It is difficult to conceive of anything toore pleasing to the eye, than a bed of good Tulips.

Another great consideration in their favor is the ease with which tney can be cultiva- ted, requiring only any good common soil to grow them to perfection; the price, too, as compared with other bulbs, places them within the reach of all. There is no class of bulbs that makes so rich and gorgeous a display of blossom with so little attention and care in cultivation, and at so trifling a cosi. The Tulip has been so mucn im- proved by the Dutch cultivators, that it ranKS high in the floral world. In form, wealth of color, and the variety of its mark- ings it is one of the most perfect of flowers. The culture of Tulips is the same as that of Hyacinths, except that the bulbs should be planted three to four inches deep, and two to six inches apart. Tulips are perfectly hardy, so only a slight protection from extreme cold and sharp winds is desir- able. All the single varieties force readily, and of late have become great favorites in the house in mid-winter. If potted in Sep- tember, and treated as directed for Hya- cinths, they may be had in bloom in Decem- ber. When tney show a tendency to bloom just above the bulbs, they must be kept longer in the dark to draw out the flower stems. A splendid efl'ect is obtained by planting from three to a dozen bulbs in a medium sized Parrot Tulip, Mixed Tulips. Each. PerD»z.
