Early 
Amongst the early spring flowers 
there are none which give so rich 
and attractive a display as tire 
Early Single Tulips. Planted in 
beds and masses they produce a 
perfect blaze of colour, and form, 
perhaps, the most showy feature 
of the spring garden. In the 
case of small beds in the lawn, 
&c., the best effect is obtained 
by planting one variety only in 
each bed, and in very large beds 
by planting the different colours 
in sections or circles. Many of 
the varieties are most useful for 
pot culture, and commencing 
with the Due van Thoi.s may 
be flowered from Christmas 
onwards to the end of April. 
Such varieties as Prince or 
AUSTRIA, Proserpine, and 
Thomas Moore are especially 
valuable for growing for cut 
flowers for tall vases and tabic- 
decoration by reason of their 
long graceful stems and decora- 
tive form. Almost all the varie- 
ties can be successfully grown 
ill ornamental bowls in special 
fibre compost, as recommended 
on page 2, the best for this 
purpose being Dusart, Joost 
VAN VONDEL White, KEIZER 
Kroon, Mon Tresor, Pink 
Beautv, Pottedakker, Prince 
of Austria, Rose Gris-de-lin, 
Thos. Moore, and Vermilion 
BRILLIANT.
