I ¥uli^. HERE is, perhaps, no ornament of the garden that can compare to the dazzling splendor of the Tulip. Its varieties comprise the most valuable elass of hardy bulbs for decorative effect in the garden during the early Spring months. The absence of difficulty in their )) culture, and their requiring no protection whatever after planting, brings them within the ^ scope of all lovers of flowers. No other tribe of plants, whether of early or late blooming character, combines so much picturesque effect, and so much glowing combination of color, with the same neat aud diminutive style of growth. The time to plant Tulips is in October and November, and for early forcing, in September. Any good garden soil is suitable, yet it is desirable to see that the beds are well drained. When planting, each bulb should be surrounded with sand to prevent them rotting. Plant about four inches deep, and from five to six inches apart; if allowed to remain untouched in the beds throughout the year they will bloom freely the second year. Tulips succeed admirably in pots, vases, boxes for sitting-room decoration, &c, &c.
