BEAUTIFUL EARLY SINGLE TULIPS. 
I 
THE TULIP. 
The Tulip is extremely hardy, and of easy culture, flowering as freely in the shade as in the sunshine, and 
producing as tine flowers in a confined town garden, as in more lavoured places. Double and single Tulips, 
when associated together and planted in front of shrubs, maintain 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, Snowdrops, or Crocus ; these flower first, and when out of bloom 
the leaves form a green groundwork for the blossoms of the Tulip, or the leaves can be cut down close to the 
ground when the Tulip begins to flower. 
EARLY SINGLE TULIPS. 
The Single Tulip has a greater variety of rich, delicate, and attractive colours than any other section of 
spring-flowering bulbs. Those alone who have massed the different varieties, planting the bulbs s inches apart, 
can form an idea of their beauty and great diversity 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 seme way as the Hyacinth for early-flowering and succession. (Sec fage 7 
under Hyacinths, for cultural directions.) 
«5T The varieties of the Early Due Van Thol Tulip, Nos. 471 to 478, 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 Taper 
White Narcissi, the scarlet and yellow Due Van Thol Tulip, No. 473, is extensively used. The growers 
for Covent Garden plant them thickly in boxes, and when in flower transfer to pots, 5 or 6 bulbs in a pot.
