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 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 
masses. The figures indicate the height in inches.

Rembrandt Tulips are nothing more or less than Darwin Tulips 
in which white, lavender, red and 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.

Named varieties of Rembrandt Tulips are
