SINGLE EARLY TULIPS. 



TH,E Tulip is always attractive from its beauty and brilliancy of color, and is one of the popular 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 

 o-rand and brilliant, and eclipse, in variety of coloring and picturesque effect, almost any other flower. Our collection is unusually 

 fine, embracing all the choicest varieties. Tulips require cultural 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 Chiistmas with but little trouble. Put 3 bulbs in 4-inch pot. 

 The figures prefixed indicate the average height in inches of each variety. 



jg^=lf Tulips are wanted by mail, add at the rate of 5 cents per dozen for postage.
