SELECT BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 
EARLY SINGLE TULIPS 
With proper regard for shade and position, I certainly recommend planting Early 
Tulips out-of-doors. I usually alternate groups of these with Late Tulips and Darwin 
Tulips, and thus have a pretty show for a much longer lime. 
In the East they grow these by the millions in open ground and make a wonderful 
show with them. In California we can grow them quite as well in pots, but they will 
be failures in the open ground, and to succeed must be shaded as indicated on page 3. 
The groups may be of from twelve to as high as 150 of a sort, and can be planted 
close together, as they do not (lower at the same time. The foliage of one sets of! the 
others. Well planned, such a bed is very satisfactory. 
Any of the following varieties will do for this, and in the Bay cities either the 
east or west side of a house or the same situation as regards trees will answer. 
The varieties that I offer are among the tallest of this class, and are all well adapted 
to pot culture (see bottom of preceding page). 
For forcing and pot culture these are the only Tulips to use. 
YELLOWS: Chrysolora is a large flower, not very long-stemmed, and one of the 
favorites for potting.. The price is 3 cts. each, 30 cts. per doz., $2 per 100. 
WHITES: White Swan is so tall as almost to suggest a late Tulip, and lasts a long 
time. Prices same as above. 
REDS AND SCARLETS: Sparkler, or Cramoisi Brillant, fairly dazzles the eye 
with its orange-scarlet flowers poised on long stems; Crimson King 
is scarlet, but lending more 
to glowing red, and wonderful 
in its intense colors. The 
price is 4 els. each, 40 cts. 
per do/.., S3 per 100. 
YELLOWS AND REDS: 
A favorite in these colors is 
Keizerkroon, whose picture 
on page 3 makes it outsell 
any other early Tulip that I 
offer. Look at the picture, 
and fancy the glowing crim- ^ 
son-scarlet center in striking 
contrast to the bright yellow 
rim. It is large, also, and 
one of the best potting Tu- 
lips. Keizerkroon is 4 cts. 
each, 35 cts. per doz., S2.50 
per 1 00. Cottage Maid is a 
lovely rose-flushed white, and 
one of the favorites for pot- 
ting. The price is 3 cts. each, 
25 cts. per doz., $2 per roo. 
TERRA-COTTA: Thomas 
Moore is a handsome flower. 
The color is line terra-cotta, 
Hushed with gold; it pleases 
everyone. Price 3 cts. each, 
30 els. per doz., $2 per 100. 
See No. 3, front cover.
