R. & J. FARQUHAR COMPANY, BOSTON 



Bed of Farquhar's Special Rainbow Mixture of Single Early Tulips 



Single Early Tulips 



These well-known favorites are extensively planted where early-flowering effects are desired, and from early April well into 

 May there is no other flower that can rival the Single Early Tulips in cheerfulness and brilliance of bloom. In the cool of the 

 early spring they bloom on and on, their lasting qualities being truly remarkable. They are invaluable for forcing or for masses 

 in large beds of one color or mixture, but they look even better when planted in clumps and small masses against an evergreen 

 background. Blooming with the narcissi, they add the missing shades of red and pink so lacking in other spring flowers, and thus 

 provide an interest and variety which could easily be lacking if they were not planted. 



Their culture both indoors and out is exactly the same as that suggested for Darwins Tuhps, except that the bulbs may be 

 lifted and dried off two to three weeks sooner, enabling the annuals and other plants which are required for summer bloom to be 

 planted in time to make a fine start. 



Those marked with an asterisk (*) are the best for forcing. The letters A, B, C indicate the relative time of flowering. 



Not less than 6 bulbs at dozen rate; 25 at 100 rate; 250 at 1,000 rate. If wanted by Parcel Post, add postage at zone rates; weight 

 per 100 bulbs, 7 lbs.
