Boddington. 342 West Fourteenth St., New YorK 5 SECTION I. continued BODDINGTON'S BRILLIANT TULIPS FOR FORMAL BEDDING The difficulty experienced by amateurs in choosing suitable colors of hyacinths applies equally to Tulips. We have, therefore, selected a number of distinct Tulips, and offer them below in separate classes and colors. There is, however, one important difference between hyacinths and Tulips. Under similar treatment most Hyacinths flower about the same time, while Tulips come into bloom at successive periods. This divergence has frequently been the source of much disappointment, for in a bed for even a vase or pot) planted with different Tulips, one variety may be overblown before others show their colors. Our "Brilliant " Tulips dispose of this difficulty, as the classes have been arranged not only to ensure suitable colors, but also to flower simultaneously. By ordering from the sub- joined list, customers may depend on having their beds in full beauty at one time. Although there are hundreds of varieties of Tulips, comprising innumerable colors, shades and combinations of markings and all adapted for garden planting, yet for brilliant bedding effects the solid brilliant colors are usually pre- ferred, especially for design bedding. For this reason we give opposite a list of the sorts usually chosen for such purposes, that can be sold suffi- ciently low to enable them to be used in quantity. A pretty style of bedding out Tulips and hya- cinths now much followed is to cut a narrow graceful design out of the sod—bows, festoons, crescents and more intricate designs may be fol- lowed. The green grass makes an efiective set- ting, and a comparatively small number of bulbs used in this style makes a fine show. SINGLE RED TULIPS 100 Artus. 3D.
