Early Single Tulips 
THE FIRST TULIPS TO BLOOM 
Olds’ Early Tulips grow about seven to fifteen inches tall, are entirely 
hardy and bloom two weeks earlier than Darwin or Cottage Tulips. They 
usually blossom in April, continuing for a period of two to three weeks. 
These dauntless leaders in the season’s procession of bloom, gaily put forth 
their valiant colors while most plants still are dormant. 
V later varieties, early tulips rival them in 
brilliance of color, and frequently in size of bloom.

“Last fall we bought 100 Breeder 
Tulips from you in assorted colors. They 
have responded with such beauty that I 
must write to tell you about them. We 
planted the bulbs in a double row at the 
edge of our lot next to our neighbor’s 
so they could enjoy them, too. They 
take as much pleasure and pride in them 
as we do. The different colors are strik¬ 
ing and everyone who sees them com¬ 
ments on their beauty. I measured one 
stem and it is 32 inches long, including 
the blossom.” — E. Geissner, Wis.
