Single Early Tulips 
The Gay and Friendly Early Flowers 
TULIPS INDOORS 
Tulips may easily be grown in the house in pots for winter blooming. Fill 
the pots half full of good soil and then set in the bulbs and cover even with 
the top. They should be kept in a cold, sheltered place, but not allowed to 
freeze. After a few weeks they may be brought into the house as wanted.

This class gives us the first bright flowers in spring. Of the spring 
blooming plants, few, if any, rival the Single Early Tulips for brilliancy 
of color or ease of culture. Because of the uniformity of their height and 
upright stems, they lend themselves to formal bedding and mass planting 
or for garden borders. For cemetery planting they are preferred. 
CULTURE. Set out the bulbs during October and November, and until 
the ground freezes up, 4 to 5 inches apart, and cover 4 inches. Bone Meal 
is the best fertilizer for Tulips.

Double Early Flowering Tulips 
Long Blooming—Fine for Massing 
Double Early Tulips, like the Single Early varieties, are bright colored 
and are primarily used for larger beds and strong color display. The 
flowers are almost as large as Peonies and of beautiful coloring; a bed 
of Double Tulips in full bloom offers a grand picture. The flowers of 
Double Tulips last longer and they bloom a little later than the Single 
Tulips. They are used extensively for cemetery planting.

the ground freezes up, 4 to 5 inches apart and cover 4 inches. Bone Meal 
is the best fertilizer for Tulips.
