Bed of Tulips. TULIP BEDS. It is to be regretted that the gorgeous displays presented by the Tulip beds of our public parks should so seldom be seen on our private lawns. Tulips are so hardy and of such easy culture that failure to obtain satis- factory results is possible only by selecting unsuitable sorts. In order to obviate this difficulty, we give the following groups of sorts that bloom at the same time and are of equal height. Any of these groups will form an effective combination. After the Tulips have flowered, the beds can be used for bedding plants, such as Gera- niums, etc., to full advantage. Rich soil is necessary. It is advisable to order as soon as possible after receipt of this Catalogue, as later on in the season we may be sold out of some varieties, owing to an unusual demand for them. In that case we shall substitute equally fine sorts of same color and time of bloom. GROUPS OF TULIPS THAT WILL FORM EFFECTIVE COMBINATIONS. SINGLE TULIPS. (Due van Thol Scarlet. (La Reine.
