Catalogue of Bulbs, Seeds and Plants, Fall 1916 3 TULIPS Ready for Delivery in September Tulips for bedding out-of-doors are the most popular of all hardy bulbous plants, and for winter window-gardening stand unequaled. They are entirely hardy and of very easy culture. For outside flowering Tulips should be planted during October and November. By planting between the lines of Tulips, Scilla Sibirica, Crocus and Snowdrops, the flower beds are made gay from the earliest day of spring. The Tulips will come into bloom when the others have passed away. A continuation of these pleasing effects can be main- tained almost up to the middle of June by setting out mid-season and late-blooming sorts selected from the Cot- tage Garden, Darwin, and Parrot Tulips, described on following pages. SINGLE EARLY TULIPS In making choice of suitable sorts for forming display beds in design, please note that those marked A flower together and are earliest; B's follow before the A's are out of bloom, etc. The figure following the name indicates the height in inches.
