Single Early Tulips 



Blooming in April along with the Daffodils the Single 

 Early Tulips are the first of all Tulips to bloom. Be- 

 cause of their early blooming they can be used to ad- 

 vantage for beds and borders, which are later to be 

 used for bedding plants, such as Geraniums, Petunias, 

 etc., as they will have finished blooming by the time 

 such plants *are ready to set out. 



The Single Early Tulips are also the best class for 

 forcing, varieties marked ^'j being particularly adapted 

 for this purpose. 



Best results are obtained by getting the bulbs in* 

 the ground during October, so that strong root growtr. 

 v.-ill have been made before Winter sets in, although in 

 favorable seasons plantings can be made as late a.~ 

 December first. Plant bulbs so thev are covered by no: 

 more than 4 inches of soil and space 5 to 6 inches 

 apart. After the ground freezes, cover with peat moss, 

 leaves or strawy manure to a depth of 3 inches to pro- 

 tect from alternate freezing and thawing. Remove this 

 covering in the Spring after the weather has become 

 settled. The letters in the descriptions below denote 

 comparative earliness of bloom and figures height in 

 inches.
