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 arc 
used where earlier blooms are desired. Many of the varieties may be 
forced into 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.
