Single Early Tulips 
Few, if any, of the spring-blooming flowers rival the Single 
Early Tulips for brilliancy of bloom or ease of culture. They are 
excellent subjects for formal beds on the lawn or for garden bor¬ 
ders. While they do not possess the same size of bloom and 
length of stem as the May-flowering Darwin, Breeder and Cottage 
varieties, they are used where earlier blooms are desired. Many 
of the varieties may be forced in bloom in January, while all of 
them may be easily had in flower in pots late in February or early 
March. 
Note: The letters A, B, and C, following the varieties, indicate 
their relative earliness of bloom, but, with few exceptions, most of 
the varieties bloom outdoors about the same time when planted in 
masses. The figures indicate the height in inches. 
The following list contains the best novelties extant, as well as 
a complete list of the best standard varieties. We have discarded 
all old inferior varieties.

not before March .

Monsieur Mottet. The color of this Tulip is ivory- 
white, and instead of producing one flower on a 
stem as other Tulips do, it carries from 4 to 6 
blossoms which are in bloom all at the same time, 
on a stem about 18 inches tall. The result is a 
unique cut flower and also an excellent garden 
variety . .$0.85 $6.25
