SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
FOR APRIL-BLOOMING OUTDOORS, POTS, AND FORCING 
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 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 frequently used where early 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 quite 
a number of varieties which no longer grow well.
