DUG 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.

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