywhere. They are similar in type and for the sake of brevity in our 
advertising we call them simply Darwin Tulips. No selection of colors may be 
made by purchaser. Accidental mixtures, lost labels and surplus are thus sold 
at one-half the usual price. We do not have tulips in separate colors or vari¬ 
eties. They cost about double our price. 
Tulip Special. Forty large tulip bulbs for $1.00. 100 for $2.25; 500 for 
$10.50; 1,000 for $20.00. 
HYACINTHS 
They also belong in the Lily Family. The dense raceme thickly set with 
flowers is very popular for formal planting. 
Culture. May be planted in early October but later planting will do, though 
stems are not so tall. Hyacinths are fussy about having plenty of time for root 
growth before tops start. 
In the garden, in the north plant 6" deep to base of bulb 5" apart, and 
mulch when weather becomes cold. In the south, 4" is deep enough. Well 
enriched sandy loam is best soil but use no horse manure. Well decayed cow 
manure, leaf mold or peat is good. Sunny location is best. In a 5" pot set 
near surface and place in dark room or better still bury deep in ground, bring¬ 
ing gradually to light after 7 or 8 weeks, when sprout will be about high. 
They may be grown also in hyacinth glasses, not touching water. Grow them in 
a room not over 70°.

color we offer only one variety of each. L’Innocence, pure white. Gertrude,
