Single Early Tulips 
TOP-SIZED BULBS ONLY 
The old-fashioned Single Early Tulips are unsurpassed for bedding and, with 
few exceptions, excellent for forcing. Gardeners are learning that the wholesale 
discarding of this class, which took place a few years back, was a mistake. The 
monotony of the solid beds of red and yellow, and the acres of Keizerskroon which 
used to make our parks and gardens offensive, will never return, but such lovely 
things as De Wet, Lady Boreel, Pink Beauty, Sunburst, and Rose Luisante 
are indispensable in any well-planned garden. Blooming with the narcissus, at a 
time when bright color is sorely needed, they are treasures indeed. They are gone 
by the time the space is needed for annuals and bedding plants, so that there is 
no blank interval in the effective use of the ground.
