 What you probably are most in- tereSted in when planting tulips is to obtain the touch of color for which they are so highly admired. With hundreds of listed varieties to select from, the task becomes rath- CT staggering to make a choice un- less you go in for tulips in a big way. An ideal solution is to plant an assorted collection, thereby ob- taining the diversity of color you primarily desire. You will find these assortmentS featured as Rain bow Collections. Incidentally, it is just such collection that is cur rently featured as a gift offering, much to the delight of local flower lovers. In this assortment no two colorings are alike. so that you will have a veritable riot of rainbow hues.

Comes Fall, and the dyed-in- the wool gardener starts planning his garden for Spring And who can think about Spring without paying homage to that grand and glorious monarch of all early flowers, the tulip.
 There was a time when only the rich could play with tulips; bulbs brought fabulous prices, and for tunes were involved in the breed ing of new varieties. But now the tulip has become a universal fav- orite, available to everyone in hun dreds upon hundreds of varying shapes and colors and ShadingS. Thanks to the wealth showercd upon the tulip in it's early days, the hybridizers have given to us lim- itless choice of varieties to suit our every taste and whim.
 One need not be a professional fancier to obtain the best of results in growing tulips. Fortunately for the. average person, the tulip bulb possesses the stamina and hardi- hood to withstand the rigors of winter and the vagaries of early Spring weather. No pampering is required; simply give your bulbs q decent soil with adequate drainage, and plant them about three inches deep. Do not bunch them closer than three or four inches to each other. By planting your bulbs now, before the frost gets in the ground, you can forget them until they re- ward you with their gorgeous bloom next Spring.
 Your bulbs, of course, must be free from blemish and of fresh stock None should be less than three inches in circumference. if they are smaller the probability is that you will not get a fully ma tured bloom. The bulbs may be
