EARLY FLOWERING 
SINGLE TULIPS 
FIRST TO BLOOM 
Olds’ Early Tulips grow about seven to fifteen inches tall, are 
entirely hardy and bloom two weeks earlier than Darwin 
or Cottage Tulips. They usually blossom in April, continuing 
for a period of two to three weeks. These dauntless leaders in 
the season’s procession of bloom, gaily put forth their valiant 
colors while most plants still are dormant. 
Though not as tall as the later varieties, early tulips rival 
them in brilliance of color, and frequently in size.

EARLY FLOWERING DOUBLE TULIPS 
Double Tulips are about the same in height, a trifle 
later in season, remaining in bloom a little longer than 
the single early class. Their mammoth double peony flow¬ 
ers make a beautiful display in beds (see illustration be¬ 
low) or planted in with the single earlies to extend the 
blooming season. This class is also prized for growing 
indoors in pots. Having a larger flower they require a 
fertile soil in order to reach perfection. 
BLEU CELESTE. (14 in.) (Blue Flag.) A delight¬ 
ful shade of pale blue purple. This beautiful tulip blooms 
late along with the cottage tulips. A good place to plant 
this variety is among the shrubbery or in the perennial

for 90c; 100 for $6.00, postpaid.
