TULIPS 



Although the Late Flowering Tulips are now more popular for outdoor planting than the Early 

 Tulips there are still many who admire the quaint charm of a bed of these dwarf early flowering varieties. 



For growing in pots indoors or for florists use the Single Early Tulips are still largely used because 

 of their ease of growth, richness of color and early blooming season. 



The culture of tulips out of doors is the same as that of hyacinths, except that the bulbs should be planted about 

 three inches deep and three to six inc^bes apart. Tulips are perfectly hardy, so that only a slight protection is required 

 from extremely cold and sharp winds, 



Many of the single varieties force readily and have become great favorites in the house in midw^inter. If potted in 

 September and treated as directed for hyacinths they may be had in bloom in December. Two bulbs in a four-inch pot 

 have been found desirable. When they show a tendency to bloom just above the bulbs they must be kept longer in 

 the dark to draw out the flower stems. A splendid effect is obtained by planting from three to a dozen bulbs in a 

 medium sized pot. 



All single early varieties commence flowering two weeks in advanceof other sorts of tulips and are admirably adapted 

 to culture in pots, borders or beds. 



SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 



The letters Ay B, C, etc., following ihe name of a variety refer to its time of blooming when planted outdoors, A being 

 the earliest, and those marked B comi7ig into fttll bloom before those marked A are gone, and those marked C a few days 

 later than the B Class. 



The letter d, w or t (dwarf, medium or tall) indicates the comparative height grown outdoors. This will be found useful 

 in selecting varieties for bedding.
