The Tulip Gsilckon 
Most 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 2 inches of it above ground.
