SINGLE EARLY TULIPS. 



THE Tulip is always attracthe from its beauty and brilliancy of color, and 

 is one of the popular of early spring flowers. A few bulbs scattered here 

 and there produce but little effect, but when planted in masses, or in 

 small groups, they become at once grand and brilliant, and eclipse, in variety of 

 coloring and picturesque effect, almost any other flower. Our collection is un- 

 usually fine, embracing all the choicest varieties. Tulips require cultural treat- 

 ment similar to Hyacinths ; the bulbs, being smaller, should not be planted so 

 deep. All the varieties named below are well adapted for pot culture, espec- 

 ially 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.
