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 Late-flowering 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 succession, unless 
the soil is removed and replaced with fresh to a depth of 12 inches. 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 wonderfully 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 decoration in vases and last 
a long time in water. By gentle forcing they may be had in flower from the end of January and on- 
wards, We have discarded a great many varieties, which we considered inferior to those offered now.
