^ISpw You Can Select Your Tulips blooming^season 
The best color effects in a bed or border of tulips are obtained by planting 
varieties that bloom at the same time. This makes it easy for you to plan your 
tulip planting this fall. 
In our trial grounds at Hamburg, we have checked and re-checked this list for 
several years. So here we have grouped them according to the time they bloom. 
Of course, you understand that some variety may bloom a day or so earlier, or 
another variety may bloom a day or so later than some of the other varieties in 
the same group. But generally speaking, all in each group bloom approximately 
the same time. 
If you want a real early bed you select Group “A.” If you want a medium-early 
bed, then you select Group “B.” For a medium bed, select from Group “C.” 
For a late bed from Group “D.” 
PLANT PLENTY OF TULIPS THIS FALL. The cost is so little. Every Top 
Size Holland Grown Bulb we send you is perfect and is guaranteed to produce a 
beautiful bloom next spring. 
GROUP “A” 
These generally commence blooming in Hamburg around April 26th. The 
flowers are large and very brilliantly colored. They are extra fine for borders and
