Few, if any, of the spring-blooming flowers rival the 
Single Early Tulips for brilliancy of bloom or ease of cub 
ture. They are excellent subjects for formal beds on the 
lawn or for garden borders. 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. 
Brilliant Star. A 12. 95c per 12; $7.00 per 100. 
Bright vermilion-scarlet, same color as Vermilion Bril¬ 
liant, but larger and of great substance. Splendid early 
forcer, flowering easily for Christmas. 
♦Cramoisi Brilliant. A 14. 80c per 12; $5.50 per 100. 
Brilliant scarlet. A splendid bedder and forcer. Very 
handsome. 
♦Couleur Cardinal. C 12. 85c per 12; $6.25 per 100. 
Bright crimson-scarlet, with a deeper tone or bloom on 
the outer petals. A bed planted wholly of this variety 
is a grand sight. Fine for midseason forcing. 
♦De Wet. B 16. 85c per 12; $6.25 per 100. 
Golden yellow, flushed deep orange; large, sweet 
scented flower of erect habit. Quite different in color 
from any other variety. 
♦Flamingo. B 12. 80c per 12; $5.75 per 100. 
Carmine-rose, shaded lighter. The petals are striped 
white and very crinkled, giving the flower a decidedly 
artistic appearance. A very popular variety among flor¬ 
ists for forcing on account of its odd color and habit. 
♦Fred Moore. B 12. 80c per 12; $5.75 per 100. 
An improved form of Thomas Moore. Deep, ruddy 
apricot, shading at the edges of the petals to dull 
orange-yellow; center marked olive-green; medium sized 
flower; sweet scented. A lovely color when forced. 
Golden Brilliant. A 14. 95c per 12; $7.00 per 100. 
Deep golden yellow, egg shaped, very substantial flow¬ 
ers carried on tall stems, which makes them excellent 
for forcing. One of the earliest yellows which should 
be much more uSed for early forcing. 
♦Keizerskroon. A 15. 95c per 12; $6.75 per 100. 
Bright crimson-scarlet, edged clear, rich yellow; ex¬ 
cellent, large flower on long stem. Fine bedder; splen¬ 
did for forcing. 
Lady Boreel. B 13. 95c per 12; $7.00 per 100. 
Large, long, snowy white flower of splendid shape. 
The finest white for bedding, and superb for pots or 
pans. Cannot be forced as early as White Beauty. 
♦Le Reve (Hobbema). C 14. 95c per 12; $7.00 per 100. 
This variety is excellent for late bedding. The color is 
old rose, flushed buff; very large, globular flower with 
rounded petals and carried on a strong stem. 
Max Havelaar. B 14. 90c per 12; $6.50 per 100. 
Very close in color to watermelon-red; rather large, 
well-formed flowers. 
♦Mon Tresor. A 12. $1.05 per 12; $7.75 per 100. 
Large, pure golden yellow flowers. Mostly used for 
growing in pots or pans, for which purpose it is best. 
♦Moonbeam. B 14. $1.30 per 12; $9.50 per 100. 
Deep primrose-yellow, shading to soft canary at the 
edges; very large flower of graceful form. An improved 
form of Primrose Queen. 
♦Pink Beauty. C 12. 95c per 12; $7.00 per 100. 
Bright cherry-rose, center of petals striped white. It 
has no equal as a bedder, for the stem is strong and 
the white center of the big, fleshy petals shows up 
very conspicuously against the broad, vivid rose edges. 
Does well in pans, but not before March. 
♦President Lincoln. B 12. $1.10 per 12; $8.00 per 100. 
Large flower of clear magenta-violet, slightly paler in 
tone when grown indoors. A variety that looks well 
when bedded out with a pale yellow variety. 
♦Prince of Austria. B 14. 80c per 12; $5.75 per 100. 
Brilliant orange-scarlet, with a clear yellow base. The 
flower is large and of a very attractive shade when 
forced. A splendid bedding variety as well. 
Proserpine. A 14. 90c per 12; $6.50 per 100. 
Rosy carmine, with a white center marked slate-blue; 
very large globular flower. One of the easiest and earli¬ 
est forcing Tulips; very sweet scented. 
♦Rising Sun. B 15. 85c per 12; $6.25 per 100. 
A variety used for exhibition on account of its pure 
yellow color and wonderful size and substance. The

A lovely, graceful early Tulip for the garden. Large, 
oval, pure white flower on long, curving stem. Goes

Rembrandt Tulips are nothing more or less than Darwin 
Tulips in which white, lavender, red or other colored 
stripes or flakes have appeared. The blending of colors is 
at all times in perfect harmony and most attractive and 
colorful. They are especially fine when used for cut flowers. 
They bloom at the same time as the Darwins and require 
the same care. We advise their use in a mixture only. 
♦Finest Mixed Rembrandt Tulips. 
$1.15 per 12; $8.75 per 100.

Much has been said about these two types. So far noth¬ 
ing really worth while at a reasonable price is available and 
after consulting with our growers we have decided not to 
offer any. We do, however, unreservedly recommend the 
“Ideal Darwin Tulips” to those seeking to improve their 
Tulip collections.
