SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
The first of the early spring tulips to bloom, 
coming in bloom with the daffodiis. Recom¬ 
mended especially for bedding and borders, 
adding color to the garden before the taller 
Darwins and Cottage varieties make their ap¬ 
pearance. Ideal for porch or window boxes.

tulip yet introduced, large and tall. 3 for

TULIP CULTURE 
Best results are to be had by using soil that 
Tulips have not been grown in for at least two 
years. Growing more than two years in the 
same soil will eventually lead to failure. Do 
not use manure, if the soil needs fertility, mix 
bone meal with it at the rate of about three 
handfuls to the square yard. Plant 5 inches 
deep and at least 6 inches apart. In very severe 
climates a mulch of peat moss or leaves will 
be beneficial. This should be applied after the 
first freeze, and should not be over one inch 
deep. 
“Just a line to tell you the bulbs came yester¬ 
day, the third day of our big snowstorm. (A 
snowstorm in golden October.) Today I went 
out, shoveled the snow out of the holes I had 
previously made for the bulbs, and planted 
those precious, fine looking bulbs — covered 
them with a nice, warm blanket of pure white 
snow—and hope for the best. And thank you 
for the extras. The bulbs are extra fine.” Mrs. 
W. H. M., Montana.
