Thev are quite distinct from the early-flowering sorts ofl'ered on the preceding pages, coming into bloom in the vicinity of Phila- delphia 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. On account of their extreme hardiness, they are specially adapted for the permanent hardy flower border, where they should be liberally 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 pre- ferred to the early type, having long stems with flow- ers of great substance that stand cut in a perfect con- dition for a long time. We have tested over one hundred of the best varieties, and ofifer the selection of twenty sorts with every confidence that they will give complete satisfac- tion. The heights given are actual measurements, taken at our trial grounds May 10th to These, of course, are liable to vary according to soil and other conditions.
