Early Flowering Single Tulips 



NAMED VARIETIES. 



Those marked with, the star are the best for forcing in 

 the house. 



^^"TJLIPS are such universal favorites that it is scarcely neces- 

 11, sary to expatiate upon their merits here. Their ease of 

 ^•^ culture, combined with beauty of form and gorgeous col- 

 oring, render them the most popular bulbs grown for Spring 

 bedding, and for Winter flowering in the greenhouse and win- 

 dow-gardens they are incomparable. The Tulip is extremely 

 hardy and of easy culture, flowering as freely in the shade as in 

 the sunshine, and producing as fine flowers in a confined town 

 garden as in a more favored place. Double and single Tulips, 

 when associated together and planted in front of shrubs, main- 

 tain a longer display than if either are separately planted. In 

 gardens where the "flower beds must be kept gay from the earli- 

 est day of Spring, plant between the lines of Tulips, Scilla 

 Sibirica, ChionodoxaLucili.v, Snowdrops or Crocus, and as these 

 flower first they can be removed or cut down when the Tulip is 

 coming into bloom. The single Tulip has a greater variety of 

 rich, delicate and attractive colors than any other section of 

 Spring flowering bulbs. The Single Tulip is extensively grown 

 for indoor decoration, three or five bulbs in a pot.
