BEAUTIFUL EARLY SINGLE TULIPS. 
1 1 
THE TULIP. 
Our Single and Double Tulips were awarded First Prize International Hort. Exhibition, London , 1892. 
The Tulip is extremely hardy, and of easy culture, flowering as freely in the shade as in the sunshine, and 
producing as fine flowers in a confined town garden as in more favoured places. Double and single Tulips, 
when mixed together and planted in front of shrubs, maintain a longer display than if either are planted 
separately. In gardens where the flower beds must be kept gay from the earliest dawn of Spring, plant between 
the lines of Tulips, Scilla sibirica, Chionodoxas, Snowdrops, or Crocuses ; these flower first, and when out of 
bloom the leaves form a charming green groundwork for the blossoms of the Tulip. 
EARLY SINGLE TULIPS. 
Those alone who have massed the different varieties of Single Tulips ( planting the bulbs 4 to $ inches apart), 
can form an idea of their great beauty and the rich diversity there is in shade and colour, and the grand effect 
they produce grouped in flower beds or borders. The Single Tulip is extensively grown for indoor decoration 
(three or five bulbs in a pot), and cultivated in the same way as the Hyacinth for early-flowering and succession. 
«ST The varieties of the Early Due Van Thol Tulip, Nos. 538 to 543 , flower together , and are of the same 
height, which renders them valuable for beds and borders , where an early Spring display is required, also for 
forming designs. For early-forcing, to bloom with the Roman Hyacinth and Double Roman and Paper 
White Narcissi, the scarlet and yellow Due Van Thol Tulip, No. 537 , is extensively used.

DOUBLE TULIPS. 
Double Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and beautifully diversified colours, and are very effective 
in beds on lawns, terraces, etc., also as edgings to Rose beds and shrubberies. Planted in groups of three or 
more in flower and shrubbery borders, they are very attractive.
