Few, if any, of the spring-blooming flowers rival the Single 
Early Tulips for brilliancy of bloom or ease of culture. They are 
excellent subjects for formal beds on the lawn or for garden 
borders. While they do not possess the same size of bloom and 
length of stem as the May-flowering Darwin, Breeder and Cot¬ 
tage varieties, they are used where earlier blooms are desired. 
Many of the varieties may be forced in bloom in January, while 
all of them may be easily had in flower in pots late in February 
or early March. 
Note: The letters A, B, and C following the varieties indicate 
their relative earliness of bloom, but, with few exceptions, most 
of the varieties bloom outdoors about the same time when 
planted in masses. The figures indicate the height in inches.

ing easily for Christmas. 
‘ : ‘Couleur Cardinal. C 12. $0.55 per 12; $3.75 per 100

ing on account of its odd color and habit.

large flower on long stem. Fine bedder; splendid for forcing.

‘-Pink Beauty. C 12. $0.60 per 12; $4.25 per 100

March.
