B ECAUSE of their brilliant colors and early blooming, the Early Tulips hold a high place in the esti¬ 
mation of good gardeners. They come into bloom in early April with a riot of gay colors, supple¬ 
menting the yellow and white of Narcissi with a rainbow of shimmering pinks, scarlets, violets, deep golden 
yellows, and apricot tinted flowers. The stems are much shorter than the later Tulips, although some of 
the finer varieties reach 15 to 18 inches high. 
But one of the most valuable points about the Early Tulips is that they quickly mature after flow¬ 
ering, so that the bed can be planted with annuals and give a good second display before the summer 
is too far advanced.
