Culture. Bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 
inches deep and not Jess than 5 inches apart. 
One-half inch of sand at base of bulbs will 
amply repay the trouble by the provision for 
drainage during wet weather. For forcing, 
bulbs should be planted as soon as received, 
and the flowers appear to better advantage 
if pots a trifle deeper than the ordinary bulb- 
pans are used. We recommend what are 
termed azalea-pots for this purpose. A tem- 
perature of 55 to 60 degrees is recommended, 
for if allowed to ‘‘come gently,” larger flowers 
and lJonger stems may be had. 
Should we cover our Tulips? Tulips 
are the easiest of bulbous plants to grow. 
We advise, however, against covering them 
with any kind of mulch. In the first place, 
the bulbs do not require warmth. Mulches 
provide ideal nesting-places for field-mice 
which seem to like to eat the bulbs. In mild 
winters mulches encourage premature growth. 
Greater damage is done to Tulips by poor 
drainage than cold weather. Our suggestion 
is to make sure of a well-drained location for 
success with Tulips. 
We have been testing for the past fifteen 
years approximately 400 new, rare, and 
standard varieties of Darwin, Breeder, and 
Cottage Tulips at our Islip Farm. After care- 
ful checking, we find the following eighty- 
nine varieties to be the finest procurable 
either in Holland, England, or the United 
States. In offering them to our clients, we 
do it with the confidence that comes from 
the knowledge that there are no finer va- 
rieties from the standpoint of color, size of 
bloom, substance of petals, length of stems 
or duration of bloom. The following list in- 
cludes the best standard as well as the best 
new varieties: 
ADMIRAL TROMP. Breeder. One of the 
newer Breeder Tulips, which will become 
more popular when better known. The 
general tone of the flower is a bright orange- 
red shaded salmon. Petals are of good sub- 
stance and the blooms are large. Height 
30 in. $1.50 for 10, $12.00 per 100 
ADORATION. Darwin. A very lovely color 
and quite distinct—pale, soft flesh-pink 
with lighter edge and a white base. Very 
large, well-formed flower carried on a fine, 
strong stem. Height 28 in. 
$2.00 for 10, $15.00 per 100 
ADVANCE. Cottage. A  much-admired 
Tulip in our trial gardens. It is the result 
of a cross between Gesneriana spathulata 
and the botanical Tulip Greigi. One of the 
largest of all Tulip flowers, reminding one 
when fully opened of an Oriental poppy. 
The color is fiery red with a blue base. One 
of the earliest of the May-flowering Tulips. 
Height 32 in. $1.75 for 10, $15.00 per 100 
AFTERGLOW. Darwin. Deep rosy orange 
with salmon shading at edges of petals; 
inside deep orange with yellowish base. A 
sport of Baronne de la Tonnaye, which 1 Is 
of remarkable interest because it is the 
first Instance of a Darwin sporting to the 
Breeder tones. A showy Tulip for out- 
doors. Height 26 in. 
$1.50 for 10, $12.00 per 100 
ALBINO. Cottage. A popular white Cottage 
Tulip which is largely used for early fore- 
ing. Excellent when grown from precooled 
stock. Height 24 in.
