DE JAGER Gold Medal Tulips 
We make a great Speciality of Tulips 

Tulips belong to the most beautiful of spring flowers and no plants are easier of culture 
than Tulips, as they are quite hardy, flowering freely in either sunny or shady situation. 
By a judicious selection of Single, Double, Darwin and Lateflowering Tulips, a most 
brilliant display of colors may be maintained for quite a long period in spring. 
Outdoor planting. In beds or borders Tulips may be planted in the autumn until 
severe frosts set in, but October and the early part of November is the best time. Plant 
about 4 inches deep and 4 to 5 inches apart. They should never be planted in the same 
soil 2 years in succesion, unless the soil is removed and replaced with fresh to a depth of 
12inches. Inattention to this matter is often the cause of failure with Tulips. 
For Forcing. They want the same soil and treatment as Hyacinths (see our cultural 
directions for Hyacinths) but it is necessary to plant the bulbs in pots, pans, boxes etc. 
as soon as possible after arrival. If, for some reason, there must be a delay, the Bulbs 
should be stored in a cool place with a constant temperature. We advise our Customers 
to mention it when Bulbs are required for forcing. 
Darwin Tulips 
(May-flowering) 
We confidently recommend this late-flowering section of self colored Tulips, with 
their stately bearing and rich colors. They deserve universal attention and are wonder- 
fully valuable for bedding, borders etc. on account of their brilliant colors and their 
long upright stems. 
They are excellent for cutting, just at the time that the spring flowers are over and 
there is scarcity of flowers in the open ground. The cut flowers are beautiful for deco- 
ration in vases and last a long time in water. By gentle forcing they may be had in 
flower from end of January and onwards. We have discarded a great many varieties, 
which we considered inferior to those offered now.
