For making: a handsome display in the garden in
the early spring - , before we even dare plant our sum-
mer flowering- plants, there is nothing: so effective,
nor none so reliable as the Tulip. It may also be
successfully erown in pots for the house or green-
house, and when so grown is treated about the same
as the Hyacinth. Nothing: can be more handsome
than a good-sized pot with several bulbs of various
varieties of these in it, and in full bloom.
Garden Culture.— Any good soil, well enriched,
will suit these bulbs. October, or early in November,
is the proper time to plant them. Set them four or
five inches apart, and about three inches deep. Pro-
tect them during the severe months of winter with a
covering of straw or manure. The after culture is
the same as recommended for the Hyacinth.
The earliest blooming varieties are marked a, next
b, and so on in their order. The number before the
names denotes the height of their growth in inches.
For 40 cents we will mail 3
each of the splendid Tulips il*
lustrated on cover. No. 1, Yel-
low Prince; No. 2, Proserpine;
