MICHELES 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.
