This beautiful class is becoming more popular each season. They are quite distinct from the early-flow- ering sorts offered on the preceding pages, coming into bloom in the vicinity of Philadelphia about May 10th, or two or three weeks later than the early flowering types, and extending the Tulip season over a period of four weeks or more. For the most part they have been collected from the old Cottage Gar- dens of England, Scotland and Ireland, where they have been, in some cases, for over half a century. They are said to be the offspring of Tulipa Gesneriana, and, while possessing infinite variety and brilliancy of color, all have the fine form and stately yet graceful character of the parent. On account ot their extreme hardiness, they are specially adapted for the perma- nent hardy flower border, where they should be liber- ally planted in clumps or masses. They may also be naturalized in grass, wild gardens, etc. For bedding they are superb, while as cut flowers they are much to be preferred to the early type, having long stems with flowers of great substance that stand cut in a perfect condition for a long time. We have tested over one hundred of the best varieties, and offer the selection of twenty-one sorts with every confidence that they will give complete satisfaction. The heights given are actual measurements taken at our trial grounds May 10th to 15th. These, of course, are liable to vary according to soil and other conditions. In planting, the bulbs should be set a little deeper than ordinary Tulips, a covering of 4 inches being about right. Bizarres (24 inches). An odd and striking class. The ground color of the flowers is some shade of yellow
