Single Early- 

 Tulips. 



T^HE Tulip is always attractive from 

 ^ its benuty and brilliancy of color, 

 and is one of the popular early spring 

 flowers. A few bulbs scattered here and 

 there produce but liule effect, but when 

 planted in masses, or in smnll grou|is, thev 

 become at once grand and brilliant, and 

 eclipse, in variety of coloring and pictur. 

 e>que effect, almost any other flower. Our 

 collection is unusually fine, embracing ail 

 the choicest vnricties. Tulips require cul- 

 tural treatment similar to Hyacinths ; the 

 bulbs, being smaller, should not be planted 

 so deep. All the varieties named below 

 are well adapted for pot culture, especially 

 the Due Van Thol sorts, which can be 

 forced into bloom for Christmas with but 

 little trouble. Put 3 bulbs in 4-inch pot. 



The figures prefixed indicate the average 

 height in inches of each variety. 



Jg@" J/' Tulips are wanted by t?iaily 

 add at the rate of 5 cents per dozen for 

 postage.
