Single Early Tulips 
The Single Early Tulips comprise a group of Tulips which are 
far more valuable for garden use than most people realize. Flower¬ 
ing, as they do, along with the Daffodils, they come at a time when 
their brilliant tones are most welcome and provide a range of colors 
not duplicated in the later types. Some exquisitely beautiful things 
are to be found among them and it is to be regretted that they are 
so neglected by the discriminating gardener. 
Because of their earliness, they are the best suited for beds to be 
planted with annuals when the bloom is past, for they ripen in time 
to be removed and allow the summer plants to make an effective 
display by midsummer. In the border they give color at a time 
when little else is available, while they are best fitted of all for 
forcing. 
In the following list the handsomest varieties are represented, and 
we urge our customers to include some of them in the season’s order 
and learn how attractive these early kinds can be. 
Detailed planting directions will he included zvith the shipment of the 
bulbs. The figure following the name indicates the relative time of 
flowering.
