Due Van Thol Tulips 



These are single-flowered and the earliest varieties; they are 

 extensively used for forcing in pots, pans, etc. They are not so 

 desirable for cutting, as the stems are rather short; still very useful 

 for the florist who uses his own stock. They grow uniformly 5 to 8 

 inches high and, excepting the first variety, flower at the same time.

Double Early Tulips 



The double varieties cannot be forced so early or readily as the 

 singles. One of the earliest, Salvator Rosa, may be had by the middle 

 of January, while varieties preceded by a star (*) may be flowered 

 from January to March. The flowers are large and brilliant and are 

 effective in beds or groups. If grown in pots, do not attempt flower- 

 ing before they are well rooted. 



If to be sent postpaid, add to catalogue prices, 5 cts. per doz. and 

 35 cts. per 100 bulbs.
