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 m 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 
above), 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.
