mh Tulip (CMbdPop 
Many of the following varieties of Tulips were introduced shortly after 
the war. After undergoing considerable testing here privately they have 
more than proved themselves adaptable in this climate. In vigor, quality of 
bloom, in staying power in the garden or bowl—they are in every way super- 
ior to pre-war varieties. 
This is a remarkable family of bulbs with a wide range of color and form, 
and those who saw them in exhibition planting this spring told us they didn’t 
know that Tulips like these existed. Plant them six inches deep in a well- 
drained location and mass them by colors. Mice damage can be largely 
controlled by edging the planting with 12 inch, small-mesh hardware cloth, 
leaving 3 inches of it above ground. 
THE BOTANICAL TULIPS 
Here are permanent Tulips—good for from 10 to 12 years 
in a location. Here, also, is something different in Tulips, 
something every garden doesn’t have. Forms range from 
the exotic to extremely delicate so note descriptions and 
heights carefully. Some of these bulbs are very small but 
plant them all at least 7 inches deep and enrich the bot- 
tom of the hole with bonemeal. Like all Tulips they re- 
quire good drainage, full sun. These Botanical (also 
called Species) Tulips are easy to grow.
