FARQUHAR’S GIANT DARWIN TULIPS “ip eee colors range from the palest lilac to purplish black, including shades of rose, ¢rimson, violet, brown, white, etc. The Darwin Tulips are the strongest race of all, their massive leaves being often four inches broad and frequently grow two to three feet in height. They bloom with the Columbines, three or four weeks after the Single Early Tulips. Clumps of them along the edge of shrubbery and in hardy plant borders are very effec- tive. They are especially beautiful when cut for vases. The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering. Those marked * are the best for forcing.

FARQUHAR’S SINGLE MAY-FLOWERING OR COTTAGE GARDEN TULIPS. If by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per 100, 7 lbs. The May-Flowering Tulips are usually in full bloom about Memorial Day and generally last well into June. Not only do they prolong the Tulip season, but in grandeur of form and richness of their colors surpass most of the earlier classes. They are splendid subjects for natural planta- tions, for clumps in herbaceous perennial borders as well as for formal beds. For cutting they are even better than the early tulips—the flowers being stronger and lasting longer. NOVELTIES IN COTTAGE GARDEN TULIPS Alaska.

In them we possess a range of colors and combination of shades which no other class affords; besides, the standard sorts are so reasonable in price that they can now be planted in quan- tity. For bedding, pote culture and forcing” for cut | flowers in Winter thevae are invaluable: Mixed sSingie Karly ‘tulips wit raupies. CULTURE. The cultural directions given for hyacinths on page 9 can be applied to Tulips, except that the bulbs being smaller must not be planted quite so deep. Four to five inches to the bottom of the bulb is deep enough and a distance of 4 to 6 inches between the bulbs is suffi- cient. They may be planted in October and November before the ground freezes. For pots, six to eight bulbs in a 7-inch pan is very satisfactory. FARQUHAR’S SPECIAL RAINBOW MIXTURE.

It is important in the pot culture of the Hyacinth to have rich, light soil—if possible, a compost of one-third decayed turf, one-third old rotten cow manure, and the remainder equal parts of sharp sand and leaf-mould. This compost should be made a few weeks before being used. If the bulbs are to be potted singly, pots five inches in diameter are the proper size, and the special Hyacinth pots which are about two inches deeper than ordinary pots, are preferable. For draiu- age, cover the hole in the pot with a piece of broken pot, and over this place a layer of moss. Break off any offsets which appear at the base of the bulbs, and in potting place each bulb so that its top shall be half an inch below the surface of the soil and an inch below the rim of the pot. The soil should be of usual natural moisture, and should be pressed moderately firm. The filled pots may be placed in a cold frame where there is protection from frost, and well watered. An excellent plan is to place them on a bed of moist, sifted coal ashes, covering the pots to a depth of six inches with the same material. When well rooted, which will be in about six weeks, the bulbs may be brought indoors and forced. For the first two or three weeks they should be kept in a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. Success in forcing depends much on their having strong roots before being brought to the light. The top grows rapidly, and unless the roots are started much in advance they are unable to nourish the plant, and failure results. Hyacinths for early use may be potted in September or October; late planting is not advisable, as the bulbs deteriorate; when desired f-r late use, it is better to pot them in October and keep them in a cold frame above freezing until it is desired to force them into bloom. To obtain dwarf foliage and fine flower spikes, Hyacinths when being forced should have plenty of manure-water, fresh air, and should be kept very near the glass. The blooms last much longer if shaded from the sun. Hyacinths in the Open Garden. The ground should be dug to a depth of at least fifteen inches, and enriched with plenty of well-rotted cow manure. Hya- cinths may be planted from September until Winter sets in; although if the highest success is sought they should be in the ground by the end of October. Bulbs planted early develop roots in the autumn, and these, if protected from injury by freezing and thawing alternately during the Winter, enable the bulbs to produce much larger flower spikes than if the roots are not developed until Spring. Frost reaching the bulbs raises them up, thus detaching them from their roots. Protection may be afforded by covering the beds with straw or leaves to a depth of six or eight inches, which should be removed early in the Spring. Hyacinths should be set six inches below the sur- face of the ground and six inches apart. FARQUHAR’S SELECTED NAMED BEDDING AND FORCING HYACINTHS.

If planted early they may be had in bloom by Christmas. Plant eight or ten bulbs in a six-inch bulb pan, covering them one inch. The soil best suited is a mixture of rich loam, leaf-mold or humus and sharp sand. For a succession of blooms, bulbs may be potted from August to November. It is essential that root-growth be encouraged by placing the potted bulbs in a cool temperature for several weeks, when they may be brought to bloom in a gentle bottom heat. Purity.
