The Tulip is the most celebrated, popular, brilliant (and has always been prized by florists as the most decora- tive) and showy of spring flowers ; and not simply for eftect alone, as many of the choice kinds have a delicacy of pen- cilling- and richness of tinting which ex- cel all other plants. They are of easy culture, both in the conservatory or par- lor, and the open garden. They will thrive in almost any soil. A sandy soil enriched with rotted cow-manure is, however, preferable ; and being perfectly hardy, they can well claim a prominent rank among hardy bulbs. Their cultivation is yet so limited, that their real beauty is not generally recog- nized. A few bulbs scattered here and there produce but little effect, but when planted in masses, or in small groups, they become at once grand and brilliant, and eclipse, in real variety of coloring and picturesque effect, almost any other flower. Our collection is unusually firte, embracing all the choicest varieties. EARLY DWARF DUG VAN THOLL TULIPS. The Due Van Tholls are admired for their neat dwarf habit of growth,and brilliant colors. They are the earliest of all Tulips, and are especially adapted for pot culture, for winter blooming. The best effect is produced by planting in large pots, six, twelve, or more bulbs of the different colors. For early flowers out of doors, they can also be highly recommended, and produce a pretty effect when planted in masses. The varieties are all single, except the Double Red, Avhich is red, yellow bordered, and very attractive. nAOH. DOZ. EACH. DOZ. Ceimson. Lively 10 $ Vermilion". Velvety 10 $ Gold Striped.
