. Dreer's bulb list : 1887. Nurseries (Horticulture) Catalogs; Commercial catalogs Seeds; Bulbs (Plants) Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs. TULIP Are among the most popular early spring flowers. In richness and delicacy of coloring they surpass the Hvacinths, and will thrive where many other bulbs fail. The soil should be sufficiently well drained to prevent the retention of water. The same soil and treatment recommended for Hyacinths will answer all the requirements of the Tulip. 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, iu real variety of coloring and picturesque effect, almost any other flower. Our collection is unusually flue, embracing all the choicest varieties. For early forcing the Due van Thol and early single sorts are best. They should be started in September, and be treated same as Hyacinths. Early in November they may be removed into heat. The greater part ought to be potted from the mill lie of September to the end of October. For out-door planting they should be set 3 to 4 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, according to the size of the bulb. For the benefit of those who wish to plant in ribbon lines we have prefixed the height in inches. Early Single Named Tulips. Admiration. Dark brown. Alida Maria. White and crimson. Artus.
