Later Single Tulips 
Among the Tulips generally included with the single early 
sorts there are a few varieties which bloom from five to six 
days after the others, or just enough later to mar the bedding 
effect where they are planted with the early kinds. These varieties 
are here grouped together with the purpose of suggesting that 
they shall be grown by themselves, and not with the early 
sorts. They are all extremely beautiful, and serve to fill in a gap 
between the April-blooming Tulips and the first of the Cottage 
Tulips.
