Single San 
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 Cottage varieties, they are used where earlier blooms are de¬ 
sired. 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 rela¬ 
tive 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. 
Brilliant Star, A 12 Doz. $0.90, 100 $6.75

of great substance. Splendid early forcer, flowering easily for Christmas. 
*Couleur Cardinal, C 12 Doz. $0.90, 100 $6.75 
Brilliant crimson-scarlet with a deeper tone or bloom on the outer petals.

substance. Splendid for forcing and excellent for outside bedding.

habit. Quite different in color from any other variety. 
■(■Flamingo, B 12 Doz. $0.75, 100 $5.50 
Carmine-rose, shaded lighter. The petals are striped white and very 
crinkled, giving the flower a decidedly artistic appearance. A very pop¬ 
ular variety among florists for forcing on account of its odd color and 
habit. 
Fortuna Doz. $0.95, 100 $7.00 
Large, oval-shaped flower on tall stem. Silvery satin-rose, shaded fawn. 
With age the flower changes to soft rose. A very beautiful Tulip which

Golden Brilliant, A 14 Doz. $0.95, 100 $7.00 
Deep golden yellow, egg-shaped, very substantial flowers carried on 
tall stems, which makes them excellent for forcing. One of the earliest 
yellows which should be much more used for early forcing.

Brilliant crimson-scarlet, edged clear, rich yellow; excellent, large flower 
on long stem. Fine bedder; splendid for forcing.

flower of graceful form. An improved form of Primrose Queen. 
*Pink Beauty, C 12 Doz. $1.10, 100 $8.00 
Bright cherry-rose, center of petals striped white. It has no equal as a 
bedder, for the stem is strong and the white center of the big, fleshy

Does well in pans, but not before March.

ular flower. One of the easiest and earliest forcing Tulips; very sweet

d~J3izcirre and HSybloem i/ulips 
(Old Dutch Tulips) 
Bybloem and Bizarre Tulips are "rectified" Breeder types. The Tulips are 
of an old race which has been grown in Holland and in France since the 
beginning of the seventeenth century, and which caused the famous Tulip 
craze in 1635. The Bybloems are queerly striped and feathered rose or 
violet on a white ground. The Bizarres have dark brown stripes and feath¬ 
ering on a yellow ground. They flower about the same time as the Breeder 
and Darwin Tulips but do not grow quite so tall, and are seen at best ad¬ 
vantage when planted in clumps in the herbaceous border or among ever¬ 
greens and shrubs. They are above all sensational show Tulips. All form 
rare artistic beauty.
