AND INTRODUCTION 
One is divine. 
One dozen is beautiful. 
One hundred is magnificent. 
Erect long stems, holding full, fleshy, virant-colored flowers, make your gar 
a swaying sea of color. For cutting, nothing makes a more dramatic distlgy j -iat < 
than a combination of “Scarlet Beautv” and “La Tulipe Noire.” J ' ^ L i i ; J 1939 
Picture a bed of “Pride of Haarlem,” with 36 inch stems. You can select Darwy^ 
to give almost any range of colors. * ** 
Tulips may be planted from September 15 to freezing. General rule is to plant 
bulbs in holes twice as deep as height of bulb. Inches indicated in descriptions 
refer to height of bloom.
