MICHELL’S SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
The Single Early Tulips are far more valuable for the garden than is generally accepted, blooming so much earlier than the Darwins and at 
a time when daffodils are at their best. Excellent effects can be produced if used in the border; they make their best showing when little else is 
in bloom. The earliest of all Tulips to bloom when forced. 
The asterisk (*) preceding the name of a variety denotes that it is suitable for forcing as well as bedding. The letters A, B, and C following 
the name indicate their relative earliness to bloom, the A’s being the earliest, followed by the B’s and later by the C’s. Figures indicate the 
normal height in inches. 
If Tulip bulbs are wanted by Parcel Post, add 25c. per 100 for postage to the first and second zones; 
for other zones, please see Parcel Post table on page 1
