THE TULIP. 
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 
mixed, we recommend to be planted in front of shrubs, maintaining as they do a longer display, than if either 
are separately planted. In gardens where the flower beds must be kept gay from the earliest dawn of Spring, 
plant between the lines of Tulips, Scilla sibirica, Chionodoxa lucilioe, Snowdrops, or Crocus, and as these flower 
first, they can be removed or cut down when the Tulip is coming into flower. 
EARLY SINGLE TULIPS. 
The Early Single Tulip has a greater variety of rich, delicate, and attractive colours than any other section 
of spring-flowering bulbs. Those alone who have cultivated the different varieties of Early Single Tulips can 
form an idea of their beauty and great diversity in shade and colour and the grand effect produced when massed 
in flower beds, or grouped in borders, or used for indoor decoration, three in a pot, and cultivated in the same 
way as the Hyacinth. See page 7.

EARLY DOUBLE TULIPS. 
Double Tulips have massive, brilliant, diversified, and beautifully coloured flowers, and are suitable for beds 
on the lawn, terrace, etc., also as edgings to Rose beds and shrubberies. Planted in groups of three or more in 
flower and shrubbery borders they are very effective. 
The * indicates the best sorts for pot culture. For sectional lines, when the Early Single Tulip is planted in 
designs, the Toumesol, No. 677 , is most valuable ; it is also the best to force for early flowering, and is extensively
