EARLY SINGLE-FLOWERING TULIPS. 



(NAMED.) 



^r*\ULIPS are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary to 

 JL expatiate upon their merits here. Their ease of culture, combined 

 with beauty of form and gorgeous coloring-, render them the most 

 popular bulbs grown for Spring bedding, and for Winter-flowering in 

 the greenhouse and window gardens they are incomparable. The Tulip 

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

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

 den as in a more favored place. Double and Single Tulips, when asso- 

 ciated together and planted in front of shrubs, maintain a longer display 

 than if either are separately planted. In gardens where the flower beds 

 must be kept gay from the earliest day of Spring, plant between the 

 lints of Tulips, Scilla Siberica, Chionodoxa Lucillia3, Snowdrops or Cro- 

 cus, 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 flow- 

 ering bulbs. Those only who have massed the different varieties, plant- 

 ing the bulbs four inches apart, can form an idea of their beauty and 

 their great diversity in shade and color, and the grand effect they pro- 

 duce grouped in flower beds or borders. The Single Tulip is extensively 

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