There is no question but that 
the Tulip is the most popular 
spring flower that grows. The 
soft, seductive breezes have 
scarce whispered in our ears 
that spring is at hand, ere our 
eyes, wearied of winter’s dull, 
somber, lifeless tints, are daz¬ 
zled by a sudden blaze of Tulips in rainbow 
shades, ribboning the earth with warmth 
and color. From the first Due Van Thol, 
scarce peeping above the ground, to the 
last Gesneriana Tulip, holding its flaming 
cup high aloft, there is a constant succes¬ 
sion of Tulip beauties, single, double, dwarf, half-dwarf and 
tall, early, medium and late, with blossoms cup-shaped, 
star-formed, bowl-like, pseony-flowered, imbricated like a 
rose, or twisted, waved and horned like the plumage of some 
fantastic bird. No garden can be complete without Tulips 
and plenty of them. Fortunately they are inexpensive.
