TULIPS
For gorgeous and showy colors the Tulip is unsurpassed, Beds of Tulips in contrasting or blended shades bursting into a mass of gorgeous bloom after a dreary winter are of indescribable beauty and attractivenes.s. In pots they force easily, requiring same treatment as for Hyacinths and produce best effects when 6 to 12 are planted in a pan or box together. For beds treat as for Hyacinths, setting the bulbs four to flve inches apart, and three to four inches deep. If the soil is light plant deep, if stiff plant shallow.
The letters, a, b, c, following the varieties, indicate their earliness of bloom; the a’s flower together, and are earliest, b next, etc. The figures indicate the height attained in inches, to aid^in arranging flower beds.
