FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH TULIPS Ready for delivery in September It is difficult to conceive of anything more brilliant in color than a bed of good tulips. Their great variety of color, intense brilliancy and beautiful shading make them universal favorites. Another consideration in their favor is the ease with which thev can be cultivated, only requiring good common garden soil to grow them lo perfection. There are no bulbs which make such a rich and gorgeous display of blossom with so little care and cultivation. The Dutch growers have so mastered the art of tulip culture that they are now able to offer bulbs at prices which bring them within the reach of all. and of a quality which leaves nothing more to be desired. The tulips we offer are among the most perfect of flowers in form, wealth of color and variety of markings. The culture of tulips is the same as that of hyacinths, except that the bulbs should be planted about three inches deep and three to six inches apart. Tulips are perfectly hardy, so that only a slight protection is required from extremely cold and sharp winds. Many ot' the single varieties force readily and have be- come great favorites in the house in mid-winter. If potted in September and treated as directed for hyacinths they may be had in bloom in December. When they 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 effect is oVitained by planting from three to a dozen bulbs in a medium sized pot. All single early varieties commence flowering two weeks in advance of other sorts of tulips and are admirably adapted to culture in pots, borders or beds.
